I had vertigo last week for 2 days. I woke up in the middle of the night and the room was spinning. I got up the next morning and bent over and fell b/c the room was spinning. OMG that is a horrible feeling.

I fainted once in the book store and when I come from down low to standing I often get light headed. It happened more when I was on provigil and a med that I can't recall. I am no longer taking either because I felt anxious and had high bp. Besides that no trouble. Do you think it is related to meds?

I have no clue how to explain it, but just off is a good way to put it. Not so much disconnected off, but just off. I do, but I can't find the right way to put it. I almost feel like I am going at an angle sometimes, not exactly like I would fall over, but some kind of way just not right. I don't know how to exlain it, sorry. But the answer is yes.

I too experience being "off" or like I'm "swimming" as you describe. It is hard to explain. My eye sight is off too, where I'm blurred and see doubles sometimes - that doesn't help. Yes, I guess it all related to the damn MS! Oh, I'm a smoker and smoking makes it worse. Does anyone else notice smoking makes it worse?

I get this feeling in my head, but usually only when I am sitting down. My head feels really light and everything is spinning, I am just happy that I am sitting when this happens because I know other people who have this standing.
