Hi charlottescot @charlottescot, I previously sent you a private message but not sure whether it went through. I have staggering feet and uncontrolled falling forward periodically. I am hoping you might give me your surgeon's name in New Haven and also the name of anyone in NYC or Westchester County who understood your condition. Also I am not sure what you meant by "Following the spinal tap, I was 'normal.'" Did the spinal tap itself relieve some symptoms? Thank you SO MUCH for posting and for any response you may be able to give to these questions. Nancy
