”A positive attitude gives you power over your circumstances instead of your circumstances having power over you.” —Joyce Meyer
Well I am a day late with this post so I apologize. While my tremors seem to be doing much better these past few weeks I am having trouble with my balance. Studies do show that a small number of people who struggle with essential tremor can have balance problems. Also a side effect of having the DBS surgery is having balance issues. My mom and I recently went on a small vacation to Michigan and did a lot of walking. We did more in the four days there than I do in a week. While it was good for me; it was also challenging. Some of the sidewalks were not the most even so that makes a difference. I did trip a few times, but never fell. That is a good thing as I can not afford to fall. I have noticed when I am having my leg pain and also when I am more exhausted is when the balance is at it’s worse. I am wondering if I get out and walk a little more regular if that will help. I am definitely going to work on that. My next follow up in Columbus is in October so will definitely mention it to the Nurse Practitioner. Until next time
