Falling?

[bettebelle]

Hey everyone,
First of all sorry for my several posts.  I just feel like I have started declining worse than I already have.  All of this is hard for me, I really don't like to bother my neuro unless I absolutely need to.  So, in the last few days I have new symptoms, could this be from my relapse I started two weeks ago?  I now am having my teeth chip and I have fallen twice in the last 24 hours.  One going down stairs, it startled me so much I screamed, but a friend who I was with caught me.  It was completely unexpected and painless. (yesterday)  Today I fell in the middle of the living room.  My knee just went down, it happened so fast again I didn't know it was coming and again it was painless.  Could this be from the neuropathy in my feet?

So here is an update.
Talked to my doctor today.  She ordered another emergency MRI of my lower spine.  I am so nervous and anxious.  I am seriously feeling absolutely crazy.  Since I posted I have now fallen numerous times, sometimes I hit the floor and other times I catch myself.  My friends and family have described it as if my brain is thinking that I am about to walk down a stair, but there is no stair and my joints are shocked when it hits the surface and it makes my knee go down.  It is so odd I'm very thankful that other people have seen this so I atleast know I'm not completely crazy. I wish this diagnosis thing was easier.  My doctor is thinking that I am a clinically isolated case  at this point in time.  Hopefully there will be answers on this next MRI.  I am scheduled for this Saturday.  I am thankful that they are letting me go home for the holiday tomorrow.  Happy Thanks Giving :)

I called and they are having me check in Monday with my doctor and neuro nurse prac.  I talked to the on call dr. and he said that it sounded like the disease and could be related to my recent relapse, but if things got any worse to call him and they evaluate me. Thank you both for your support :)

You are not a nag this is important.


People with MS describe there legs going out unexpectedly. My arm and hand do. I drop things mostly when I am tired.

sometimes you can have a torn meniscus and suffer this "sudden" go down with the leg......be sure and mention it to the doc....
hope you get better

Thanks Alex,
Thats what I was thinking I just feel like a nag to them.  I just don't know what to make of it.  At first I was thinking it was from my constant muscle spasms, but I have a bad feeling about it. They did just give me a solumendrol treament 2 weeks ago. I don't know if they could even do anything.

This is one time your Neurologist needs to know.
