I get that feeling frequently..It seems to be worse when I wake up in the morning,my neck is stiff and in pain..the pain goes down my left shoulder and arm..doc did mri of my brain and inner ear which came back normal.except for changes in my brain due to migraines.So he couldnt find anything to explain why I get dizzy and nauseous..very frustrating.

I have that, too, Shirley. Mine will just hit me at odd times of the day. Sometimes it's a lightheaded feeling, other times it's more of a dizziness. Either way, it's no fun!

Take care.

I have always had this due to migraines (which apparently a lot of people with fibro have). Do you always have a headache with the dizziness? Or do you get the dizziness just prior to and during headaches?

Migraines might be something to talk to your doc about. If it is migraines, migraine medicine has advanced tremendously.

No point in suffering more than we have to.

Take care! I hope you feel better quickly!

I also get very dizzy too depending on the pain. According to my physical therapist (& it's been a year so hopefully I want screw this up too bad), there is a vein in the side of your neck that when pressed can cause dizziness (I almost fell off the table & I was lying down). Once the pain in my neck was under control so was the dizziness. Of course now it's come back. My bed is really close to the wall which works great when I get up to pee

Yep I also have those dizzy spells too. My balance is really off most of the time. Doc gave me antivert, and it helps some but it makes me so sleepy that I can only take it if I go to bed shorty afterward. Obviously not very practical.

Take Care, Dawn

HI Shirley,

Me too, and it is so frustrating.

Sending you some caring positive thoughts.
Gentle hugs,

Yuk, I don't like vertigo. I have been having vertigo again, what use to work didn't work. I talked to my pharmicist and now use motion eaze. I admit I didn't think it would work, but it did. I hope you have something that helps you too. Be careful, I have had alot of falls from vertigo.

THANK YOU ALL IT SOUNDS ABOUT THE SAME AND I DO GET MIGRAINES, THANK YOU I DO NOT FEEL SO ALONE,HUGS TO ALL

My dizziness is associated w/ a med, but mostly with low blood pressure and/or my occasional low blood sugar. The med just exaggerates this.

Resting or stationary standing causes blood pressure to drop, so often there is a need to get up carefully. In stores I can't stand and look at stuff for more than a few seconds without having something to lean on. I have switched to mostly internet shopping.

Sorry you deal w/ dizziness too.
