Guest guest Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Tigger Are you passing out, or are you suddenly falling and don't know til you're on the ground already? This is important, as vertigo has this effect. This happened to me over and over back in '98, after the tinnitus, earringing started. This went on for several wks, with 2 or 3 trips to an ear doctor in between. If I even turned my head while walking, I fell down with no warning. Either fluid in the ears or antibodies attacking it, one or the other. Don't guess I'll ever know, as no MRI was ever done. This was the beginning of my feeling the worst, since that time, and even more failure of my thyroid. Re: Tigger > > Janie, Unfortunately, it has happened before. Last Memorial Day during the night. I don't remember anything from right before it happens... no warning whatsoever. I went to the bathroom.....next thing I knew I was trying to get up off the floor and my muscles were not coordinating with me. When it happend last May all I remember is trying to get up and just falling from one side to the other... I was a mess. I looked like I had been beaten. My fibro and chronic fatigue is really acting up. I'm on lots of meds and supplements, but nothing new. No history in the family of it. I'll be 48 in April. > > I trip and fall a lot, or my leg gives out, but this is like a whole body shut down. I mean NO warning at all. I feel like that old commercial... " I've fallen and I can't get up. " I just don't usually know how long I've been down. Only a few minutes or seconds I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
