Hi marjou …...Lamictal is one of the meds. that is giving me trouble and Klonopin is the other. When I read the side effects on the Mayo website they both cause instability, falling, unsteadiness on my feet ….. BINGO! That's me. So when I talk to him this afternoon I'm going to tell him and see what he wants me to do. I've been falling periodically, but the other night I took a "flying leap" caught my foot on a table, fell and in trying to get up fell again, right on the right side of the face - particularly my cheek. I laid on the sofa with my cheek on an icepack and fell asleep. When I got up, I went right to bed. I thought my cheek would be black and blue the next morning but it wasn't ….. but, my eye looks as though someone has punched it. I guess all the blood from the cheek went there. I also have a sore hip, elbow, hand and knee with various cuts and brush burns. I'll talk to him today and see what he wants me to do. I can't continue this way.

I'm in the beginning stage of autonomic neuropathy, which is a neuropathy that, among other things, affects balance. I know how frightening it is to feel yourself falling and not able to stop it. I'm not looking forward to the day when I have to start using a cane or walker. I just hope it's still a long time off, but if I need it I'll not deny my need for help.

I hope you'll soon be able to get out and begin your church search. Finding the right one could be a turning point for you. I pray that God will guide you to the church that may best help you.
