Re: QOL: I think mine has improved since I stopped ending up on the floor so much. I'm not stronger, but I have learned somewhat how to avoid collapsing. When I am that weak, I just need to get to the nearest couch or chair before I go down, and I do that by locking my knees and walking with stiff legs. That works because the reason I end up on the floor is that when I bend my knees, even just a little to take a step, I don't have the strength to straighten up again--so I go down.
