Me too in the past few mo. - if u are like me it will pass - go to bed, sleep or just go to bed and watch tv. Get away from it all. If u can even sleep just 1-2 hours I think you will feel better. My DX is not far from yours. We are new at this. I think you are scared and just don't know it. Sleep my friend all will be dif. when u awake .

Oh yuck! I hate that feeling. Do you have any meclazine or Dramamine/Bonine... stuff? If you can take it, and the blue pill and try to sleep it off, it might let up by morning.

Sometimes I have to sleep in my recliner with my head wedged in one place or there will be no sleep. If you're having vertigo in the dark, make sure there is a clock radio or some small source of light to focus your eyes on. It will help you "hold still".

I soooo feel for you, it's horrible.

I think that the vertigo is the worst symptom that I've had so far. My regular doctor gave me steroids (oral prednisone) last summer. Havent had the vertigo much since then.

You might want to check with your neuro. Maybe your 8th cranial nerve is acting up.

Out of all the symptoms that I've had, vertigo is the one symptom that I've literally begged for steroids to make it go away. Altho, my regular doctor spent a lot of time trying to figure out if I had BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positioning Vertigo) before he would get his prescription pad and write me the 'scrip for the 'roids.

I actually had two vertigo attacks hit me while I was at his office. The second one is what got him to get out the prescription pad. (finally!)

I'd been having vertigo attacks for years before I found out about the MS, that I had thought were ear infections. I'd get vertigo 3 or 4 (or more) times a year. Now I've only had a couple of mini-attacks of vertigo, usually when I have a cold or if I get up too fast.

I really hate vertigo. Except for burning/freezing/invisible-thumbtack-filled-boot sensations in my feet, vertigo is my most hated symptom so far.

Sorry to hear that my lil Yabbit friend. Try and get some rest and hopefully you'll feel better tomorrow.

Been thinking about ya!

Ahhh Yabbity One!

That was one of my worst ongoing complaints. The only thing that ever helped was steroids and sleep, often together! It would happen in stores, at work, when I was driving, when I tried to concentrate on anything that required brain cells to work!

You are going through a lot right now and that only makes it worse. You need to learn how to grab every shuteye opportunity possible, even if it's only 15 minutes!! Honest to god it helps, and it's truly the only way to cope with it. You also may need a course of steroids.

My silly younger bother ( and yes I spelled that right!) told me to either GET some rest or take it as a cheap high! It was the only time he has made sense in years!!! I did both...

YB, I'm so sorry you're having this crappy symptom....it's the worst. I don't get vertigo often but when I do I'm down for the count. Liike everyone else has suggested sleep is the best medicine. I never took steroids for my vertigo - and I'm sure if I had I wouldn't have been able to sleep. Maybe your doctor can prescribe something that will help you sleep during this episode.

I hope by today you're feeling better and the symptoms have subsided.

Ooooo how I hate that feeling! I'm glad it's a bit better today. Sometimes all you can do is hang on..And maybe a little dramamine.
