Hello, @nancydrain, I would like to join Erika, @erikas, in welcoming you to Mayo Clinic Connect.

I hope that you are able to find some support here for your problem with falls. Like Erika, I'm wondering what type of tests you have had and what type of specialists you have seen. Could you share that information? There are many different types of disorders that can cause this staggering/falling problem. For me, the diagnosis was Parkinson's. But there are other reasons as well.

Here is another Mayo Connect discussion group that discusses, Falling Forward. If you click on this link you can read what others have said about this problem.

If you are comfortable sharing more, can you share what other health problems you might have? In this way, we can connect you with other members who might be experiencing the same thing.

In the meantime, please read the discussion that I posted above and see what you may have in common with these members.
