@scottrl Hi Scott, I just watched one of your videos- Pushing A Chain. You have the voice and appearance of a professional speaker!
My problem is a balance issue. I’m waiting for my first appointment with a movement specialist neurologist.
I have Ataxia, and a mystery (to me) syndrome.

Good luck with your race!

Thank you for your kind words! Feel free to subscribe to my channel and to tell others.

I understand about your challenges with balance! Since half my brain is affected, I have to work at keeping my balance sometimes.

SilverSneakers has some good videos to help with balance. Try this link:

Frankly I can't do a lot of the exercises they show, but I can do some basic stuff. It's a start, anyway!

As a stroke patient, I have plenty of issues with ataxia, so I understand what you're going through! I've gotten used to some (like being forced to type one-handed), and I fight an unending struggle against others (like foot drop). I'm making progress, but it's slow. As I've said elsewhere, I feel trapped in my body sometimes.
