Off balance

I am off balance a lot is there any chance of this slowing down
@Stumbler

Hi @tracey_jameson_oleary and welcome. Balance uses three of our senses, visual feedback, our balance mechanism in our ears and physical feedback for our lower limbs. So, you can see how MS can affect our balance. Here's an article on this MS problem :- https://www.mstrust.org.uk/a-z/balance Do take note that not all problems are MS-related, so a trip to your Doctor may be in order too.....

tracey_jameson_oleary Tracey - I am going to say yes... There are plenty of options as @stumbler mentioned. But the #1 in my opinion is exercise according to your body; walk as much as possible stretching your leg muscles properly. For example - I walk like a drunk; this is not going to change so I accept that part. What I do now is walk differently with my legs placed further apart & my toes pointed slightly outwards - this still gets me from point A to point B. I never mention MS; believe it or not, nobody cares. They care about themselves & our conversation... ;-)
