Hi Cathy I’m on Keppra morning and night my balance isn’t great but I surfed since I was 14 now 68 yes side effects are something we must deal with I’m grand mal but you must see the best doctors you can! It does get better as time goes by and life is too good to not participate
❤️ You will find place !

I lose my balance quite a bit. Usually have to hold onto something when getting up after sitting also

I'm an amputee but ambulatory I walk. Honestly though if I close my eyes long enough I could fall over I used to be well balanced. Now not so much.

My balance is ok, I walk & run fine. I do lose my balance for little to no reason. I've been doing balance exercises, they help a little bit. My best defense is to take things slowly.

Leanne Lindsey:
Have always used earplugs/noseplugs when swimming~~BUT never thought about using earplugs when taking a shower?
Might have saved me (Phone number can only be seen by the question and answer creators) per ear.
Now if I wash my hair anywhere earplugs go in my ears.
Consider using earplugs when showering~ They may help with the stuffiness.

Also how many pillows do you sleep on?
I sleep on four~~ found I must be "elevated" so my ears are always draining,
so they don't get stuffed up & NEVER sniff IN, always blow OUT !!!
Sniffing in can cause a "Blown eardrum"
