Have you tried Physical Therapy? That helped me. Leslie

It's hard to say, but I'm with Leslie. Physical therapy is a great place to start! I wish you the best of luck. 😊

if I practice my balance exercises, I notice benefit. Retrain .your brain-neuroplasticity. I’m currently in a balance research study and definitely seeing improvements 👍

I would love to hear the results of the balance research study once you are finished!

That would be fantastic to hear about your results. Also, how did you get into research? Is it something anyone can do?

Ditto what everyone else said. I've had vestibular PT twice. It really helps.

Welcome to the forum, Mooker . Yes, you can do some PT. Also, you can go to the MS GYM (Trevor Wicken) on the internet. It’s free to sign up but they offer a subscription. You can go to mymsaa.org for more ‘ms’ resources. I look forward to hearing more from you. Keep Smiling :-D

Welcome Mooker. I am another one that has found balance exercises helpful. They must be done where you can stop yourself from falling though.

Yes, great point. I usually stand in front of my recliner, just in case I lose, which happens. By using YouTube, I go to the Wii fit balance exercises and try to mimic what they are doing on the screen.
