Sudden Clumsiness???

Post Reply New Topic

tell me does this make sense to anyone?

Ok So I played little league Baseball and Basketball for a number of years. It was a real hit or miss kind of thing. I couldnt throw the ball very well (accurate + speed). Alot of the time I completely missed where I was throwing it to by a wayyy off. And then the other half of the time I was able to do alright although batting was also tough for me I never did that well in that either.

Now I like to think that my motor skills (hand + eye) physical coordination is good, but it just isnt.

Nomatter what I do or what sport it seems like ALL of the sudden Ill just screw up really bad. Like I used to have a really good shot in basketball but now its like when i play it I can make 5 in a row including a few really "odd" shots that have people raising their eyebrows............. and then ALL OF THE SUDDEN ILL SHOOT THE WORST AIRBALL SHOT POSSIBLE. It really doesnt make sense. I also tend to miss alot of easy layups and other really "soft" touch shots.

I really really really have to try super super super hard not to be clumsy. I think I could do pretty good at most sports if I practiced them enough, but it seems like I always suddenly goof up and make a terrible blunder from sudden uncontrollable clumsiness can anybody relate?

Nervousness alone might account for some of that. I know that when I get overtired, I lose all coordination.

About 15 years ago I used to have bouts of ringing and/or noise in my head. Medical tests showed nothing conclusive. Eventually after experiencing horrendous, incapacitating bouts of vertigo, I found a doc who did an involved evaluation & told me that the parts of my brain what are responsible for sight, hearing & balance don't always communicate the way they are supposed to. Around the same time, I was also diagnosed with depression. Apparently I have a chemical imbalance in my brain. My doctor rescribed Celexa. This is a slective Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitor that makes up for the Serotonin my brain is supposed to produce but doesn't iDK if this is a syptom of AS, or another medical condition.
