My main MS symptom, the thing that is most impactful every day is imbalance/dizziness. The GP has suggested that I try Betahistine, 16mg 3 times a day, this has gone on for about 16 months and nothing the doctors have tried has had and impact. Previous Betahistine 8mg was prescribed, a year ago but it didn’t do anything to improve things. No one suggested increasing the dose. My question is, has anyone else found Betahistine impactful on dizziness and if so what strength was helpful? Thanks 🙂

Dizziness/vertigo?

Recently I started having what I’d call nystagmus episodes where my eyes go horizontally like crazy (fixable by fixating on my finger pretty quickly) or even today when I was on an appointment with my neuro just the act of laying back on the room bed thing was eno...

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.
