Neuropathy/RLS; walking seems bouncy

I am 75 and have been suffering with restless leg syndrome about 2 years. It is relieved by taking Mirapex, nortrytoline and folic acid, all prescribed by my neurologist. (I hope this information may help you). However another symtom [symptom] is bouncy-feeling walk and balance. If you can share with me concerning a “different” walking sensation, I would appreciate it.

I wish someone would share with me about a strangeness felt when walking, like bouncy or not smooth and also lessening balance. I am wondering if there are exercises which may help, if you know of any, please share. Thanks.

He was treated with Periactin 4 mgs once a day at bedtime. His medication was revised often at this time. When he turned 11 he was no longer throwing up regularly, but was having head migraines and missing a lot of school. [more..]

    I had an accident last 6Sep2003 which left me deaf and disabled. I think a brain trauma resulted in having to suffer what the doctor in the Philippines termed as Myoclonus where I could not control my right body particularly my right hand. While I could control my left hand, not so much the tips of my fingers that’s why I eat like a pig with my left hand. [more..]
