I can relate to what you’re mentioning about tripping and falling. I still haven’t found a medication that helps me for my PMR as most of them do not work so well for me! I really can never figure out why I’m doing so much tripping and falling and then I realized that I have to learn to teach myself how to make sure I pick my foot up high enough so I don’t trip and fall which is not so easy to do for me. It’s kind of like thinking about when I’m walking to make sure I don’t slide my foot I lift it slightlynot easy!!! when I’m going up and down the stairs I try to use stairs that have two banisters so I can hold onto both of them and make sure I hold on really tightly and never hurry on the steps always go slowly!!! I hope some of this information can help you and I wish you the very best moving forward!!!

If adequate doses of “standard” PMR meds are not helping, hoping your docs have considered the possibility that you have something else that should be treated differently.
Hope this link helps. Good luck.
