What time I fell with My Epilepsy was whether it was after a big seizure or got overdosed on medication
You might want to consider something like a wheelchair if you have that happen quite often. I experience fatigue and weakness in my legs. As well as coordination. It scares the hell out of me on what might happen if I’m away from home.
I fall a lot. I assume that it is dyspraxia secondary to the autism spectrum disorder. The last time it happened was in late July, when I was running across the street. When I stood up I knew it was more than road rash. I walked to the ER, where they did some xrays and told me that I had fractured my right elbow and left wrist. I had a problem with the bandaging so 2 weeks later I went to a second ER so they could reset them if needed. Interestingly UMC (ER) saw no fractures at all. An orthopedist later told me that I only had a hairline fracture of the elbow. The hand surgeon said that I only had a sprained wrist.
So I fall so much, usually in the street because one had better rush while jaywalkin ('jayrunning' in my case) I try to cover for it so I don't have to embarrass myself. Another reason that I fall is that I don't always watch in front of me, but the sidewalk is rarely flat. Of course I always fall when I have seizures. Maybe I am just clumsy.
I have fallen as well when I have lost my balance while walking.
Unfortunately, the floor won.... 😆 lol
