Guest guest Posted December 22, 2002 Report Share Posted December 22, 2002 Hello everyone, Has anyone been troubled with vertigo as part of RA? I am stuffy having had a cold a couple weeks ago. Since I am on MX and prednisone, are these meds lowering my resistance to infection? I saw my doc last week for high blood pressure and vertigo. He treated the blood pressure but said, " Everyone's got vertigo. " And he didn't look in my ears or treat it. (I am kicking myself that I wasn't insistent that he take care of the vertigo.) I had my first bout in my life in Sept. a couple weeks after a hospitalization with oxygen in my nose, which made my nose dry. An antibiotic from another doc worked. I will call her tomorrow and hopefully she'll call in the prescription. I am so new to RA that I don't know the connections that can occur in other health issues. My old body usually waited for something to pass and it did. How diligent must I be to avoid making a situation worse? This is annoying, depressing, difficult especially since I want to enjoy the holidays. Best wishes to all, Maxine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
