Brain Demyelinating diseases OTHER than MS

Oh no! Hope you did not get hurt, nor hit your head. I have fallen several times, and it is frightening. Twice went to get head checked out since I did bang it rather hard. Thank God, no fractures, no brain bleeds. But I am ever so afraid of being in situations where I could get hurt, so I quickly scan each room/space within which I will be in, whether at home or elsewhere. NO SUDDEN moves, including line of vision. Examine each room of your house for potential dangers (tripingslipping on small rugs -- actually they are ill advised, I removed a nice one that I had in front of the island/sink area, and the ones in the bathrooms are definitely non-sed). Look around each room to see if you should move or remove small tables with pointy edges. I wear Skechers with a wonderful sole as my "slippers", they are designated specifically for indoor use only. Install night lights and motion detecting fixtures that can turn on when you need to get up at night. I lose all sense of spaces around me when in the dark, so darkness terrifies me.
Now as far as the dizziness: definitely bring that up to your neurologist. Go prepared with a list of any possible signs that things just weren't right before the episode, and how you felt afterwards. Enough sleep? New medication, even over the counter ones? Going prepared will help your doctor to best helpyou. Try to get in the practice of keeping a journal, even if just jotting down fragments of sentences. That is how you can help yourself and in turn help your doctors to best take care of you.

I would appreciate your letting me know who things fare with ou. Best of luck: Iris🌺
