Suggest Remedy For Loss Of Balance And Coordination In Legs

In the past few months I have begun to notice that my legs don t seem to want to go where I want them to go...I can close my eyes and suddenly find my balance has disappeared. I am starting to weave unsteadily when I am not moving...the symptoms seem to disappear whenever I reach out and place my hand on a solid object. Altho I am active (somewhat) I don t seem to have the strength in my legs that I used to have only several years ago. I am 68 years old and spent my career as a lineman for the phone company. I have a friend who says his brother has something like this and is doctoring for something called PSP?
