Balance problems

[Diana Sellin <Sellini4@xxxxxxx>]

Hello frieinds:
My name is Diana and I've only been on this list about a month. I'm 48 and
was diagnosed about 3 l/2 years ago.  My most severe problem at present is my
balance.  My neurologist recently had me add a blue Sinemet to my two
Sincemet CRs that I take daily along with 3 one milligram tablets of Mirapex.
 I have never had any tremor which leads my neuro to think I have an atypical
form of PD.
 I am so weary of falling and crashing into things in my home!  So far when
I'm out in public, I've been able to manage with the use of a walking stick.
However, last night, having come in from a neighborhood party, I find myself
starting to run in the house, almost out of necessity (which only other
Parkies I imagine can understand) and then when I tried to stop myself, I
crashed into a desk and my face hit a framed picture on the wall, leaving me
with a nice, swollen, bloody lip.   Sigh...so you see why I am tired of this.
 I'm still getting out and exercising and god knows, I try to stay
positive...but am wondering if anyone out there is experiencing the same kind
of problems.  Thanks,  Diana
