Hi, Dyankee. Do your doctors think you have MG?

It's possible that you have "foot drop," where it's harder to pick up your feet. Have you had your vitamin B12 tested?

It sounds to me like you have muscle weakness, especially if you can't catch yourself during a fall. Untreated MG can be dangerous if you become too weak. Do you have shortness of breath? Double vision? Droopy eyelids?

By "damaged," can you clarify what you mean by that? When a person falls, they can get bumps and bruises, etc. but those heal up.

An eye doctor can assess your vision, in case that's a problem.

You know, experts say that looking down is the worst thing you can do because it puts the focus on falling and not on standing!

Yes, I've had bad falls. They are usually due to not being able to pick up my feet well enough. Though I recover fairly well afterwards. It's not fun to fall!

I hope you'll get all of this figured out. How long have you had this problem?

Annie
