Default Leaning to the right

Hi all, long time no participation.

I've been doing about the same for the last couple of years. I have idiopathic neuropathy in both legs and feet, take 50 mg Tramadol 3xs day and Lyirca 75, twice a day. At night I smoke pot and this combo seems to keep me at the same level of pain for most of the time. I'd like to note that since starting Lyrica, my BAD days have lessened. ( just an FYI)

This morning I woke up and headed to the bathroom. I kept stumbling to my right. First against the dresser and as I passed the dresser, I stumbled into the wall on my right. I didn't skip a beat and fought my way into the bathroom, where I steadied myself as I did my thing.

I felt a little better and stumbled back to bed. I wasn't dizzy at all, but it was like my right side was heavier than my left and this caused me to walk to the right. Like a car might feel if you had a very low right front tire and hit the brakes, veering to the right.

Now its early afternoon and it has lessened, but it still happens occasionally.

I feel like its a one time deal, but thought I'd check in with you folks in case its serious.

Thanks for any input you may have!

Jim
