Hi all,

I have been off CDT for almost a week now, but sometimes when I get out of bed, or move my head suddenly, I go dizzy. This morning, I was pulling the curtain, and ended up half on the floor and half on the bed,

Is this normal!!

Thanks

Love
Tina

Morning Tina

First it wasn't with me I never had dizzy spells at all, I would get that checked today at your Dr's

Hope it turns out to be nothing.

Love Tom "Onwards and Upwards" xx

Hi Tina,

I have had quite a few dizziness attacks over the past four years, similar to your experience after a sudden move or burst of energy. I can't directly recall if they occurred after coming off treatment but they tended to be a series of 'one offs' rather than a continuous bout.

I have always blamed my medication but if your attacks continue I would go to your GP for a check up, just in case.

Dai.

Hi Tina,I noticed this after my 2nd sct. Sometimes I felt as if I was going to fall over although I never did. I think it was the aftermath of all the medication I had taken and it did settle down after around 6,weeks. I would bypass the GP and go straight to the Hospital and see your Consultant. Unless you have a really good GP and I know some are lucky in that respect Hospital is the best place to go to get urgent attention. I found when I was sitting down I was ok but when standing I would get a very strange feeling in my head,a sense of unbalance which would come and go.

Good luck Tina and I hope you get it all sorted out for yourself.

Keith.

Dear Tina,
I have no idea what is 'normal', but when I was on CDT I fell over twice due to extreme dizziness – in fact it was so bad that I thought I had perhaps been unconscious for a split second.
I am now only on Thal and haven't had any serious episodes of vertigo.
Best,
Eva
