Have you been drinking, or is it just your LEMS walk?
Good morning all!
@pricewool and I have talked frequently about our LEMS walk.
It’s the walk some of us always have, while some of us are lucky enough to only experience it when symptoms are flaring.
I describe my LEMS walk as a stumble, and sometimes even a waddle. I find myself repeatedly tripping over my own feet. It’s like my feet don’t go as fast as my brain and sometimes that causes me to trip, although usually, I catch myself before I fall. For me, this problem is the greatest the week before I receive my IVIG treatments but still happens a few times a day.
How would you describe your LEMS walk?
Do you experience your LEMS walking intermittently or do you feel it’s constant?
Sometimes others that don’t know us may take our “LEMS walk” to be intoxication or inebriation.
Have you ever been accused of being inebriated due to the way you walk or fall on the ground?
Have the police been called on you because someone thought you were on drugs or drunk?
