Hi jonbon the cold seems to afect me when I am out in the cold I seem to turn into what I can only discribe as a 'tin soldier' all my movements seem to be stiff does anyone els have this problem

The wind in Yorkshire on wednesday and thursday caused me to remain indoors as any really windy day makes staying upright an impossibility, it seems to be one step forward 4 to the side and 4 back, it is horrific .

Strong winds do affect my balance but there are no after-effects. I live in Jerusalem where high winds are frequent. I try to see walking through them as another exercise. I am not always successful. N

It looks nice outside so I stagger out to the garden and get blown over,walkersand all.

The wind was very strong and I could even feel buffeting on my heavy road scooter.

The weather has a similar effect on me, and when it's very cold, it seems to have an effect on

my eyesight.

Yes, the wind effects my balance, as it's horrendous anyway. I use a cane, but still have problems staying "upright". Also, cold temps make me more "stiff" then I already am, and if it's too hot and humid, my body doesn't like that either. I don't feel stiff, just ill. Ataxia is not my idea of a good time. that's for sure...,ha! ;o)

cold weather def makes me much stiffer - tin soldier effect just like johnpa.

I do feel unsteady when the wind blows, luckily I hang onto my husband otherwise I would'nt venture out. Cold definately gives me the 'tin soldier' effect haha like johnpa, oh well we all make the best of things.

Don't get blown away ha

I feel stiffer in the cold and my TV reception is worse. Winter weather isn't good.
