My upper body is most affected but started falling a lot after the last relapse. During uncertain times in recent years I had to wait around to know. Fell & fractured a hip during 🤮 Was enough to convince the neuro I should start dmt. Took the advice. Overcame the hip problem & back on track with daily balance exercise. I don’t use a stick or walking aid & nobody in the medical world has suggested i should. I’ve just slowed down my pace of walking & make sure don’t have to rush from A to B. I don’t drive, quit that long ago. Upper body - would need a self driving car, so I’m out of that game for the good of public safety 😂
