I'd just like to inform anyone who is suffering from a balance problem that they could be exhibiting symptoms of variant CJD (the human form of mad cow disease) if they have eaten a beef product in the UK in the last twenty years. It is therefore imperitive that, if you experiencing symptoms of balance disfunction, tingling/twitching/pins and needles in the arms of legs, you get an MRI scan immediately in order to confirm that you are not a vCJD suffrer. If you are, you will die within two years due to progressive brain degeneration.
