Members overwhelmingly confirmed experiencing balance issues that make them feel drunk or unsteady, often swaying side to side, walking into walls, or veering unexpectedly while walking, with many noting the problem worsens when tired or during flares. Several members shared practical strategies that have helped, including daily balance and stretching exercises, using a cane or walker when needed, wearing Vibram toe shoes for stability, trying the Melt Method to restore center of gravity, and sitting down immediately when imbalance strikes to prevent falls. A recurring theme was the importance of reporting symptoms to doctors, ruling out other causes like inner ear issues or vitamin B1 deficiency, and giving yourself permission to use mobility aids without shame while being gentle with your body on difficult days.
