Hi @rivermaya34, I'm pretty much balance challenged myself. You mentioned the symptoms pretty much changed the past few months. I think it's a good idea to let your neurologist or doctor know sooner rather than later. I found some really good information that may shed a little light on what may be going on and help answer your questions.

I think the fact that you recognize you are having the symptoms gives you a heads up and may help you prevent a fall. Mayo Clinic has some simple balance exercises that may be helpful here - https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/fitness/multimedia/balance-exercises/sls-20076853

Hoping you have a much better day and find some answers.

@johnbishop Hey John, thanks for sharing that info. Right now, it all makes me very nauseous to even look at or think about, so I'll wait til that subsides some to try. I have always struggled with knowing when to speak up about new symptoms etc, fearing I'm bothering them or like it'll accomplish nothing in the end. But, I guess that's my own fault, and I need to give them grace and the benefit of the doubt. So, I'll be sending over that message today and we'll see what happens, I guess. Thanks for looking out for all of us here, you're always so helpful 🙂
