Is Frequently Falling A Symptom Of Multiple Sclerosis?

my sister is a retired RN and begged me to go to your website and type in frequent falls since I have now fallen 6 times in the past 5 months. She is worried about MS as our grandmother died from it. I had heard that only 10% of all cases of ALS are hereditary and that s what my mom said grandma died from though MS was what was on her death certificate. Anyway ... I don t think I have any other symptoms other than falling. I think what I have is K.L.U.T.Z.
