One of my biggest symptoms even before I got diagnosed was a loss of balance and constant falling. This has led me to be afraid at times to even try walking without my husband or someone else near me. At home I can do it as long as I stay near something. But at work or shopping or anything else walking scares me. I have a walker I take to work with me to help ease the fear. I haven't actually fallen per say in over a year, but still a few close calls. This fear I feel like has consumed my whole life. It's not fair, though nothing about this disease is, and I just wonder if there is a possibility of a light at the end of the tunnel eventually.
