The dizziness that started this whole journey several years ago is back. Not 24/7 like it was but definitely when I am laying down with my head flat. This makes it hard to get a good nights sleep. I also have been headaches on a daily basis now at anytime of the day. Luckily a couple of migraine pills seem to take care of that. I also have now developed an off and on again tremor in my left hand. The other night I could not get it to stop so I finally just set on my hand..lol. I admire and respect those of you who have tremors you live with all day every day.
Lastly and probably my biggest challenge's are that my legs have become very weak and even though I am still able to walk they just feel like they are going to give out any second! I have left my beautiful wife know that at some point in the near future I am going to need a scooter or wheelchair. The other issue that is simply getting worse is my balance. Not a day passes that I do not fall into a wall or something or have to catch myself from falling. I "list" to the right so I am constantly trying to compensate for that.
But again I keep a postitive attitude and my faith is strong. Everyday God gives me to be with my wife and kids is a miracle and I am always very thankful for that.
Lastly I will ask that if you are reading this blog to just leave a comment that says anything, even if that is just, "I'm reading." The reason I ask is that I am hoping to help spread the word about Cerebellar Ataxia and MSA but this blog will have no use if no one is reading it. Thanks again and God Bless. To all my fellow MSA patients thanks for your support.
