Guest guest Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 , How high a dose are you taking? You can rduce the effect bydoing a few different things. 1. Reduce the dose..the herx is dose related and the more the more you feel dizzy. Many people do experinece this effect when they BEGUN minocin.It does leave. 2. Peroxide baths helps with the toxins. It does help and it has gotten me through many abad time. There is an antiinfective protocol on the site talking about this concept 3. I have used benedryl to reduce the histimines being released. This is an amazing thing as it helps me sleep and makes me feel better. Many have had good results from the benedryl!

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2002 Report Share Posted December 16, 2002 Yes, I have had lightheadedness often with CMT. In fact, at a conference run by an expert in the field, he suggested as a help to just lean a bit against a wall, pew in church, chair seat, etc. It certainly helps me. Sometimes I get the feeling that things " slide " momentarily. Unfortunately, this seems to be increasing lately. A happy,safe Christmas to all!

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2002 Report Share Posted December 16, 2002 Thank you for the input b/c just how you explained your lightheadedness is what i have experienced.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 I was very dizzy thje first 4 weeks on LDN. It felt like absolute relapse. Now I feel great again. I don't know, if you are on LDN a longer time, if dizzyness is common. Like to know that too. And what others do to avoid relapse while on LDN??? > Hi all > I know some of you suffer from dizziness and lately I have been having it > all the time.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 Hi Chey and all, I've been on LDN for about 3 mts and have never been dizzy before but I have been experimenting with my dosage a little since I am on only 2 mg and am trying to increase to 3. I went without a few nights to see if it made any differnce but this is the 7th day of dizziness. Someone wrote the other day they had taken a bad fall into the bathtub so maybe LDN doesn't control this. For those that are dizzy does this go away eventually or is it time to be looking for a walker? I still go for walks but am afraid to drive if I don;t have too.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004  do you have an earache? Sometimes this will cause dizziness. I had dizziness when I turned my head too quick before I started LDN but it went away with it. Next time you see your doctor ask him/her to check your ears.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004  Also you may have a mild sinus infection and be unaware of it. This will surely cause dizziness and sometimes just a mild headache that you are unaware of until it is gone. Then you realize you were feeling lousy and didn't know it. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kathy Penrose low dose naltrexone Sent: Monday, February 02, 2004 9:17 AM Subject: Re: [low dose naltrexone] Re:dizziness do you have an earache?

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004  Hi all, First, I agree with on the sinus infection, for me that is. Have suffered from them for years. Migraines for 2 1/2 - 3 years, now gone, after starting the ldn. Now, a sinus tab, or aspirin actually work! Like , I've experienced relief, finally, from the constant migraines. And I know from personal experience that like Kathy, if I turned my head quickly to either side, it would seem like the room would "spin" for a few seconds and I'd either have to sit down quick or hold on to something until it stopped. Now, if anything moves, it's in "really" slow motion and doesn't really affect my balance, goes away quick. Here's a note for all those who have been helped by ldn pretty much erasing all those feelings/symptoms: We don't need an amusement park, all we have to do is stop the ldn for a day or two and we'll be our own amusement park. I know, I know, they are not fun but, for me, I've found that laughter helps. A lot of the symptoms I had, that were gone, do come back now and again, but not nearly as bad as before. I found that the brain-fog, and lack of memory was what really ticked me off the most. And while I'm definitely no Albert Einstein, at least I'm able to "think" again, and have some semblance of a memory. I still feel a little "light-headed" and sometimes kinda like I'm "floating" a bit, but it's not too uncomfortable. Much better than before, much better. Again, thanks to everyone for posting. I really appreciate everyone's notes and comments on how they are doing. It's what made me want to try this drug, just to see for myself if it would do any good! Have a Great Day!

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Hi ...I did get to my rheumy but I never told him about the dizziness. There was so much I wanted to cover with him that I never got to it. He has me on doxipin at night for sleep problems with fibromyalgia. When I first started taking it, he said take 2-3 capsules. Three made me dizzy if I got up at night. Two makes me nice and sleepy. Since the problem went away after I was up for a while, maybe it was that. I will see if it happens again but today I was fine.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 a little late in replying, but dizziness was a big problem for me at first. the neurologist put me on buspar and that seemed to help. i'll still get it now and then (like last night) but not like before. also sometimes a chiro adjustment helps that too. kathy in il Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 ann, Is your daughter taking any medications? Is she eating a balanced diet? What exercise level is she at? Is she well-hydrated? You didn't say her age. Has she had a complete blood count test done (can reveal alot). About the allergies - having a CAT scan for allergies is new to me - has your daughter been to see an allergist and had the full set of allergy tests - foods plus environmental factors - (the skin test is what I mean). As we have seen some people with CMT do experience dizziness, I think there were some posts last week on this. I posted a few websites on balance too. And then there are CMT people like myself who have allergies, all of which are under control now and I am symptom free as a result of a great allergist. Of course, my allergies are not related to my CMT. ~ Gretchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Hi. I have had the same type of " dizziness " happen to me off and on for 30 years. Never connected it to CMT--never discussed it with my Dr. It is nice to know that someone else has the same thing happen to them sometimes. I just had an " incident " the other day when I was sitting on my sofa. I will have to ask my Dr. about this also. I have never blacked out though. Thanks for sharing.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Most definitely yes! Dizziness is very common amongst us implanted women who are reacting poorly to our implants. That was one of my first awful symptoms. I thought I was losing my mind. I sat down to read my Bible because I was so afraid of what was going on in my body and I could not comprehend the words that I was reading. That made me even more alarmed. I have never been so scared in all my life. My thought process became slow and scrambled, my brain was foggy, I was constantly tired and fatigued, my short term memory loss was very bad, my eyes felt weird, and on and on. It was most definitely my implants. My plastic surgeon told me it wasn't the implants too. So did my family doctor who said it wasn't the implants, but some kind of neurological problem and " we would find out what it was. " He didn't. If you ask the wrong questions, you get the wrong answers, and they were not interested in finding the right answer because they were already biased against it. Implants do make women ill, but it is going to be hard to find any traditional medical professionals that will tell her that. I had to take my health into my own hands and make decisions that I knew were right for me. That began when I found Ilena's breast implant support group and 1000's of other women who were ill from implants, got my implants out properly, and then began searching for answers to healing. I found them in pursuing natural therapies and detoxing my body. I have my health back. Your friend can get hers back too, but she needs to be strong and make decisions that are good for her, and realize that sometimes those professionals we were taught to trust are wrong. Implants make women sick, and this controversy over implants isn't going to go away just because they want it to. She may want to join our group to get some help...the first thing she needs to do is find a plastic surgeon who will remove her implants properly, and that will take some research. Let us know if we can help more. best wishes!

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 I would say she should see a Neurologist!aggiemary04 <aggiemary04@...> wrote: My friend Heidi got her implants in the Summer of 2002... November 2004, she started feeling dizzy all the time. It has gotten to the point that she cant read .. her roommate has to do that for her. She has gone through 50 billion tests (cat scans, mris, blood work..etc) and they cannot figure out what is wrong with her. She has looked into the fact that maybe her implants are causing the problem but is being told (by 2 plastic surgeons) that it couldnt be them because the problem showed up 2 years after getting them put in.. Do you think the implants could be the problem? ~ ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 It sounds like with 50 billion tests, she probably already has! My 2 cents are that neurologists aren't going to find much of anything either. Tests, tests and more tests are not going to solve the problem. Solving the problem involves removing the problem, and if the doctors aren't going to look at implants as the problem, guess what you get? A medical merry go round from hell. Who wants to get on that? Patty My friend Heidi got her implants in the Summer of 2002... > > November 2004, she started feeling dizzy all the time.
