Hey Bad Day- happy new Year! Haven't talked to you yet.

I too am clumsy and especially in the hand department. Sometimes that's how I know my hands are stiff when I don't see swelling. I can go to pick up a pencil and throw it clear across the room instead LOL. I can trip over absolutely nothing when I'm walking. If I do this in public I always turn around and frown at the ground like who the hell put that there for me to trip over....

i drop everything i pick up and i look like i'm drunk when i walk. i get embarrassed in public, lol. i always have a dizzy feeling too. plaquenil damaged my eyes, so that might be part of it, along with the swelling and stiffness of my joints. i'm not able to walk normal with this in my knees.

You are not alone, I fall, drop and run into things all the time.

Having RA makes me feel like a kindergardner again. lol
