• Falling

  If I did get to fall asleep I'd wake up and smell smoke, panic and have to go check around the house to make sure everybody was safe. This has been going on for over a year now. On May 11, 2015 the Dr. [cancercompass.com]

  Inquire about ‘negative’ symptoms such as numbness, clumsiness, orthostasis, weakness, falls, stumbling or gait abnormalities. [clinicaladvisor.com]

  Lack of muscle control and decreased sensation can increase the risk of falls or other injuries. If you have movement difficulties, these measures can help keep you safe: Leave lights on. [medlineplus.gov]

  It usually affects patients younger than four years of age, and presents with sudden development of staggering and falling (ataxia) often followed by body jerks, drooling, refusal to walk or sit, opsoclonus, irritability and sleep disburbances. [rarediseases.org]

Unlike other types of pain syndromes, PEN/SN is not due to the effects of the tumor itself, metastasis, treatment, infection, or metabolic abnormalities. [practicalpainmanagement.com]
