[mollymum]

Hi everyone. Been having very up and down days recently and am really noticing my physical deterioration.

I have hypermobility in all of the ligaments in my joints and have always maintained good muscle strength to 'hold me together'.

Prior to my tbi my right knee and wrist were the least stable joints and would wobble and give way occasionally. I have noticed in the past few weeks that both knees and wrists are getting really painful and unstable.

I collapsed in a heap the other night as I stumbled, and it was scary and hard to get up without anything to pull myself up on. I make myself go for a half hour walk along a familiar path each day to get some exercise, and it is lovely to be out on my own for a while.

It just feels like there is a linking problem between brain and muscle function, affecting moving food from front to back of mouth when eating and also affecting my ability to consciously flex individual muscles. My hands and fingers start shaking and quivering if I am mentally stressed too
