DIZZINESS AND LIGHTHEADEDNESS

[Guest guest]

SINCE BEING DIAGNOSED FOUR YEARS AGO WITH MONO, I HAVE SUFFERED FROM

STRANGE LIGHTHEADEDNESS. HAVE HAD EVERY TEST IMAGINABLE- I DID HAVE A

POSITIVE TILT TABLE TEST AND AM CURRENTLY ON BETA BLOCKERS BUT THEY

HAVE NOT LESSENED THIS STRANGE FEELING. DOES ANYONE ELSE SUFFER FROM

THIS?

I do, but most of the time contribute it to one or two of my meds. It isn't fun but neither is having fibro Shirley Godbout

I too have had episodes of dizziness and lightheadedness. Looking back,

I think some were brought on from being under severe life stresses

during that time. (long story...) It could be that I tighten my

muscles (unknowingly) to the point of cutting off oxygen to my brain.

Sometimes the vertigo came on quickly without warning - just sitting at

the computer or teaching, or sometimes when I turned around quickly.

Haven't had an episode in a long time fortunately.... I wonder if

lightheadedness could also be from hormone fluctuations or a side

effects of meds.

Both most likely have to do with the autonomic nervous system, which

is " broken " if a person has CFIDS/Gulf War Illness. This particular

dysfunction has nothing to do with stress, overdoing, or anything else

that mainstream doctors want you to blame on yourself. Blood pressure

elevation or plunges upon changing positions are drastic when compared

to healthy people. And beta blockers generally achieve nothing more

than aggravating debilitating fatigue.

The dizziness usually is inflammation of the passageways in the head.

Sometimes the eustachian tubes shut completely down, especially close

the face. If you look down, you either feel like you are falling over,

or you feel like you have a serious sinus infection. Frequently, the

tooth roots hurt, especially the front top ones. People mistakenly

refer to it as congestion, allergies, or sinus infection. Yet they get

no relief from over-the-counter or prescription medications. The best

treatment is extremely diluted H2O2 IV therapy in dextrose solution

dripped over a 90 minute period. Short of that, there are several

things you can do at home.

-- Boil out both ear canals with 2 percent peroxide. Repeat every

other day until the dizziness stops. Then maintain by " boiling " at

least once a week.

-- Use hydrogen peroxide mouthwash on your toothbrush to run around

your mouth, under your tongue, back of your throat, and insides of

your cheeks after you have brushed and rinsed your teeth with regular

toothpaste. You should rinse your mouth thoroughly after peroxide use,

because swallowing small amounts will irritate your stomach.

-- Get a prescription for ketaconazole (antifungal) shampoo 2 percent,

and wash your hair and ears with it every other day.

-- Get a prescription for Diflucan (antifungal), and take once per

week with food.

-- Use one gallon of distilled water and a small bottle of 2 percent

peroxide in a cold mist humidifier near your head as you sleep each

night.

I too have had this lightheadedness, which no doctor seems to be able

to explain. I did have a small mini-stroke, and was put on medication

for high cholesterol (Lipitor) and after that it seemed the

lightheadedness went away.
