Sushi Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Nope, run into everything. Grab hold of things as I navigate to steady myself. It isn't that I'm dizzy, I just seem to aim wrong. I've found one thing that helps with this balance thing (a tip from an autism therapist)--press the tongue into the roof of the mouth and for some reason balance is improved.

Mrs. Burschman Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 I find that I have a magnetic attraction to my bed's footboard. It's oak, mission-style and really hard. Seems like I just don't take wide enough turns sometimes. All the benefits of alcohol with none of the fun, courtesy of POTS.Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sushi Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 God help us if we were stopped while driving and asked to walk a straight line! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgan617 Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Can't remember the last time I had a day when I didn't hit my toe on something, or trip over a foot stool, or crack my funny bone on something.My periperal vision has become non existant, and I don't seem to see anything below my nose any more. Falling down is always fun too..... morgan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pearsjon Posted December 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 i love the achohol reference. this may get edited but this pots stuff reminds me of my drug days when i was waaaayy younger. good times.i always did like the drunk feel but never did like the acholhol taste much. do yall get the waves of the floor moving under your feet?or the words move on the puter pr book?i think that's why i feel so stupid sometimes,cuz i can't seem to make things stay still for me. i'm not dizzy either. llike sushi i'm just off when it comes to aim. i am a smoker( i know bad girl) i couldn;t tell u how many times i have lit the cig in the middle. doc wants me to quit, but right now it is my crutch that seems to give me some peace. kinda like a security blanket. sushi, i'm just going to tell them to take me to jail now, i'll never pass.straight line, lol. sorry eeryone amoungst all this research and dys i try to find humor, albeit weird, still the funny things about this dys stuff keeps me going.everyone have a HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

runningshoe Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 I know I have shared this before but one time I was walking through my tiny country town on the way to the library and someone yelled out the windon "I think you had a few too many today." UGH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deucykub Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 I haven't found one yet either!My husband could drink a six pack and pass a sobriety test. It's very annoying that he is more stable "wasted" than I am on a good day! (Oh, and it's really fun to see me if I actually splurged and had one drink.) LOLToday, in the kitchen, I actually walked in a circle for a few seconds. It was like my compass couldn't find true North, so I just spun. Heck, I guess I used to love the merry-go-round on the playground. Now I can have the fun without the equipment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajw4790 Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Yeah, there has been many times were my unsteadiness has looked like I had a few too many, instead of whatever the real actual reason is.Sometimes just trying to take off my shoes can be entertaining, I can almost fall over 5 times before the are off! Thank goodness the wall catches me! Door ways can also prove to be a bit of a problem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostkendra Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 The other day I was getting frustrated beyond all belief with my various symptoms, vulnerabilities, and reliance on others. My grandmother was driving me around yet again, when it dawned on me. The feelings and sensations that I am feeling are (to some) very much in demand. People spend a great deal in order to experience the sensations that I am haunted with. Just think some have paid so much that they've lost money, family, and friends. I can not imagine wanting to feel this way. I spend most of my time just trying to deal. My money is spent on doctors and meds to eliminate these sensations. I am very blessed that I am on this side of the line and not the other. Just to imagine.....<shaking my head>....I know that this has nothing to do with the original posts, but it is something that crossed my mind while reading all the replys.

Mrs. Burschman Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 The other night, I was at a Christmas party at which the red wine was flowing quite freely. It looked like a POTS convention. Actually, I think I was the LEAST wobbly person there!Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostkendra Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Amy - I still love your weebles quote in your signature. I swear, I use it on a daily basis. Since I've seen in on your signature, I've almost been afraid to use it. But it's true. Since I've never actually passed out, I will continue to discribe myself as a weeble!

Mrs. Burschman Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Go ahead! Use it as often as you like. I have no corner on the Weeble Wobble market!Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
