Very light headed or totally collapsing?

During certain times with your MS, do you find yourself very lightheaded or totally collapse leaving your body tingling?

  1. This has just started happening to me. I was diagnosed 13 years ago. I’m really wondering why this has started.

    1. Hi and . Lightheadedness is common with MS. Here is an article about it that might interested you: https://multiplesclerosis.net/symptoms/dizziness-vertigo. But keep in mind that it can have other causes as well. Dizziness can be caused by UTIs, ear infections, viral infections, drops in blood pressure, all kinds of things. So it's a good idea to talk with your doctor as soon as possible if this is a new symptom. I hope this helps. Best wishes! - Lori (Team Member)

  2. Lori, that link doesn't work for me. Not sure why. Help this MS dizzy b!+c£ with a re-post?
    Cheers 😀




    1. , when I cut & paste it in my laptop browser without the period that's at the end of the hyperlink it works 😀 Perhaps . is the problem

    2. I think you are on to something. I've noticed the same thing with links recently. Making sure that there is a space between the URL and any punctuation is key. Sorry you had to hop over to your desktop to access the hyperlink. Thank you for being persistent!

  3. , I'm hoping you'll get some answers that might help me as well. Being chronically lightheaded stinks!
    Your type of body collapse is something I've been fortunate not to have. Don't envy that. Fingers crossed you find some solutions.
