[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 97644, member: 84"] Susie Maybe Jess has hit that gangly age where their arms and legs don't quite do what they want them to do? I vaguely recall a few friends as a kid who had the problem when they did a huge growth spurt right about her age. A child who was never clumsy and was suddenly falling ALOT would worry me, especially if I couldn't find a logical reason. Now, Travis was never graceful. He could trip over his own toes walking down the sidewalk and often did. But at about 13-14 I saw his "normal" clumsiness develope into outragious clumsiness overnight. He not only tripped and fell more often, even if there was nothing to trip over. He constantly crashed his bike, walked into walls, crashed into people.... Finally I couldn't stand it and got him back to the neuro. Neuro did a MRI to be safe along with the EEG. Turned out his medications needed a serious increase. I don't recall whether it was hormone related or if his body had just grown used to the medication to the point it wasn't working well for him anymore. Hugs [/QUOTE]
