Does anyone else struggle with hand eye coordination

[AliceJ47]

I've knocked over 3 drinks in the past month now. It feels like my brain sees a different picture to my eyes. I'm not overly concerned about it. But I would like to know if others are in the same boat.

When my disease is active all manner of things happen.. I drop things big and small . I know I’m going to pick them up or move them but the message doesn’t get to my hands on time. I trip because my foot gets left behind doesn’t keep up with my brain. I don’t drive when I’m like this as my response/ reaction is too slow

As above I have some days super clumsy and trip over my own feet and drop or think I have grip of things and it all lands on the floor.

One time I was sat holding a cuppa coffee in my right hand and the TV remote in my left. I went to put the remote down and got confused of which hand I should relax. Long story short I got a lapful of coffee 🤣

Oh yep all the above my hubby at one point last year asked me if I needed a bib as struggling to lift arms and everything landed up over me!

Yes in same boat as above. My thing when disease active is I knock things over plus trip over fresh air,but mainly I burn myself. I don't seem to compute things are hot. You are not unusual. I feel for you.

ALL THE DAMN TIME!

As soon my hands returned to a normal size after diagnosis and starting meds, it's like they forgot how to work!

I now have to use bamboo/plastic plates and stuff as I broke soo many normal ones Haha

I'm thinking of starting piano again to train some coordination.

As I was coming home from hospital after a check on my Pacemaker,stopped to get fuel,decided to get a coffee,and of course went to put lid on,knocked it over.....nothing unusual for me...Expensive coffee was charged for 2!

Me too, put things down and haven't full placed them. I either drop them or spill tea everywhere. Its like i get brain fog lol.

Yes like deeb1764 I tuck a drying up cloth into whatever I am wearing as a bib saves so much washing of jumpers shirts etc.!

One thing that I am always saying these days is "I only have to look at things to make them fall over" and it does feel like that. I often trip too and get very worried when I do because three years ago I had two nasty falls where I ruptured tendons in my shoulders and ended up having to have a shoulder replacement after months of extreme pain. I also have cellulitis and an ulcer on my leg so I worry about banging my leg on something.

I am quite short and when I reach up in a cupboard to get something out, I knock lots of other things out of it onto the floor. Another strange thing is that sometimes I look at something, usually on TV, and think it is something completely different to what it is. For example I could look at what I think is a red curtain when a few seconds later, I realise that it is really someone in a red dress and clearly not a curtain. Weird.

Yep, I’m a danger to everyone and everything around me .

Think I need to move into a bouncy castle

Always missing things /walking into chairs/dropping cups. Thought I was clumsy but only when RA is bad. Found out the pressure was wrong in my right eye which made my perception incorrect- caused by flare up. Now on eye drops haven’t broken a cup in months 😃

[allanah]

Yep , super clumsy !!😂
