I'm still weak and falling

Well, I have the right moniker.  I'm still weak and falling - but now I've started falling indoors too.  Yesterday afternoon feeling very weak in bedroom before nap time, my right leg just "gave way" sending me to the floor backwards, hitting the back of my head on a metal chair - ouch - and somehow bringing down my bedside table, lamp, and CPAP machine on top of me.  Today felt weak all day - had to use oxygen this morning for a couple of hours while working at my computer.  My wish for the New Year?  A diagnosis.

Yeah, I thought with all the furniture indoors, I wouldn't need a cane there.  Thanks for your good wishes.  I have an appointment in mid January with a neuro in a different specialty (not MS) and I am pretty sure that I will get an answer (not one I want, but at least an answer).

Free the Limbolanders!!!

Hugs to you too!

Yow!!  Use a cane, furniture, whatever you can.  I can't believe you still aren't diagnosed!!

Here's to a New Year, and hopefully a neurologist who carefully considers all that is going on with you.

Warm Hugs,

Thanks for your very kind response.  Outside I always use a cane for short distances, a walker (4-wheeled rolator with a seat) for longer treks.  After yesterday I'm now considering using a cane for indoors too.

Oh my goodness! That must have been very scary.
I am so glad that you are alright. Although you probably feel a bit bruised today.
Let me ask. Do you use a walker or cane?

I too wish for your New Year...."A Diagnosis!"
Please be careful.
