I am sorry to hear again about all that you have been through.

I have been having serious balance problems for the past year...ever since my RSD spread. I was stuck in a wheelchair for many months as we tried to figure out what was going on with me. Turns out it was just the RSD itself that was causing my balance problems. I still have them...which is the primary reason I still need to use my walker all the time. Physical therapy helped some and I have a lot of strength back now in my legs and arms and stuff...but my balance still is wonky all the time. But with the walker I feel much more stable and haven't fallen in a good long while.

My cynical icon doesn't have anything to do with your post though...just about my general perspective on things with what has happened with my employer. Completely seperate thing and was not meant as anything towards you. I know things seem unfair...they are...but all we can do is try to do the best for ourselves with what we have to work with. I know I don't like the idea of having to walk with a walker for the rest of my life (and I hope that I won't) but even if I do at least I will still be able to get out of the house and do things. A year of being trapped in the house and not able to stand or walk at all for many months of that was a real eye opener for me on how bad things could be and I will do just about anything to make sure that doesn't happen again.
