I get dizzy, however I was dizzy before I was officially diagnosed with TOS (and went through a battery of blood work, it was all normal and it eventually went away). I also had a bout of Labrynthitis (sp?) a few years ago and that took WEEKS to get over and the lasting effects can stick around for sometimes.

I still get dizzy sometimes, for me, it is more like a "sinking" and "head spinning" type feeling. Sometimes I feel nauseous as well. Haven't brought that up with the doc in a long time.

Related or not related, I used to find that when I lied on my stomach (pre-surgery days) and propped myself up that my hearing would feel "reduced" in one ear. Anyone else have this? I haven't had my hearing checked recently but last time it was better then normal (much to everyone's surprise).

I see my doc this week - I am working on a list of questions for her... :)

I did not realize that the dizziness was something caused from TOS i have had more of the trouble with the dizziness since i had my right side done in fact after surgery and i was home comp had to get me a set for the tub. I couldn't stand because of it in fact i still have to use it and it has been three months i have trouble walking i lose my balance a lot and come very close to falling in fact i have gone down a few times. I never even thought about my voice would have any connection either i seem to lose it will i can still talk but its like it will go from my normal sound to very soft and having trouble with my speech i have been blaming my meds for that just like my memory. I guess i better tell the neuroligst about this to i only told here about my hand arm tremors and that i did get dizzy and i get the shakes at the base of my neck which goes right in to my head.

Mucker,

Like you I had a seat for in the tub for the first two months after surgery as I used to get quite dizzy. The seat was great - at times I felt silly but it really was a saving grace and I recommend anyone who has the surgery to get one...wealth worth the 'investment' (or you can just rent one, I found it was cheaper to buy one then renting for the local medical rental store).

This (the dizziness) is something I am going to bring up with my doc (again) when I see her on Friday.
