Look out!

Everytime I walk to someplace in my house and happen to look away for just a second, I look back and I'm walking straight into something. What's the deal with that?

I do the same thing. It's almost like whatever way my head is facing, my body goes too.

I also can't close my eyes in the shower. If I do, and tip my head to rinse my hair, I fall over too...I've learned to be very, very careful.

If I move my head too fast at anytime, bad things happen. I stumble, get dizzy, generally topple over. You're not alone. -Jen

Oh, no hun, you are so not alone here either. I run into things all the time, and I also can't close my eyes standing up, or even look up at say the ceiling fans, or top shelves in stores. At least it gets me out of cleaning the fans. Bright side to everything.

I go to 12 step meetings and at the end we stand in a circle, hold hands and say the serenity prayer...usually with eyes closed. If I close my eyes, I sway into the people on either side. If one is a guy, they think I'm getting friendly! I can laugh at the physical stuff but the thinking stuff scares the crap out of me!

It's like being a two year old all over again!
I have to be very careful, especially when I have to step over something, I will topple if I don't stratigically monitor each movement and then still it happens...lol

I remembered something else. I liked to look up at the stars at night when I'm outside, and the moon, so my husband got me a telescope for christmas last year. Now I have a hard time using it cause everytime I look away from it I get real dizzy and sick.

    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...
