Up until a couple of years ago my main symptoms were my eyesight and balance issues.
Now, it's my walking and especially my gait. It seems so much harder for me to walk anywhere away from home. My guess is because I have so many things to hold onto in my home and I'm familiar with the layout and conditions. When I go anywhere it seems like my walking takes a nosedive but I think it's just unfamiliar terrain and territory. The grocery store is the only place I feel comfortable in such a large area mainly because I have the cart to hang onto.
I just ordered a quad attachment to go on the end of my cane. It's not the largest one there is. It's flatter and made to give more stability and help balance. I can't wait to get it and try it out.
Here it is:
