I tried Lyrica for 3 days and had to be taken off of it. While I was almost pain-free and slept well while on it I found that it sent me spinning! I am dizzy frequently but the Lyrica made it almost...
I am usually not in this forum either as I have fibromyalgia and symptoms nearly exactly like the original poster's but I have been undiagnosed. I have been dizzy nearly constantly for the past 5...
I should clarify that when I passed out it was about 9 pm so my husband wasn't sure what to do and decided to "let me sleep". In hindsight he is kicking himself for not calling 911. :eyes: There is...
My Doctor didn't say much except to stop taking the Lyrica. He then set up the appointment with the MS Specialist for me. Right now I am not taking anything for pain; just Melatonin to help me sleep...
Today I had an odd episode and am not sure whether it is unusual or not for someone with MS. To make a long story short I was outside gardening and over did it. I had trouble walking to the house as...
My Dr put me on Lyrica for pain and it caused extreme dizziness; even worse than what I typically experience. Two days after starting the Lyrica I passed out on the way home from the store and ended...
Sorry to hear about your fall but I'm glad that you are okay! I would also be interested to suggestions as I have had similar problems and similar falls. For some reason my feet don't always want to...
I have not been diagnosed and also have a lot of dizziness and unbalance. My MRI (of my brain) came back normal but my Doctor still said that he thinks I have MS and is sending me to a neurologist...
I am also going to look into getting some pamphlets, thanks for the suggestion as it will help many of us. :-) My mother-in-law truly does not understand and even stated that she "Would hate to see...
Thank you for your replies! Sometimes it is nice to know that this is a typical MS symptom and that I am not losing my marbles. While I wouldn't wish these symptoms upon anyone it is also a bit...
I have been experiencing a lot of tingling and numbness mainly in my left arm and left leg. Occassionally (a few times a week) it will occur in both sides but most of the time it is the left. Is...
I have been getting this feeling in my hands and feet and it's enough to drive one batty! I sympathize with those who have been dealing with this for years. I am also interested in any advice to...
In the past few weeks I have noticed a significant increase in the frequency and intensity of the Paraesthesia, especially in my arms and legs. It has been keeping me up and/or waking me up at night...
Thanks again for the advice and the tips. I would love to work and am not intimidated but at this stage there are days when I simply need to lie down and cannot see straight enough to walk far. The...
If you have any advice on living with the vertigo then I'd be grateful. The main thing for me is learning my limitations. Unfortunately I learned the hard way as I tend to be a bit stubborn as I...
I want to start by thanking everyone for participating in this forum. This is my first post but I have gotten a lot of great information out of lurking for the past few weeks. I have been plagued...
