YIKES! I'm so sorry you're going through this - I hope they can figure out why! I went through a time (for a few years after my car accident) where I was always falling down stairs - I couldn't focus enough on the task of going down the stairs (I was used to always doing many things at once) but I couldn't even look up or I'd fall. But that I'm sure, was because of my concussion.

I really hope they can offer you some help!!! Wow, I'm so sorry this is happening :(

Oh dear - you must be scared to move. I do hope the doctors soon find what is happening and put it right for you. Best wishes. diane
