Have you had your vertigo checked to see if it's BPPV (benign positional postural vertigo -- long name for a fairly common occurence in folks over 60)? It can be very nasty, but also very easy to fix. A search on google will give you skinny on it, and for me a single 10 minute visit to the dr. cleared it up.

I know that we are all different and we all respond differently to medication. For those of you that have stiffness onset, how did it help you and did you have side effects of the medication? I am mainly concerned with the possibility of dizziness because I am prone to episodes of pretty severe vertigo. Any feedback would be appreciated.
