Thank you

[Alberta56]

Big thanks to everyone who commiserated with me on my recent fall. Especial thanks to those who related their own stories of falling, mostly making them funny. We're a brave lot on Health Unlocked. It's taking me longer to recover than I thought it would. My shoulders still ache a bit, making it hard to do my ACB breathing and hoping I won't need to cough.🤪 I wonder if the jar to my spine has done something else as well- I don't feel quite right in other ways. One good thing- the doctor has given me some pills for my dizziness. When I saw him about this some time ago he declined, because I was on so many other pills already. This time he obviously felt I needed something. Still feeling unbalanced and the tinnitus is worse. Never mind- onward and upward. Love to everyone, Chris xxx

Thinking of you Chris and hoping things improve over time. Glad you have pills for the dizziness now. Xxx❤️🤗

Thank you. xxx

I'm so pleased the doc has given you some balance medication, hope it helps. I thought the after effects would last a bit - mine certainly have after landing on right knee & hand. Hip & spine jarred as well as right arm & shoulder. In the past I would have got realigned with osteopath or chiropractic but can't afford that now. The lady I see does deep tissue massage, she works wonders & only charges me £30. She says keep walking and stretching so that's what I'm trying to do. Keep up with the balance classes, I shall find one too. P ××××

Thinking back to previous falls, the last bad one was last summer, I got a bad concussion when I lost balance on g'daughter's Segway & fell backwards onto stone slabs . The lump on my head was spectacular. A&E staff all had a good titter . Take care Mrs!

I'm trying to be careful, but I'm very wobbly. Good luck in avoiding any further falls. xxx

I always have Serc tablets in my bag for when i feel dizziness coming on after suffering for years with labryinthitis, dizziness is a horrid feeling so sympathise with you x

[Alberta56 in reply to Izb1]

My tablets are called Betahistine. I wonder if they are related to yours?

[Izb1 in reply to Alberta56]

Yes they are the same thing just a different name. I have the Stemetil for when I cant walk and the room spins, thankfully haven't needed them for a few years now x

[Alberta56 in reply to Izb1]

Room spinning is horrible. Glad you have avoided it.

It takes a while to recover from such a spectacular fall as yours! Even if you were 30 years younger Glad your GP is sorting it. xx

I hope I won't do anything like that in a hurry. Can't imagine how professional pratfallers do it for a living.🙃
