IOh yes, right with you ladies on all of that. I always touch something when
I'm standing too, Janice. And Barb, for heavens sake. How in the world could
you stand on a pillow with your eyes closed and lean in any direction. You are
one brave woman. I also cannot close my eyes and have any balance - and I get
a "panic" feeling when the power has gone out due to a storm and my house is
completely dark. I lose all perception. We TMers are different in some ways
and yet so much alike in other ways.

Barb, I am exactly the same way with balance. I didn't realize it until I
read what you said. I always touch something when
standing, etc. Doesn't take much, but I seem to need it too. Janice

Yes, that's one of my continuing problems. My balance is worse when
standing still (even with eyes open) than walking, though I sometimes lose
balance while walking, too.
When I was taking physical therapy, my PT had a name for that, but I
don't remember what it was. She had me stand on a pillow with my eyes closed
and lean as far as I could in one direction and then another while she stood by
to catch me if I fell (don't try this at home alone!!!)
It's improved, but it is still a factor. Sometimes at church a larger
group will be singing across on stage just holding their music, and I think, I
could never do that! I ended up leaving choir because I felt like I couldn't
keep my balance. Having some reference point helps -- the back of my legs
touching a chair or just touching a table or the wall. I don't need to hold on
to or lean on something, usually -- just have something to touch.
