Guest guest Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Had dizziness when I was infected the second time and now have constant tinnitus and saw an ear, nose and throat doc....who said it probably will not go away...but it has gotten better in my left ear and now is primarily in my right one...8th cranial nerve....probs cause it I think....I don't know whether the abx or Carvachol I took worked on the left ear...I think it may have been the carvachol....so will try that again soon....carvachol is concentrated oreganol. Hopefully this will go away with treatment but it has been about 2 years and its still a problem....Regards, Dolores From: iam_canehdian <iam_canehdian@...> Subject: [ ] Vertigo/dizziness and tinnitus Date: Monday, July 19, 2010, 5:22 PM  Just wondering if anybody else has vertigo/dizziness and tinnitus or any other ear problems with lyme? I am dizzy ALL day long with some vertigo. I also have constant loud tinnitus that drives me crazy! Anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 I had all these symptoms with my Lyme and then read a book called " Could It Be B12? An Epidemic of Misdiagnoses " by Sally Pachalok,and read that the vertigo, dizziness, and loss of balance could be helped with Vitamin B12. I started taking sublingual Methylcobalamin and that helped it about 50%. Then I got a prescription from my doc for B12 shots (hydroxycobalamin). That was one month ago and I am taking the shots 2ce a week, and I haven't had any vertigo, dizziness or loss of balance. It was my major symptom with Lyme and it is now non-existent. I think there is a correlation between Lyme, myelin sheath destruction and B12. I hope this helps, since I am still amazed every day at the change. > > Just wondering if anybody else has vertigo/dizziness and tinnitus or any other ear problems with lyme? > > I am dizzy ALL day long with some vertigo.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 My tinnitus is much better. My vertigo is gone. This took a few years of antibiotics. I can't help wondering if IV would finish it up, but it hasn't been worth it to me to find out. Phyllis mervine -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010   Hello there ,                Yes. Vertigo or dizziness has been one of my symtpoms also.       Mine is more during driving. It usually happens at higher elevatios or       curvy roads. It's no fun for sure whatever it is. I have had b12 shots in       the past. Still I have this symptom but I'm glad yours is improved.           That's good news. I will not rule this treatment out in the future.            Yes.  I have mild what I call 'buzzing' in the ears. I've had that for        a long time.  Thanks for your input and again it's good to hear when             something gets cleared up.  Hally ________________________________ From: nancysorganics <nmorgan12@...> Sent: Tue, July 20, 2010 6:06:35 AM Subject: [ ] Re: Vertigo/dizziness and tinnitus  I had all these symptoms with my Lyme and then read a book called " Could It Be B12?

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Thanks for your message, Halley, I know how unpleasant vertigo can be and I hope you can find something that helps....and soon. I had to take the B12 shots every day for a week and now 2ce a week. I tried taking them just once a week and the dizziness was still there about 50%.
