<p>I have had syringomyelia for over 30 years now, and it seems to effect everything going on with my body,not counting the chronic pain associated with it.<br />I fell last November and must have damaged something inside because they said I was bleeding internally, then they found out I had Covid, which is still effecting me almost a year later.<br />I don't think they fixed the internal bleeding because I'm having trouble walking a few steps then having to stop to catch my breath, if I don't stop, I know I'll pass out and fall again.<br />I might have to go to my local hospital before my October 9th, 10th, and 11th visit with the Mayo clinic in Rochester, MN.<br />I'm so tired of all the health issues, I wish I could catch a break, even for just a little while.</p>

Hello @woundedbear64. You sound rather defeated, and for obvious reasons. When our health is compromised, so is our daily life. You will notice that I moved your post into an existing discussion on Syringomyelia that you can find here:
- Living with Syringomyelia: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/living-with-syringomyelia/
I see you posted in this discussion a few months back, so I felt the members might like your update.
I am encouraged that you have an upcoming appointment in October, which is just over a month away now! In the meantime, what have you been advised to do with regard to your breathing and falling concerns?
