Hi Tired of tired,

I'm newly diagnosed and new to this site too. It's great, isn't it?

Yes, I have problems with dizziness and half the time when I stand up my feet don't quite do what I want them to. I'm constantly going over sidewise & hitting the wall, the coffee table, my desk...

I've always been a klutz but this is getting ridiculous!

Gee did I post this?? Sounds exactly like me.... going over sidewise.

Last night we were watering flowers in the yard and I kept tipping over, I stumbled all over the front yard. Hubby finally asked if I was ok and I told him yeah as long as I don't fall off my feet. About that time our neighbor came home having had way too much to drink. He stumbled up to the porch and about fell going into the door. Tom looked at me as said "Well he's drunk again" & I asked him how he knew. He said by the way he was stumbling around. I asked him how the neighbors that might have seen me stumbling around would know that I wasn't drunk? He didn't have an answer and neither did I. I'm thinking of getting a t-shirt that says "I'm not drunk, I have fibro"

Be wise and dignified like the swan: he maintains his composure, staying unruffled on the surface, while always paddling like crazy underneath.

LOL--you ever fall off of birkenstocks? Now that's embarrassing! You could sell those tshirts and make a fortune.

I blame my tripping over the "ripple in the time space continuim"

Or something star trekkie like that.

But if you ever make up T-shirts like that I'd buy one.

Yes, ma'am, mcbesth, I m with Janilee ...You get those t-shirts printed and I would gladly buy one.

I, too, sometimes have trouble with balance and walking straight. I just stop for a minute, take a deep breath and tell myself to slow down.

Put me down for one of those T-shirts. I was coming up the stairs to our front porch the other day and fell over into the wall, and then tripped over nothing on the front porch, I said "darn lumpy air" and went on in the house.

May the sun bring you new energies by day,
May the moon softly restore you by night ,
May the rain wash away any worries you may have,
And the breeze blow new strength into your being,
And then,all the days of your life,
May you walk gently through the world,and know it’s beauty and yours.

I find that when working in my garden, I am constantly wanting to fall forward because I have my head down a lot and when I'm bouncing off the walls inside, it's because I've just gotten up. It's sort of a vertigo thing but there's nothing wrong with my ears. Go figure.

LOL! I feel so clumsy all the time....first, I get mad, then, I can't stop laughing! But, it sure can hurt! Especially, if I land on some of my little ones toys....Ouch! My toddler just looks at me and starts laughing. He enjoys it so much at times, he just climbs up on me...he thinks I'm playing.

Some days my legs feel really tired. I walk up a few stairs and leg muscles feel so weak that I don't think I will be able to make it to the top.
