I think that's the answer: Don't let PN interupt your dail activities, no more than is necessary to stay safe. Because I'm dealing with only balance issues (no pain, at least not so far), in my early post-diagnsis months I found myself passing up all sorts of activities, from the somewhat more challenging, like an evening's dinner date with friends (host's house = 'hostile' territory! :-), to the simple and routine, like going down the front walk to fetch the morning newspaper. Finally, I had to have a meeting with myself: 'Come on, Ray, these are things you can do, if you really want to. You can do them safely. Just go step by step. If it looks too dangerous … well, maybe next month.'

Cheers!

So pleased to see your reply. This condition has certainly thrown me for a loop. But I will make the adjustments needed. For instance Ive recently started using a walking stick to allow me to continue hiking the area trails where we live. This is big help on the very irregular terrain & surfaces.
