Erin & Snoppy I am glad you are getting stronger! It takes a lot of willpower to keep it up and endure the pain it causes! I guess it is the lack of enthusiam I am getting from them, to keep coming. I have only saw the actual Therapist twice, the assistant is the one that I keep seeing. I guess I just need a cheerleader, because I am working so hard to keep up (balance wise) to do my everyday chores and work full time, this is a lot of added fatigue.
Although I think they thought by doing the balance exercises on the foam mat, the half of rubber ball they make me stand on, the swinging bridge, swaying. I could strengthen my ankles and feet to keep my balance. I still can't move my head up or down and hold my balance. I just jolt backwards, which is usually how I fall.
I see the neurologist on the 20th, first time since dx, so maybe he'll have some ideas. Also having a lot of anxiety, I really need to address. Seems to be getting worse, almost constant. Not sure why..
I could maybe try the other Pt in town and see how it goes, might be worth it.
Thanks for the input!
