Clumsiness

[vixen49]

Lately I've been coming more clumsy I noticed I have been dropping things more then I had done and misjudged stairs is steps this have happened alot at home or shopping malls, does this happen to anyone

[Lucyhobbit]

Yes, I often clip my arm on doorways etc, the more my fibro flares the wrse it gets - its like my spatial awareness goes for a walk

[vixen49 in reply to Lucyhobbit]

Yeah I no that feeling to well when I had this a few years back I just put it down to me getting old but last year as it was getting really bad I thought enough was enough so I went to my docs he did a blood test and I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia anyway warm hugs your way Friend. Ros xxx

[vixen49]

It has to be fibro ny memory is really bad lately and I'm 50 in the middle of April

[sophie22]

I know the feeling, can't believe how clumsy I am lately, keep getting bruises and don't know where they came from. I seem to be loosing my balance more often, not sure why. Hope you have a good day.

[vixen49 in reply to sophie22]

I never was like this before but I now laugh and say ooooooops here we go again it's okay I'm not drunk it's fibrofog then I have to explain what it is

[bluebell10]

hi vixen, yes especially when im tired, ive even fell on people! try explaining that yr not drunk lol x

[vixen49 in reply to bluebell10]

Thankfully I haven't fallen on people came close do you have any walking aids

[bluebell10]

it's really embarasing lol, i done it in a shop a while ago & got a right dirty look. then last week i fell onto a woman at the bus stop, she was ok about it. then in the doctors. sorry yes i use a stick

[vixen49]

I was gonna get a walking stick as to help with the walking but I'll probably be on crutches by then as I got my knee op 8th April

[bluebell10 in reply to vixen49]

oh have you, i hope it all goes well for you :)xx

[Cookie72]

I'm very unsteady on my feet also can't hold light things as I can't feel them, I have to use crutches when I go out because after about 15mins my legs hurt feel very week and like lead, so I have to use them to keep me standing lol I use to use a walking stick, but when I had my back operation in 2006, I was given crutches and then told I would be better using crutches than Stick with fibro as u have the elbow rest which stops too much pressure on your upper arm muscles, whether this s true or not I don't know, but I guess the docs are suppose to know what they are talking about ...gentle hugs to all....Dee xx

[bluebell10 in reply to Cookie72]

Hi vixen49

I sincerely hope that you are feeling as well as you possibly can be today? I am so sorry to read that you have been having this issue, and I genuinely hope that you can find some resolution and relief to the problem.

I have to admit that this has been happening to me for a long time now, and I simply cannot change the situation. It is worrying, I know. Please take care and stay accident free.

All my hopes and dreams for you

[Tinkerjack1912]

Hi I'm like this and have been pretty bad for the last year or so, it's almost like I can't feel things in my hand and I'm always walking into things or miss judging stairs. X

[Ginsing]

HI I am one of the clumsiest but even knowing it is part of Fibro doesn't help does it? I bash my feet into things , drop things and they don't bounce back up. Only last week we had to buy six new cereal bowls as we were down to 2 I seem to have the art of missing the side board.! Then there are glasses they seem to keep getting chips cvery strange oh and mugs how do I bash them,

Mostly however, it is me that gets caught I slip and bang into things if I dont move with my crutches, Really I am safer sitting in my wheel chair.

Take care my friends don't worry about it too much make light of it it is easier on the soul

[bren876]

lol this is the reason i love coming onto this brilliant fibro friendly chat, everytime i feel i'm the only one who's falling over dropping things, getting my words wrong and counting bruises that i have no idea where they've come from you special people put my mind at rest....

lol if my son knew how many times i've dropped his dinner on the floor when trying to get it out the oven he'd never eat another meal at home... Or.Maybe i should tell him the truth and stop putting myself through the pain of cooking!!!!!

Sunshine hugs to you all xxxxx

[vixen49 in reply to bren876]

How old is your son bren876

[bren876 in reply to vixen49]

lol his 26!!!!!!!! I must admit he does look after me.... Just hope my dinners dont hit the floor before my plate..

sunshine hugs vixen49 xx

[vixen49 in reply to bren876]

Huuuuun he should do the dinners or can't he cook lol my 2 older kids can cook when they feel like it which is like once in a blue moon and they went college and my youngest bless him made me his first cuppa which nice hot. Warm hugs dear friend. Ros

[Jeff1958]

[vixen49 in reply to Jeff1958]

[Durham-Lass]

Just talking today with a friend about this, I wobble when walking and people must think I'm drunk also losing balance when standing, fell into the physio the other day. At work I just laugh it off - you have to in front of pupils. LoL.

[vixen49]

Awe bless you Durham-lass we have to have a sense of humour when we're like that hahaha.Ros

[bren876]

Lol Vixen he can make a lovely salad, a toasted cheese and onion sandwich, and a ting dinner (otherwise known as a micro dinner). However he makes a brilliant cuppa so i can forgive the ting dinners when i cant cook.

Hope your having a good morning,

Sunshine hugs xx
