Balance issues after TIA or Stroke?

Some of you have mentioned balance issues after a TIA or stroke. I wanted to see how it's going.

@esque — you mentioned an increase in balance issues while walking after your TIAs and that you were worried about falling. How has your balance been since mid-November, when you mentioned this? Have you experienced any falls?

@spibill — thanks for sharing about the balance issues you experienced and the difference visual therapy made when you learned your eyes were not tracking correctly. Are the prescriptions for 3 x/day mu upsilon eyeglasses, at-home light therapy exercises plus tinted prism lens glasses something you are doing short-term? Or are they something you will do on an ongoing basis? If ongoing, how are you finding keeping up with these?

@zerodas — I noted in another Mayo Clinic Connect discussion that you talked about being told recovery from a stroke is a marathon, not a sprint, which sounded wise. You mentioned in this discussion that your balance and peripheral vision are shot after your hemorrhagic stroke and that you have a routine of daily vestibular exercises and walking with a walker. How is that going? Do you find it easy or hard to keep up this routine?
