I`m terrible when i`m really tired which at the moment is most days, the more i seem to think about not doing it i do it :( so can`t win. I get bruises and sometimes have no idea how till i remember a day or so later that i walked in the side of the table or kicked something.

Yes always bumping into things, walked into the open door today. I just don't seem to have very good balance and if I am really tired I tend to have quite bad falls. I always have bruises. lol. Been quite ill this week, I have a really bad cold and I seem to have an awful lot of pain over my kidney area, it was excruciating earlier this week but is still really twingey. Not sure what is going on with me at all.xx

Always banging myself on something, or stumbling. My kids are experts at catching me now lol, and my son walks behind me going up stairs and in front going down as I've ended up on my backside a few times x

I always went upstairs on hands and knees and came down on my bum. Had to admit defeat and get a stairlift a few months ago

Yip.....me too, clumsy doesn't come close to descibing me, lol !

Door frames keep my arms and shoulders black & blue on a regular basis.....I used to find it funny being so daft, but it really isn't, it's painful, embarrassing and I feel so stupid !

It sound like I'm in good company, lol !!! We can all be as daft as each other.

Yes, I frequently bump into things & often feel very trembly inside but not show it physically. It makes me feel very unsteady on my feet.

I also have Ankylosing Spondylosis, sometimes I feel like I am in an ever revolving circle, because one condition effects the other!
