Hello Joe Scalissi and welcome to NeuroTalk.

Thank you
A diagnosis? On this particular forum the most likely cause is a disease we all deal with --- Multiple Sclerosis. This is a disease of the Central Nervous System(CNS) which effects the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves.

We have a "short circuit" in our internal wiring (CNS) which causes a whole host of problems and symptoms. Our bodies don't work or move smoothly due to this disease.

I am sorry about your mother, it's so very difficult for adult children to see their parent in ill health

Have you discussed your concerns and your mother's health (falling) with her Dr.? A phone discussion with her Dr. while you wait for her next appointment could be helpful. Take care
