Losing Your Balance & Fibromyalgia

Published August 22, 2011 by Karla Setchel

Hey Folks,

We’ve talked in my FMS/CFS/Chronic Pain Support Group about how many of us suddenly lose our balance without feeling “dizzy” or having any advanced warning.  I found an article below where they’re doing studies on this.  I rarely “fall down”, I mostly just tilt to one side & fall into stuff or misjudge distance & run in to door frames, walls or furniture that I’m TRYING to walk AROUND.  I also knock over my glass when reaching for it — poor depth perception, motor skills or whatever causes us to “lose balance” I guess.  While this article doesn’t give any definite “cure”, it’s reassuring to know –as with all the other symptoms– that you’re not crazy, stupid or lazy, your body/mind is just not working the way a “healthy person” does. Be kind to yourself, keep looking for answers and let the rest of us know when you find them!

    You really make it appear really easy along with your presentation but I find this topic to be really one thing which I believe I might never understand. It sort of feels too complex and extremely broad for me. I’m looking ahead to your next put up, I’ll try to get the hang of it!
