Does Anyone Have Trouble With Balance? Lately I Am Constantly Afraid Of Falling, Because I Am So Wobbly.

I've noticed balance issues lately too but thought it was just aging &/or lack of exercise, decreased strength. Started tai chi but can't stay with it.

I am much better when I super hydrate. I try to drink 4 quarts of water thru the day, getting in 3 in the morning. My issue these days is a rashing in uncomfortable places. Good luck.

I am always a bit alarmed at anything neurological, which the loss of balance could be, or perhaps an inner ear issue.

I had a small, hemorrhagic stroke 7 years ago, with none of the usual symptoms, and am lucky I survived it as I had no idea I was having a stroke.

If it doesn’t resolve, or even if it does, perhaps mention to your doctor.

I have PV and had vertigo for several years. It primarily affected me when getting out of bed, rolling over, or quickly getting out of a chair. I have been on Besremi (interferon) since March, 2024. As my counts have normalized, my vertigo has improved and almost gone. I also have tinnitus. The “volume” on that has gone down, as well. I think it’s all related.

I have, but it was caused by blood clots that formed in my toes. I have PV snd every other misfortune that can go with it.
