When I tried to get back into drumming I noticed that I literally felt like I was going to fall off the throne to my left. The floor was level so I bought a roc-n-soc, no help. No balance really doesn't help drumming.
I saw my doc the other day and he said I was listing to the left. From the waist up I was leaning. He referred me to a neurologist and I will have an MRI of my brain in two days. Of the things that could cause this none are good...MS, Parkinson's, brain lesions.
But I did some homework and found that this can be a condition caused by a long term med I have been on. It's called the Pisa Syndrome(after the Leaning tower of...) Withdrawing the med can make it go away, if not, they always have another pill.
I was getting my hair cut a few months ago and she turned away from me to get other scissors, whatever, when she turned back to me she said, whoa come back. I was leaning way to the left but didn't notice it at all.
As if that isn't enough, I'm on disability and as of 10/1 I have no insurance and not a prayer of getting any for months and even then it will suck.
Pray to Buddy, I need all the help I can get.
I'll let y'all know what this is in a few weeks.
ps..I'm leaning to the left over the arm of my chair as I type with my right hand.
