Guest guest Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Hi There is a drug being used now to help with walking. I just can't think of the name of that drug! I know Dan is on it so perhaps he'll see this and give us the name. There is also a thing that some people wear (one name is Walk Aid) that helps with walking.Balance trouble is a tough one to deal with, isn't it? I hate the "walking drunk" feeling. hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.
