In the past week I have fallen 4 times and yesterday I hurt my ankle and had to go to emergency today. Thank God it was only a sprain but hurts like hell. The funny thing, that is my bad leg that is weak and I am getting therapy for. I am super frustrated with this F#@%*%G disease! It sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad it was only a sprain, but if you ever break anything I can show you how to cut the cast off LOL

a sprain hurts worse than a fracture usually ouch

I agree the disease can suck at times.....alright most the time! I do hope your ankle gets better and that you stay up on your feet more then off them! I went through a couple months of that and then it went away to ocassional falls. It is frustrating but hang in there and take care of yourself!!

So sorry that you have hurt yourself. May be time to consider a cane. Until recently, I always had a cane, or hubby as a walking stick, or furniture to hold on to. I have noticed that after starting the LDN, my balance seems to be the first thing improving. Be Well!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
