Guest guest Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 , I had another thought which I missed. A healthy person will walk on a wall of, say, a foot in breadth as long as the height of the wall is not too high. As the height increases one gets less and less sure of oneself. After a particular height one will get jitters - call it panic, & one's legs won't move (Scarred stiff) & if one persists one will fall (Faint?) For normal people I think this height is some 10 feet or so,- for me it was-- when I was normal. But the height at which jitters start depends on the individuals muscular flexibility. My theory is that PLSers with stiffness feel the jitters at the floor level itself. I would suggest to you to get a Dolomite walker early, avoid falls & increase your independence.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Great word picture Jagan! Thanks. I do have a walker, I have just refused to use it but am about to break down and get it out since all my " helpers " (husband and kids) are about to go back to work and school Monday.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 That hasn't been my experience. I know you can take someone who is terrified of heights (me) and teach them to overcome the fear that might make them scared stiff or something like that. But try as I might I cannot " will " my way out of this stuff. I think one is psychological, while the other (PLS) is pathological. >, >I had another thought which I missed. >A healthy person will walk on a wall of, say, a foot in breadth as long as >the height of the wall is not too high. >As the height increases one gets less and less sure of oneself.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Use the walker for sure !! I started using it outside the home about 2 years and the joy of the independence it brought me is wonderful. I can put it in and out of the car myself and take off whenever I want to. I dont need to depend on others to get me places anymore.
