Fall down with me and my HSP (hereditary spastic paraplegia)

[@ve4mm]

Do you drive a car? I have this condition and I drive my truck every day. No problem getting in and out. Also do exercise bike 20 minutes a day as well as treadmill. Keeps my heart in good shape. Stretch daily, core exercises, weekly massage, dry needling and cryo therapy at the hospital every 3 months. I have never fallen down. Stairs no problem. Have to keep positive. Managed to walk 10 steps for 3 days in July.

@@ve4mm yes, I drive. I like the elliptical and have a trike, but love the hand cycle because I can go so fast and am not worn out afterwards like I can be when I have a more leg focused workout. I just do massage once a month, but could definitely do it more often. How does dry needling and cryo help you? I’d love to know more! As for falling- I’ve been a frequent faller/tripper-over-my-own-two-feet-er since I was 12. It’s actually what lead us to know something was wrong with me. I like to say I’m a professional at it now.

Sorry! It always comes in three’s right?

@@PinkandPossible yes! Thankfully I got them all in at once!

Falling down is serious to most people. Hopefully, you will never understand.
