Hi Ed,
Thank you so much for telling me your story. Very similar to mine - I feel more sane that there is another person out there that wonders where this problem came from. If this is the worse I will get, than I guess I can deal with it. I just started using a cane which I did not want to do but my balance is better. And I use to walk 4 miles a day! Go figure. Best to you and yours. Happy Holidays!

grandmael -- Wow...four miles a day. Impressive! I have trouble with 4 blocks. Wanted to let you know that due to my poor balance, my neuro doc has put me in physical therapy to hopefully improve my balance. I go to PT 2 days a week and my physical therapist feels that after 5 weeks, he is seeing small signs of improved balance. I don't see it but he does, my exercises are geared towards balance deficiencies. It isn't easy but I will continue on because many of us with PT, as you know, the fear of falling is concerning. I feel virtual support groups are helpful and Mayo Connect has given me the ability to communicate with others having similar effects from PN. I've learned a lot from this site and THANK YOU TO ALL OUR MENTORS!!!
