Thanks for always taking the time to add your thoughts to my posts. I thought about it being from hypotension period, but decided not since my gait was being adversely affected, it was really weird, I just couldn't walk normally, and was constantly afraid of falling, which, unfortunately, I finally did. I'm really reaching the point where I'm gonna beg my pdoc to give it another try b/c at this point I am so miserable I'd rather risk falling than continue to feel this way. I'll tell him I'll use a walker and wear a helmet if it will make him feel better about it!
Thanks again,
Kat
