Extreme Clumsiness-Serious Replies Needed

Hi everyone,

I was never diagnosed with any neurological disorders as a child, I am, *I think I am, healthy.

I am here to talk about my extreme clumsiness. Only serious replies needed. I think I have something, but I don't even know how to approach a doctor about this- It's very easy to say YOU ARE CLUMSY. However, I am thinking it goes deeper than that. Can someone offer me some insight?

In the last 18 months, I have had many accidents *all my fault:

1) Drove into another car in traffic
2) Went skiing and fell on top of my friend who was skiing in front of me
3) crossed the street and got hit by a car
4) Fell down a flight of stairs
5) 4 months later, fell down another flight of stairs
6) Scratched the side of my car badly while in a parkade (against a wall)

As well, I am constantly walking into walls, while walking I walk into the people that are beside me *I actually collide into them. And I break a plate or glass at least once a week. In addition, I spill things on a daily basis *whatever I handle. And my sight is almost 20/20, I had it checked recently and I have reading glasses which aren't even necessary for me to use.

Someone, hopefully someone with a similar experience or medical background, let me know what you think.

 

The first couple examples sound like slow reactionary response.m the car scraping could be poor spatial awareness ( not everyone is good at parking that's for sure.). You haven't mentioned any dizziness, fatige or nausea. Are your pupils normal size?

Check out the Balance your Brain post I started on this forum. Some Brain Gym and tapping might be a first start.

 

Without knowing your medical history, it's hard to provide an opinion. Do you have a family doctor or walk in clinic that you can go to? That would be the proper route to getting this figured out. However, you may have to advocate for yourself as some physicians may just brush it off. Make it clear to the doctor that you are concerned about this and would like to find an answer.

Some things to think about:
As a child, were you developmentally delayed in any way? There's something called Developmental Coordination Disorder.
Is this clumsiness a recent change or have you always been uncoordinated?
Any neurological issues or brain injuries? Weakness, sensory, vision changes, headaches, head injury, recent infections etc.
Have you ever been diagnosed with ADHD or do you have features of ADHD? You don't have to be hyperactive to have ADHD. Some forms of ADHD are mainly inattentive which leads to being clumsy and accident prone.

Good luck.

 

... uh, you have a drug and/or alcohol problem?

 

I named extreme clumsiness syndrome, is very easy to control and it has a cure, take one aspirin a day but don't swallow it, put it in to your nose and balance the aspirin from your house to school and back, You will see how easy that clumsiness goes away in 5o years.

 

No alcohol, no drugs, balanced diet and exercise. No silly comments. Thanks for your opinions Flutterby and Milquetoast!

 

You don't have a clumsiness problem, You lose Your balance because of a problem in the middle ear and it can be Labyrinthitis. start by explaining Your Specialist what happened to You and take the list of accidents with You. Do You remember if You felt Vertigo when You felt?

 

Thanks Mr. Large, it's just too much and I knew deep down inside it had something to do with my sense of balance. I suffer from vertigo so you maybe going somewhere with this idea. Thank you, I am going to make an appointment with an otolaryngologist.

 

Let Us know what the specialist says, Good luck to You!
