Re: Vision Problems>

,

I have always walked with my head up straight and a very straight

posture until I lost my normal walk all together. I have noticed that

I no longer walk straight, I no longer walk with my head up but down

like I have to watch every step I take. I only look up at times to

get my bearings to where I am and then I look back down. I have tried

to stop that but can't. I definetly do not walk in a straight line! I

would not pass a drunk test for sure! I also wondered how many with

MSA or similar diseases have a problem like I do with speech? There

are times or when I try very hard to speak that I might sound a

little clearer, especially if I talk real slow to enunciate my words.

The more tired I become the worse my speech becomes. As far as

everything else it takes me forever to do what I use to do in no time

at all. This can be quite aggrivating but I am learning to live with

it and keep doing the best I can. I am so afraid to stop.

Love and God bless,

Belinda
