Default Every time I fall

my symptoms go from stable to far worse. I am hoping this time that may not happen.
It seems that through the entire course of my knowing I have MS a fall has preceded a drastic change in my symptoms... to worse.

The summer before I was diagnosed I took a horrific fall in New York City. Lost it, and there I was, face down on a sidewalk. Not the way to show my DH around my home town... bloodied shins. Within a few months it dawned on me that there was something drastically wrong. MS was the diagnosis.

The next was a bad fall almost three years ago... ended up in the predicament I am now in.. not too ambulatory. My wheelchair is my best friend.

Now, day before yesterday, I was creeping around my kitchen when wham, out of the blue I fall flat... again face down. The only difference was that I tried to stop my fall and managed to take out a kitchen cabinet.

I swear, if my symptoms escalate again...
We shall see, thanks for listening to my vent.
