I know that I have a balance issue, however, I feel like the elevator really throws me off!! I have to lean against the wall or hold on to the bar (if there is one) while riding the elevator! It's almost easier to climb the stairs!! Does anyone else have this experience during elevator rides? or is it just me?

same thing on elevators.
As a general excuse I say I can feel the earth;s rotation and it makes me lose my balance

I have terrible balance... elevators and escalators really throw it off..

deleted_user 07/23/2007

I don't notice it with elevators, but I haven't been able to ride an escalator for years -- messed with my eyes/head to the point that I would fall forward. Not fun!

Not elevators, but believe it or not, all I have to do is look up at a high building and get dizzy! I can't ride escalators either or ride a bike (I can ride but don't feel safe). I also get a sort of dizzy, off balance feeling when driving over a bridge in the car. Anyone else have bridge issues?

Oddly enough, flying is OK, well at least it was.

My luck I would grab the guy...He would grab the really goodlooking size 00 (what is that is that like they are not there?) broad who would break her Jimmy Choo's stilletto's and they would hobble off to Vegas together....

Oh Yea, I get dizzy on all moving objects. Elevators included.

Elevators don't usually upset my balance, I find the escalators are becoming really tough. It reminds me of when the kids were really little and I was teaching them how to get on the escalator. I have to stop and think when getting on the damn things!

I never used to have this problem, but OMG.. the past year, it's been crazy! I even get that quezy feeling from it!!!! I also found that I cannot do swings at all - they make me feel so off balanced like I am going to fall and sick to my tummy!!!

Balance is a give problem for me. In my workout I try to work on it.

tsdanir 07/30/2007

i do get motion sickness.... especially in the car, if i'm not driving!

Rbear66 07/30/2007

I get motion sick if I am not driving, and I look down to read a book or something. didnt have this problem till a few years ago. Never have been able to swing very high on a swing, when I was little my doctor said it was an inner ear problem.
