Guest guest Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Tigger, You need to go to Staples and get some bubble wrap and wrap yourself in it. You also need a football helmet. When I was a kid we put foam on all the kitchen cabinets because my mother kept crashing into them. She doesn't do that anymore but mabe it's because we don't distract her anymore now that we are adults. I'm getting very tired of being sick. This is the 3rd week I've been sick in bed. Every time I think I'm getting better, I run an errand and end up sick in bed for an other week.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Gosh - I'm sorry to hear you are bruised mysteriously. Hope you figure it out with your doc. I wonder if you sleep walk? Seems like you'd wake up if you hurt yourself, though. Hope you feel better soon. Take care.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I am so sorry Tigger. I hate to hear that. Please take good care. I too have issues with balance and falling. my puppy jumped on me the other day and I fell back onto the cement on the porch. I am always bruised too from running into things. Feel better. https://www.iamshaman.net/affiliatewiz/aw.aspx?A=317 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel better. , are you using a cane for balance? When I was SMO, with really bad knees, I was so afraid of falling. I used a cane as much for balance as anything. It was just an extra thing there that I could count on in case I stumbled. Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I fell off my porch Wed am trying to get to work. I got a busted knee and bruised wrist and my pride was all over the grass. I just fall now...don't know why or when but it happens. I am not sure whether I get in a hurry and trip over myself or what but I guess its just part of it. --------------------------------- Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your homepage.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 I'm so sorry you fell. I do the same thing now. I wonder if the fibro affects our balance somehow. I used to be so coordinated, but not anymore. If I lean a little I'm gone. Take care of yourself, Marti judi bailey wrote: I fell off my porch Wed am trying to get to work.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Granted my balance isn't good and that's why I use a cane when I go out, but this all seemed to happen while I was sleeping. I went to bed fine and woke up looking like (and feeling like) I'd been beaten with a stick. I live alone and have absolutely no recollection of getting out of bed, falling, getting up and then getting back into bed. I cry every time I look in the mirror and as we all know it looks worse before it starts to get better. My back is all twisted up too. I just want to curl up in bed and give up.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 I'm so sorry this happened to you. It must be scary. I live alone too and having something like that happen in my sleep or at least partially asleep and not remembering it would be scary to me. I get afraid of falling down the stairs because they are close to my bedroom door. I close the door from my bedroom to the hall at night and my bathroom is in there too. That way I would be hard pressed to actually fall down the stairs. I hope you get a good night's sleep tonight and stay in the bed.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 I feel that way about my basement stairs. When you come in my back door, which is the only one I use, the basement stairs are right there. When I was unconscious last year I must have fallen off the couch after my brother went to get help and in my unconscious world I was falling down the basement stairs. I've been so afraid of them since then. It's just so weird to go to bed fine and wake up and having been hit with an ugly stick. I've been on the heating pad all day because my back hurts so much. I think I pull a muscle. I don't know for sure, but there is a scrape there. Maybe I'm more fun when I'm asleep. Oh, that's so sad because I live alone.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 I am so sorry to hear you fell Tigger. My best feel better vibes sent your way. Are you a sleep walker like me? I do alot of bumping in the night. Maybe light the way with night lights to the bathroom and it may wake you more. Be careful, I worry bout you.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Yikes! Are you ok? I hope your not in more pain..You know, I just fell on my face the other day too..I felt so stupid, and really angry too..I was lucky (I guess..lol) and fell IN the house as I was coming in..Nobody home of course and I hurt my knee, ankle, head and neck (whiplash..lol) and twisted my back..Boy was I sore for a few days.. You know, I lose my balance A LOT and I just never connected it to fibro. Does this happen a lot to people with FM? I have fallen outside before a couple of times as well and man that was scary... I hope you are doing ok.. Karla in WA -------Original Message------- I fell off my porch Wed am trying to get to work. I got a busted knee and bruised wrist and my pride was all over the grass.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Don't you dare give up, Tigger!! You should talk to your doc about possible sleep walking, and if there's anything that can be done. It's pretty serious that you don't remember it happening at all. Maybe you need a sleep study done? Of course, there's no guarantee you'd go on one of your night wanderings then. Anyhow, we love you and would miss you too much if you weren't around. So NO GIVING UP!!!!

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Well I think falling does come with fibro as I seem to be on my face or behind several times a week. Benn doing it for a long time. Still have a hugh bruise on the upper part of my leg from one fall 2 months ago. Must have done something to the muscle. Still sore to touch too. But then what's one more pain. lol. God bless. Little LINDA --------------------------------- Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile. Try it now.
