I dont think theres an exact number on too many times falling on your head.... Depends on how hard you knock it. in other words once can be enough!

Either way you need to do whatever you can to protect your head. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.. Falling is no good regardless. Please get help with the falling.

Thanks Dihenry, I really do try not to fall, it just seems to happen.

Hello. I was falling 3 times a day at one point. I realized that it was my foot dragging slightly and catching the floor, the stair, whatever. My PT got me to but an x-strap which holds up my toes. It is a marvel. Easy to use and I have not tripped since. I guess the first thing to figure out why you are falling then figure out a solution. One day you are really going to hurt yourself, and there is enough to deal with as a person with MS without a broken appendage.

I kept falling down to, somebody from here recormended i see my GP about a walker, I got one and now when my ballance is bad i use it around the house, its a bit cumbersome, but it has done the job, but for outside i use my wheelchair. hope this helps, God Bless.

I bought a bicycle helmet a few years ago & used it a lot when I was sick & tired of breaking my kitchen cabinets.

My wife fell on our steps a couple of times. We final got a stair lift. Best investment we ever made. She loves it. Be carefull with the walker. If you balance is really bad you can still fall. My wife was using a walker, fell and broke her wrist. It has made everything a little more challenging.
