Anyone ever get Vertigo on top of fibro? It has been a fun week since it started Sunday morning spinning and nausea. Doc said I had redness in one ear. Put me on Antibiotic. Weird thing is the vertigo felt really bad laying down, which I do for 8-10 hours a day, especially when I turn my head laying down. Sitting also didn't feel good Standing I just feel a little wobbly. The first day was pure torture in any position.
I decided to do some neck stretching exercises today and it's really seems to be helping. I'm laying down and feeling stable. Either the antibiotics are working because I have an ear infection that almost never happens or the the neck exercises happen to be working. This is the second time I've gotten Vertigo within 3 years. It's the first time it ever lasted more than 1 day.
Anyone else have experience with Vertigo? It makes a lovely combination with the the daily Fibro pain and anxiety.

I assume this is the fibromyalgia. I just had TMJ surgery which I'm hoping may help.
It can just be a part of fibromyalgia, so just take it easy.
Recently, if I move my eyes or head quick I get a brief period of dizziness. It feels like I will tip over.
I hope the vertigo goes away soon. It isn't good on our other joints when we list!
I have prednisone for my autoimmune disease, and it really helps! That tells me that inflammation plays a part in it. I hope you get to feeling better very soon. I know how awful it is. I've read that there are some exercises you can do that involve hanging your head over the side if the bed. It somehow changes crystals in your inner ear. You might google that and see.
Interesting was during the vertigo episodes my usual fibro pain eased up. As soon as the vertigo ceased to be a problem my usual pain came back.
I guess it's all about trading one pain for another.
