Has anyone experienced falls and loss of balance?
Hi,
I was diagnosed in 2021. I have been having a lot of falls lately.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this happen?

3 ReactionsWelcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, @maryhines395. Sorry to hear you've experienced falls and loss of balance. Glad you could hear from @monnikers about the physical therapy experience.
monnikers - do you have a Parkinson's disease diagnosis?
maryhines395 - what has your neurologist said about the falls and loss of balance? Are they related to the Parkinson's? Medications you may be taking?

1 ReactionI had numerous falls (8) in a matter of a few months. I was referred to a physical therapist who quickly suspected
inner ear crystals was the cause. She performed the epley maneuver on me and my symptoms were immediately gone! I could not believe the instant relief and I have not fallen since! It's worth a try.
