I am always tired, even after sleep (I sleep well). My balance is getting progressively worse and I use a walker all the time. My left side is getting progressively worse=quickly. I had a stroke 12 years ago, but recovered well. Lately everything is going downhill. I am 77 years old. Before my stroke I was very fit and active.

You may be suffering from gait distrubence it may be due to cerebellar infract the side which your swaying or posterior column spinal cord problems or muscular or vestibular problem. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Don't walk lonely, do regular physical or vestibular exercises. Use multivitamin and b12 injections, continue anti platelet medication. If symptoms not improved please consult your neurophysician/ENT specialist they will examine and treat you accordingly.
