Howdy Nigel Sory to hear about ee falling. It's a really sscary feeling. I sometimes have had trouble with my balance when i try to get up ttoo fast. That causes me to lean forward, and pretty soon I'm literally runnning to a fall. My Doc, recomends geting up in stages, with stops in between. I have my own theory... most of the drugs i take (Requip, sinemet, comtan, amantadine plus 5 other :non-Parkie drugs) list dizziness or a "blood pressure crash" (my terminology) as a symtom/side effect. Maybe you just need to have your medicines adjusted. Good luck!
