What have you done to improve balance?

@stephencbabcock - I was told by a top neuro doc that balance is controlled by feeling, sight and hearing. If any one of these are compromised, it can impact balance. I have numbness in feet so like you, if walk into a room and the lights go out, I'm in trouble.

Hi, Ed, @stephencbabcock. I've become aware of lights on/lights off curiosity. If I'm in a room and the lights are on, then no problem. Same thing of out-of-doors: if it's full daylight, again no problem. Strangely enough, if I get up in a dark––but familiar––room (as I do most mornings), once again I'm able to move about comfortably. (Dark, unfamiliar rooms? All bets are off!) I have the most difficulty with half-light: poorly lighted rooms and, if out-of-doors, pre-dawn and twilight. It's half-light that plays havoc with my balance. –Ray
