Push-ups already gone again and balance issues resurface

Well, this was a very short-lived improvement as these things go.  Just now, I tried again to see if my strength was still at the level it had been when I wrote last. Nope.  I already could tell prior to the attempt that my strength was not there. I was shaky again. That seems to be the key here. If your muscles feel shaky just existing, it is not likely that they will have the extra required to do heavier exercise.  Back to a shaky 3 on this attempt then.

What else is in the mix? Well, through the last few years I have had episodes of dizziness, and vertigo associated with Nystigmus.  Generally, this is confined to nights in bed- specifically getting out or into bed.  Lying down is worse than getting up. But I have a bit of trouble walking straight after I feel I am OK to stand.  Lying back down can be quite exciting as well, and I am thankful that at these times, I have no place to fall to.

I see that I am not alone in issues related to balance.  It is a known that HNA sufferers particularly do have problems with the inner ear and hearing.  Again, it is listed as “rare”.  And again, I just hope that my doctors have not missed something I will eventually have worse problems with.
