What the others have already confirmed, down to the various bruises. I manage to bash my elbows more times than I can count on a daily basis off door frames, furniture, etc. I stub my toes tons as well, or injure other areas. I'm lucky I've yet to break a bone!

Even though I'm klutzy with that stuff, I can balance like a professional (yay Nintendo Wii Fit balance board training!) which is crucial if you're a walker (I walk at least 4.5 km x4 a week) in Canada, the winter can be quite brutal with all the ice and snow after our storms (and we live in the snow belt of Atlantic Canada...!), so balance is key when you hit a slippery patch, or have to scale a snow hill caused by a plow, or trek through mountains of sidewalk snow because the plow hasn't been around yet. :p

I wonder sometimes if my depth perception is tied to MS alone, or perhaps migraine in part? I find on days that it's really bad, I'm also sometimes getting optical tossed into the mix. I sometimes will experience the 'shrinking' sensation (like things are getting smaller, or swirling into a center point - I don't know how else to explain it!), or floaters more pronounced/spots before my eyes. I find I'm definitely more depth-perception impaired when I have headaches or migraines, that's for certain... but the depth perception issues have become more noticeable in recent years.

I wonder how much of my visual problems are MS related and how much are just the natural process of aging. My Mom had a terrible time with her vision after she turned 50. And she didn't have MS.

Same here. It's really bad for me as I already have depth perception issues because of my vision!
