Hi friends. I am 68 and was diagnosed five years ago. Very fortunate to have an amazinge neurologist at the University of Pennsylvania. I do plasma pheresis (exchange) every 3 weeks and it is working great for me. I started at 6 weeks, then went to 5, now 3. In a month I am going to push it back to 4 weeks. Anyway…There are times when I am walking that I am sure people must think I am tipsy. I list to the left and some times my left foot will drop and I have a small trip. If I am rested, I have no symptoms. I have always walked fast (long legs) and remain fit. I have not fallen, but there are times when I am walking a long distance alone that I do worry about that. My husband is usually my guide when walking. I just follow his lead. I am having an MRI of the brain soon, and wonder if that will show anything. I agree that exercise helps and resting a little before I head out. Onward!
