Yes, and as I look back at my previous post, it was exactly the same as this.  The first one was almost two years ago.  With a real issue, I think it would have been obvious by now to people.  Instead, when I relax and ignore it, it goes away.  I am working to relax my mind about it and let it go as I did the last few times this has come up.  Thanks, Ironman!

I have been having similar issues at times.  I think it is just stress and feeling distracted.  When you are stressed, anxiety can be easily triggered.  We are more sensitive to anxiety triggers!

Kind of out of no where over the last few weeks these fears over small short term memory misses have crept back into my mind to where I can't help but focus on every time I miss something small. The last time I really had this come on strong was August 2024. It all but vanished for the most part this last year. Little times here and there that made me think about it but I let it go quickly. I had my annual last week and she asked me if I had any dementia worries. I had never been asked that by a doctor but sadly was right in the beginning of a fresh anxiety spike of fearing it again. I am really trying to believe it's anxiety again. I feel like it would be far worse and wouldn't have vanished for so long if it had truly started a year ago. I was okay yesterday and started to calm down and let it go and then this morning another small thing with work happened. Something small but forgetting I sent a message to a co-worker, telling others I hadn't don it, and then realizing I had. To be fair, it was a quick follow up and he never answered until much later, so I think I just didn't think much of sending it. But you would think I would remember having sent that small question when someone asked me if I had. Little things but they spike that anxiety bug telling me something is clearly wrong! I don't usually find myself struggling to this degree these days. But this one has caught me off guard.

Yeah, I have fallen like this.  I wasn't aware of my surroundings.   Are you sure that what happened in ALS?  Things like this happen to be people pretty often.

I've been battling it for a few months now. Really sucks because I thought I was past this one.Yesterday I fell off my back porch. I was carrying some very light boxes out back, one in each hand, and when I stepped my right foot down (there's about a half step height between my doorway and porch) as soon as it hit the porch I pitched over and fell. I think I recall my ankle rolling as it hit the porch, which my ankles are prone to, and I think I may have stepped with my foot partially on this thick plastic rug we have. The rug is about an inch in height so my foot may have been even more uneven.Either way, I ate ****, HARD. Skinned that leg up, landed on my wrist on one side and elbow on the other.I'm afraid this is due to some weakness. Later that night that same right foot kind dragged the ground at the tip for one step. Then it did it again just now while barefoot. Freaks me out that it's done that both with and without shoe now. Now that right leg is twitching all over.I've been terrified this is somehow the start of the end for me, and just about everything I see with any emotional content has been bringing me to tears.Have any of you ever fell before without a very good explanation? Ever had the tip of a foot feel like it drug the ground for a bit during a step?
