I'm losing my balance often the only way I found to try to limit the falls is stay close to walls or big furnitures when inside and a walker outside, if it happens usually I'm not hurt so I use humour to explain what just happen. For example once I fell down the stairs just in front of my hubby he asked me what are you doing? I said I practising a new stunt was it good? I know it's not a big help but there is not much else to do....

I have a big balance problem, when I walk I look like a drunk even at 08:00... Here is how I react to it, if I start to have trouble in a public place, I say: they should play music it would look like I'm dancing or if there is music I will ask someone to dance with me... Everybody laugh and then they are ease to ask why... I live in a little town and I'm known as the lady with a cane because I have 17 of them (one for every occasion)... Don't be afraid of ridicule it never killed anyone... Plus here we have a saying: "Who is not worth a laugh is worth nothing... I have a walker, a wheelchair and a scooter depending on how I am I pick one... Keep laughing best medicine....

Thank you all for your response; loving the one about dance moves.... Have used that one many a time!!!! 😂😂😂

I know right. I just wonder how many people I've gotten in trouble for not cleaning the floor. :D

@A MyMSTeam Member - Before they got a patent for Ampyra people were, and some still are, taking what is called 4-AP. It can be purchased from a compounding pharmacy. It is the same drug, just not in a time release form. It is also much cheaper.
