Alpineman- I hear ya! I learned how to fall through all my years of rollerskating and randomly falling otherwise due to my own stupidity....

Trouble spots are the worst for me.... showering doesn't help things... I bought another rug shortly after christmas (I was being too picky about a rug before then actually) to lead out of my bathroom so I wouldn't slip on the tile in my apartment. I also have trouble when I get near certain furniture because of the dropfoot... I don't always realize where my foot is.

Why is it that you always fall in the most ridiculous places? Or it's that way with me anyway. I fell in my closet (for no reason), fell getting out of my chair in my home office (that was funny!), and the winner was when I fell on my carport getting out of my car! lol I'm still not sure how that happened but it was not pretty trust me! lol

I think being tired does play into some of my falls but others are just me losing my balance and busting it.

I have used a cane for quite awhile now and it has saved me from multiple spills outside but I usually don't use it in the house. Maybe it's time to start using it huh? lol

Well I use to teach singing and snowboarding and I use to teach a small segment on falling to try to stop injuries which has help me so much as I seam to love to fall when I'm not paying attention.
I went sking over xmass I concentrated on what i was doing did not have a fall on the slopes.
But standing in the lift line talking and joking with my daugther I decided I should just fall over. of course almost knocked over two very attractive ladies next to me.
So I decided it was thier fault as their good looks made me loose my concetration. That bmy story and I'm Stiching to it. LOL

Hey MS is going to make you fall. You just have to take your time think about what your doing and have a fall stratigy in mind. and never be embarrested its your new life and if you don't hurt yourself laugh at the fun you just had and the entertianment you just gave others.

So you have tripped over that invisable rock too? Although mobility is not a major symptom with me I have fallen at the oddest times looking quite the silly. You just have to learn to laugh at it, get up and move on. Understanding MS helps. It is like our "electrical system" malfunctions and that order from the brain didn't get to the next move. Don't let this MonSter get you down, excuse the pun, but we must not let it know it has us.

Are you kidding? Do we fall? I have a fall about every six weeks or so. I either slither to the floor if I stand in one place too long, or I just go down unexpectedly while walking, like my knee buckles or something. MS, the gift that keeps on giving....

Oh, I've fallen. One was a doozy! Fell holding my Subway, water, and chips while walking to a table out in the middle of a very crowded courtyard at a University. I ate it hard! Total yard sale! But was able to roll over as falling and saved the sandwich! Also fell while walking into a building full of students at the University a different day. That was embarrassing! Tripped on my right foot dropsey problem.
