Guest guest Posted February 21, 2001 Report Share Posted February 21, 2001 Oh good! At least you know there is something that helps you. I have a friend who is off work on disability bcs she is extremely dizzy. The docs can't figure out what it is. I think it has something to do with her breast cancer surgery a year ago, January, and the meds and everything her poor body has been through. What makes me mad is her docs are blaming her weight on being dizzy. But I don't agree with their diagnosis. She has been over weight for a long time and never had any dizzy spells. It's only after surgery, chemo, radiation, and meds that she is dizzy. Docs are so stupid sometimes. And they are making her go to weight watchers. Which isn't necessarily bad, but they aren't looking for the real cause of her dizziness. She can't go out unless she uses a wheel chair, in case she falls. She also shows the signs of FMS. ~Rainy Sue > i have been told the dizzyness comes from my spine being out of place and > pressing on the nerves. it makes sense, and i do feel better after going to > the chiropractor. > kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 21, 2001 Report Share Posted February 21, 2001 i went thru so many dr's, and even after i found that out i wasn't really sure. mine started after my 2nd carpal tunnel surgery. they also repaired and old fracture where the bone died. they took a piece of bone from my hip and placed it in my wrist with pins and i was placed in a cast to let it grow. that was supposed to be outpt surgery. but when i awoke i was in extreme pain and very sick to my stomach so they kept me overnight. i was in so much pain. i was on darvocet for months. my mom would help me get dressed they's set me up in the lawn chair outside and i'd just kinda watch the grass grow!!! i was in that cast for 8 mos!!!! i never felt the same after that surgery in my head. i don't know if from the anesthesia or what. kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 21, 2001 Report Share Posted February 21, 2001 i never had problems until after the 2nd surgery and i never felt the same after it. i used to think the anesthesia did something to me. kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 21, 2001 Report Share Posted February 21, 2001 I'm lost. You go from surgery in your wrist to your head. I know you must have told us, but I don't recall. Help. I'm sorry. ~Rainy Sue > i went thru so many dr's, and even after i found that out i wasn't really > sure. mine started after my 2nd carpal tunnel surgery. they also repaired and > old fracture where the bone died. they took a piece of bone from my hip and > placed it in my wrist with pins and i was placed in a cast to let it grow. > that was supposed to be outpt surgery. but when i awoke i was in extreme pain > and very sick to my stomach so they kept me overnight. i was in so much pain. > i was on darvocet for months. my mom would help me get dressed they's set me > up in the lawn chair outside and i'd just kinda watch the grass grow!!! i was > in that cast for 8 mos!!!! i never felt the same after that surgery in my > head. i don't know if from the anesthesia or what. > kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
