I get dizzy when I'm sitting alot. I am really not sure what to blame it on. I

take a lot of meds that warn of dizzyness.

Re: walking into walls? and falling

Does anyone else get dizzy when you are sitting down? I've been

paying more attention to my symptoms, because I am supposed to get an

appointment with either the new doctor this week or the doctor at the

ER this week (I run out of my " sample prescriptions " on Wednesday).

I'm hoping this new doctor will be able to answer some of my

questions about the symptoms that I don't think my current dx's

explain. The new doc might just chalk it up to the fibro, but a doc

other than my first doc telling me this might make me feel a little

bit better about taking the medicines that they are giving me, ya

know? I don't want to take medicine if it's not gonna make me feel

better (esp. when i don't have enough money to pay for them) or if

they are the wrong medicines to begin with.

up. I guess I need to use my walker or cane in the house.

Annie,

You sound like me! I have always fallen! My parents always made comments

about it. In 2005 I fell and CO and dislocated my shoulder had to go to

hospital there in Poudre Valley that hospital was like being on the show ER. I

came home and dislocated it again and this time it stayed out I was screaming.

I went to a Specialist after seeing my GP and he was not a very good Doc. He

wouldn't do surgery just PT I had a torn Labrum and that is why it kept

dislocating. I went to another Doc in May of 2006 and this one saw me twice and

said that is it we are doing surgery. I fell twice after surgery. Another 6 mo.

of PT. This was the first Summer of 2007 I was able to ride my motorcycle

again. But being off my feet that long I am so weak. Its like the Fibro has

taken over. But I asked my Rhuemie and he said that falling is a big part of

Fibro. Alot of why I think I fell after surgery was my meds as they raised my

Hydrocodone. I don't know. I have a husband who s

always saying watch out for this or that. I love him for it but I feel like a

child. I stilll feel so weak. But anyway be careful hun ok?

Hi Annie,

Good luck on the CT scan. I too have had a spinal fusion, in my neck, the top

2 cervical discs so I can identify. I pray you haven't affected them with your

falls,

Marti
