My real name is Don, I am an RAF Veteran, and I have a balance problem and unsafe for me to walk about outside, not even in my back garden......my wife is also my career and drives our car as I'm not allowed to drive anymore, and I live in the Garden of England........and what about you JR ??

Hi Don my name is Jane I think I'm 43 and live in Hampshire. I haven't been properly diagnosed yet but I've got many symptoms. I have respect for veterans they have given a lot for this country and return home to be treated like sh*t. Ironically I used to work in aviation industry and (get ready) was once asked to NDT a super guppy! But all distant memories now.. But I know about balance or lack of it !!

Jane, my claim to fame is.....I served in the RAF for nine years but never flew in an aircraft, nor did I leave the UK. My only experience in an aircraft was a flight from Gatwick to Jersey for a holiday for my 60th birthday.
