I have a question. I went to my MS doctor today and he noted I am starting to have balance problems.



I can not walk heel to toe any more and a few other things. He is changing my antidepressant to Prozac and sending me to physical therapy.



I am to go back in two months. If I had not improved then he is going to assume it is the MS and add another MS medication along with the Avonex.



He said he wants to make sure it is not stress causing me to have more trouble. The PT is to help me more with functioning at home.



I can not go up on my toes to reach things. The steps are becoming more of a problem for me.



I fell while coming down the steps over a week ago. I fell backwards so it was not an awful fall but it did hurt and left me bruised. I am 45 and not obese.



I assume someone my age and size should not be having these types of issues. Especially considering I used to be very physically active and strong.



He did the scratching the bottom of my foot test several times. My left toes bend down. My right toes flare out while my big toe stays generally unresponsive.



He double my Trileptal and added a medication for spasticity because of awful leg cramping in the morning.



Any ideas?
