REEVALUATING THE CAUSE OF MY FALLS

2 Replies

Ok so I have been giving lots of thought regarding my Falls. Thanks to everyone who has replied to my posts regarding this topic. It has made me think and think hard.

Maybe, just maybe, the falls are not a symptom of RLS but are a consequence of the continual kicking that I have had to endure thru my entire childhood. This would probably make more sense. I have had a couple of arthroscopies and the investigations showed that my knees are full of dislodged and floating cartridges.

Once again, thanks for causing me to consider my thought process. It is truly appreciated. I love this site.

That would make more sense for your falls. And not them being a symptom of RLS.

I'm really sorry about your falls. It's despairing when nobody has this but you, isn't it? I didn't get any empathy (only sympathy) to my post about a destroyed deep sleep. While I appreciated the sympathy, it would be nice to find someone going through the exact same thing. After I posted, I kept praying "ok, someone PLEASE have this". When I got no empathizers I thought "well, isn't this juuuuust great! I guess I'm the only one in the world. Nice!"

I'm glad you're reevaluating the cause.

Take care,
