Dizziness

Does anyone else get random dizzy spells? I’ve noticed if I don’t have enough water and electrolytes I get dizzy smells. They are very short but intense. I didn’t know if anybody else experiences this??

Dizziness

I woke up this morning, went to stand up only to experience the room spinning and feeling off kilter. Since then the room spins again when I blink, move my head a certain way or close my eyes just for a second. Feel awfully light headed too. I guess it's going to be one of those days. 😔

Dizziness

Hey everyone. New to this. But I’m just wondering if anyone goes dizzy when laying flat? This is so bad to the point that when I go for mri scans I’m worrying that it’s going to make me sick. I also can’t sleep without a memory foam pillow, but found just lately that that’s now becoming too hard ...

Pain or dizziness

Hi guys, anyone else have pain or dizziness but never both at once? I’ve had MS for years but it’s only in the last 2 that my symptoms have got worse and don’t seem to go away. I blame the menopause! Anyway, most of my scarring is in my neck/ upper thoracic and this is why I guess I have these parti...

Dizziness & walking aids

Hi all, wondering if a walking stick would help with my dizziness when walking? Would it help stabilise me or hinder me? What do I do and how do I go about it? Not sure if I’m just over thinking. Thanks

Dizziness

Just wondering if and how anyone is affected by dizziness or lightheadedness etc on a daily basis. How would you describe it? I have felt like I'm on a boat in a storm for 3 years now. I would describe it as a cocktail of dizziness, feeling unsteady, fuzzy headed and a sensation of movement or swa...

Dizziness

I feel so so down I haven’t been out in 2 weeks the dizziness is just too much. I have my second infusion of ocrevus on the 24th of this month. I feel I’m being defeated and at this moment in time I’m sick of life 😢
