My World Is Spinning...Make It Stop!!

Dizziness with multiple sclerosis is a very common symptom of the disease.  The person has the feeling of feeling lightheaded and everything around them is spinning, more commonly known as vertigo.  Well, since my treatment I have been dealing with dizziness and vertigo.  I just want it to stop.

The reasons for dizziness are because of lesions, or the damage that the MS has caused to your brain.  The damage caused by MS is the lesions that interrupt the very complicated pathways that coordinate and control spatial, visual or input that goes into the brain from the eyes that is needed to produce and then to maintain equilibrium.

Now, since I have been having this dizziness and vertigo since my Tysabri treatment, I need to call my neurologist and get a prescription for the medication that works for me, which is Atarax. I have been taking my Atarax, but it has not been effective.  Yes, I am hesitating to call my neurologist because if the Atarax is not working, the only thing to work is prednisone. Ugh. Now, I have to do all of this, probably squeeze in seeing my neurologist all before the Memorial Day Weekend.  Yet, another necessary evil that comes along with multiple sclerosis.  Did I mention that I HATE prednisone.

Well, I have to go and call or yet webmail my doctor for a script, or knowing my doctor, he'll want to see me...ummmm....like next week.  Just gotta love new health insurance, again, yet another joy.

Well, let me handle my business, as my world goes around and around.
