Randomly losing balance

Post Reply New Topic

If i was mounted on a spring I could descend stairs like a slinky which is infinately preferable to "at speed via my bum".

I also tend to bump into doorways etc as I have trouble judging the clearance , Ive noticed that a lot more recently and it drives me crazy. Its no wonder I dont drive lol.

Had a seizure last week. Lost my balance (that's the early warning system I think) Then lost consciousness....woke up with a broken cheekbone.

Other times I bump into stuff/ trip and fall.I don't know if it's an actual equilibrium issue, like vertigo/inner ear disorder...or if I'm just clumsy as hell.

I loose my balance all the time, I don't know why, sometimes I feel like I'm about to fall backwards and pass out, it gets so bad.

i only really loose my balance if im fantasizing, 'off somwhere else' and walking. especially in the house. usually if im walking out in some open spaces, walking inhances my fantasy. movement im guessing

Sometimes I'll be standing still and just start to fall over. I also tend to walk into people, walls, pretty much anything in my way. My knees are both covered in scars from falling down or falling off my bike as a kid.

I also have a real issue with navigating stairs, especially at night, and getting down steep hills.

I wonder if it's due to an inner ear problem. There was a post here recently about people with AS having ear aches as a child. I had them all the time until I got into high school.

I have more than my fair share of the "klutzies" and of course there's that mysterious
other left foot that appears out of nowhere and trips me. Sometimes I suddenly get dizzy
and I have to lean on something to keep from falling. My doctor thinks these may be
Transient Ischemic Attacks. But my blood pressure is ok.

I'm a clumsy typist on the computer, and I often accidentally click on the mouse. It's a twitchy kind of thing.
