Guest guest Posted June 6, 2000 Report Share Posted June 6, 2000 , I'm sorry to hear about your daughter, but I'm glad to know that it isn't just happening to me. I will say a prayer for her to be safe, and I'm very glad that you posted. I think it would be wise for me to start resting more also because I usually push it, and then I pay for it and it just isn't worth it. Again....thanks for sharing. Debbie G.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2000 Report Share Posted June 6, 2000 is there a med that is prescribed for the dizziness? I was given antivert last year and recently got the dizzies alot worse and even tried to black out while driving. I called my doctor on Sat and he told me to take antivert again. 25 mgs, 3 times a day. ~~~Tami~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shirley >> This was a surprise to me, I have numbness in the balls of my feet, I thought it was coincidence and was due to something else, like bad shoes, too much activity, sensitive reaction from Panc. pain, getting older, etc.. And now is this an another symptom of Panc. ?? Numb extremities ?? Whata a surprise?? On the other hand I have no vertigo, no symptoms in the hands No drug interaction, I use the same thing for pain as for sleep but only for sleep in the most extreme circumstances, like 2 days with only 3-4 hours sleep then the third day I will take codeine. Wash it down with a quart of bourbon LOL Hope all have a good weekend for what is left of it. Best wishes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, swelling of the abdomen (like a lot of us get when we are nauseated) puts pressure on the diaphragm and causes the same shallow breathing. As hard as it, is try to deliberately breathe very deeply, open-mouthed (that's attractive, huh? lol) and as relaxed as you can. Good luck. Anne >> Hi Anne, I know that my dizziness is caused by my pancreas. It's hard to describe how I know but I do. With me it is not present all the time. I might just wake up in the morning and sit on the side of my bed for a while then when I walk I walk into the walls. It is a strange dizziness. My head and body feel as though they are leaning far to the right. I have to hold onto things so I don't fall down. I usually hit the wall several times before I realize that holding on to furniture is needed. It is really strange. Shirley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2000 Report Share Posted July 22, 2000 No it is not in my head..wish it were. I had a mri confirmed stroke so i pay attention to any dizziness AND i have also had a panic attack that was caused by stress related to my acute attack of pancreatitis in Dec of last year (confirmed by labs) I am a nurse too and believe me i am self critical on anything or symptom that i have. I really think i have had an atypical reaction to the ambien...reviewing this newest onset of the dizziness I was given the ambien because the severe pain that started this last time would not allow me to sleep. Needing to sleep and get away from the pain i took the ambien. I feel A WORLD of difference today than i have in weeks. The last ambien i took was thurs. night. The restoril does not and has never done that to me. My doc thought ambien was newer and liked the fact that the sonata (which i also had in there) puts you to sleep fast and then allows you to return to a normal sleep pattern quicker than other other drugs...I don't hate anyone but from what i have read from people on this list (myself included) and the horror they have suffered at the hands of medical people I would never even hint that anything could be in the head. I think everyone here has had to deal with the worst stress in the world coping with the change in your life, pain, snide remarks from medical people, lack of pain support, frustration ect..i am sure you didnt mean anything personal.
