Living with hemi-dystonia

I went to 3 different neurologists - one thought I had MS - one thought I had Lou Gehrigs disease and then finally was unofficially diagnosed with hemi-dystonia. I had MRI’s, spinal taps, many, many blood tests, etc. I lost my hudband to Lou Gehrig’s disease and now only have Medicare (I am only 53 years old). I lost my job and now I am basically housebound. I think i am becoming immune to the medication I am taking. My neurologidt quit - so I luckily got the neurologist my husband had so she knows all about what I have. My question is - has anybdy become unsteady on there feet? Have you fallen because of it? Is there anything to do for this? Please HELP!!!!!!
