RE: Re: Fell on my face/Karla

Yeah, it sure caused more pain because like you, I twisted my back and

either pulled a muscle or bruised it. It's been over a week now and my eye

is still swollen and very colorful. It's now turning that awful yellow and

green color, except it on the bone where I really smashed it.

I have some permanent damage from being so malnourished the past few years

and from the blackouts I had before. That is pretty much why I have lousy

balance. oh, and the fact that I can't feel my feet from neuropathy.

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..

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.
