Falling for no apparent reason: Any ideas?

I have the same problem. Falling with new warning or tell. My ENT believes it is Meniers disease. I’m going for an MRI to ensure that it’s nothing more ominous. I have broken several bones. I have numerous scars and I’m bruised in almost every place, you can think (body attempts to instinctually protect you from a fall, even though you’re not realizing you’re falling. The last fall I had was getting on an airplane and I dropped right in front of the stewardess and the passengers behind, including my daughter,… I fell hard. I’ve read up on vestibular diseases, and I can’t find anything that does not state that you have vertigo or dizziness prior to the fall. Scary stuff.

Meniers disease is one of exclusion, meaning its the last possible diagnosis after you rule everything else out. Sounds like you need a complete neuro work-up. Can't believe you have had that many falls and no one has yet to do an MRI.....did you get a CT of the head done at some point?
