I fell today. has anyone?

[Guest guest]

     I got up from my chair and took 3 steps and lost control of my legs and

just went down, I did not get hurt. This has me concerned, this is a new symptom

and I'm not sure what is going on. I will be walking or just standing and I get

a sensation in my lower or mid back and then it is like I lose control of the

muscles in my legs, almost like someone flips a power switch to the off position

for a split second. Usually I have a cane and am able to not fall, I feel like I

am walking like a drunkard lol. has anyone had this happen? I have an

appointment with my primary Dr. to get an MRI referral tomorrow at 5:00pm. Then

see my neurosurgeon and hopefully get an answer. In the last 3 yrs I have fallen

down my stairs 3 times, always when I first wake up and for the grace of God

have only gotten a bruise or two. I just thought it was because I was half

asleep but I am now thinking it may be something Else. could RA do this????  I

have so many questions

and don't even know where to start, like meds? what works and what don't? What

foods are good or bad? I  was diagnosed late last summer so I don't know much at

all so I feel very ignorant plus I have other dx's too.
