Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers, I'll see if I can explain what's going on and hopefully won't get chastised for being off-topic.

Back in Dec of 2013 I believe I had a stroke, one day I was fine, I woke up the next morning unable to keep my balance. This has gotten progressively worse over the past 2 1/2+yrs to where even if I'm just standing in one place I'll just suddenly start to fall.

I've had a constant headache since Feb of this year. No drug of any kind will help it. At times it just 'lurks' in the background but more often now it's in the forefront and hurts like heck.

In the past month or so I've started getting dizzy spells for instance just standing or sitting my head will begin to swirl only lasting a few seconds luckily.

Over the past couple of months my legs have begun to shake uncontrollably whenever my toes are bent downwards and I have to let it run it's course. When I saw my VA Neurologist back on the 8th he said it appears to be something called Clonus - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... and I also have what is called Hyperreflexia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... You know when the Dr. taps your knee with the little hammer and your legs go outwards a bit? Well with me my legs go way out in fact they go above the horizontal a bit.

All of these issues need an MRI to confirm/deny their existence however I have two implants in my back for pain which prevent this. Luckily once they're removed I can get the MRI so towards the end of next month I'm going back to see the Neurosurgeon who put them in to get them removed.

So my friends, in a nutshell that's what's going on with me.
