@brightwings....very common after a cerebellar stroke, which as we know, is area that controls balance. It's all about losing the natural born balace/recovery ability after a misstep. Probably not an issue after a different type stroke, but almost a given after a significant cerebellar stroke. Maybe one of the worst effects. Our natural reflex to correct ourselves, thus preventing a fall, is damaged, or like me, not quite, but almost, completely gone. I trip, I go down. For me it's not about dizzy. Simply about balance. Falling is very much a concern. I'm strong, muscle-wise, so it's not weakness. Looks like clumsiness....but it's damage from stroke. Yeah. Sucks. But at least I can walk!😊

Edit: darn! Thought this was in the subject of cerebellar stroke. Yep, sure haven't a clue about strokes in other areas of brain. Ignore me. Carry on! Lol!
