Guest guest Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Dizziness and " greying out " are also symptoms of low blood pressure. Sphygmomanometers are cheap and available in most drug stores, so that you can measure your BP regularly at home.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Vicky, Sorry, I am not qualified to help you. Dizziness is a huge topic. Doing a www.google.com search on dizziness brings up 8,490,000 pages. To refine the search results, do search on combinations of terms, such as +dizziness +scleroderma +dizziness + " drug allergy " +dizziness + " double vision " The following is an informative web page: http://www.pneuro.com/publications/dizzy/ Sincerely, Harald At 01:34 PM 8/20/2007, you wrote: >Harold what do you think is the cause of my dizziness that I talked >about in my earlier post?

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Beth, YOu are on the right track, it will be up and down and even though you might not have a symptom for many months, it may show up once again unexpectedly. You'll realize that everything is farther and farther apart as time goes on, but don't be shocked when a symptom appears out of nowhere. It may only last a few days or even a week or whatever, but it will pass. I never struggle with severe symptoms anymore of any kind. But I must realize that I am not a superwoman and take time for myself, though I've pushed too hard at times. YOu will get better and better, but I think we need to all realize that our lives are forever changed. Patty > > I have noticed lately that my dizziness/drunk feeling is coming > back.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Thanks for the encouragement Patty. I pretty much expected to have symptoms flare up every now and then as it has only been 3 months since explant. I feel pretty good that I went for a good month with NOTHING!!!! It felt so good. I can honestly say that the symptoms do not seem as bad this time around but they are there. I am getting tired easy and not feeling as well rested when I get up in the morning. Seems like my eyes are not seeing clearly which may be why I feel dizzy. Anyways, I guess I just needed that reassurance. I have kinda layed off the detoxing.....maybe it is time to start doing the foot bathes again once a week and look into a sauna...... Love, Beth Re: Dizziness Beth,YOu are on the right track, it will be up and down and even though you might not have a symptom for many months, it may show up once again unexpectedly.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Mara.. You might have pinched a nerve in your neck. A trip to a chiropractor might be a good idea. Do you hear any " crunching " noises when you rotate your head? If you do, then that is a sure sign something is out of alignment.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Huh, I wonder if that is it. Have never been to a chiropractor before but I do hear a noise when I rotate my head around my neck. Not sure it is quite crunching, but it is definitely bone joint noises and I've tended to have some sensitivity when I lift my neck in certain positions. Thanks for the tip.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 I know those with MS can experience something called Lhermitte's Sign. Named after the person who first described it Jacques Lhermitte, the condition also known as Barber's Chair Phenomenon, and erroneously referred to as Llermitte's Sign, characterises an electric-shock like sensation felt down the spine when the head is flexed forwards. http://www.mymultiplesclerosis.co.uk/lhermittes-sign.html > > So I've been having a problem with some dizziness > since Friday night.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Mara, I began to experience dizziness when I upped my dose of LDN to 4.5 from 3.0. It was as you are describing. I also noticed some heart palpitations and a general feeling of things not being as good as they had been on a lower dose. I cut back to a lower dose and these symptoms went away. I now take 3.5mg as my optimal dose after some experimentation. I suggest you play with your dosage and see if the problem abates. Judy Dizziness Posted by: " Mara Schiffren " alcibiades@... alcibiades500 Sun Dec 14, 2008 4:48 pm (PST) So I've been having a problem with some dizziness since Friday night. (Heh, I guess my mood was too good on Friday - should have never posted!) In any case, it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with LDN; I first got it while leaning backwards in an aerial yoga class. So I just thought it was something related to that class. But the feeling, although far less intense than what I had initially, has lingered until now - Sunday evening and when I lean my head backwards or move into other poses/ positions, things I usually do with no trouble at all, I still feel the dizziness. So I'm just wondering if anyone else has had problems of this sort - or if I can rule out LDN as a cause? TIA, Mara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Hi Most of the people I know who have had those symptoms on starting LDN have found that they are due to: 1. Recent history of opiate pain medication - starting on LDN leads to an immediate " withdrawal " effect, with nausea, dizziness 2. Leaky gut, leading to short-chain proteins entering the blood-stream - the LDN blocks the receptors leading to an effect similar to opiate pain medication withdrawal. 3. Candida Albicans/Bacterial gut infection - this can present in all sorts of ways, including nausea and dizziness. Dr. J. McCandless has developed a very straight-forward protocol which I have found to be very effective. Diflucan for 5 days, followed by 20 alternate days along with metronidazole for 10 days on, 4 days off (to allow spores to reanimate) and 10 days on.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 hi victor thanks for the info. it is interesting. i had had no opiods for 2 wks prior to trying ldn and i rarely took it even then. as for no 2 that is a possibility. i took minocycline for 3 y for RA when nausea dizziness started. it got so bad i had to stop mino. if i stick to no sweet healthy diet now those symptoms but RA is still there. when i took ldn even with the candida diet i still had those symptoms so maybe that would point to no. 2? i have taken flagyl and diflucan in past but still have these problems. maybe not the right protocol? i'd like to know more re this. i've tried e-mailing dr. mccandless but she doesn't answer. can i call her? do you have a number? are you a patient of hers? did you initially have these symptoms on ldn and then did this protocol and now are ok on it? i would love to find a way to tolerate ldn since it with diet does help the RA. thanks monique Hi Most of the people I know who have had those symptoms on starting LDN have found that they are due to: 1.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 That is often caused by a reaction to the filler being used. Have you tried using a different filler?

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Anyone suffering from naseau or stomach pains on LDN should look at the filler right away.
