I have a friend who is suffering from Vertigo.

Does anyone know what may help her?

 

She thinks that allergies may cause it but her doctor tells her that alleries won't cause vertigo. She's feeling totally drained ... any suggestions would be appreciated.

***********

Some things she may want to consider (if she hasn't already)...

 

My first thought, since you said she has allergies and has seen

a " doctor " is.....

 

If her doctor has prescribed her any drugs, there are many, many

chemical pharmaceuticals can cause ototoxicity as a " side-effect " .

Signs of ototoxicity can be: slight to total hearing loss in one or

both ears, tinnitus, vertigo/dizziness, imbalance with difficulty

walking, unsteadiness, lightheadedness, fatigue etc. If it is drug-

induced ototoxicity, it can sometimes be reversed with

discontinuation of the drug (but sometimes not)

 

I've read there are over 700 different drugs now that can cause

ototoxicity. This includes many OTC drugs as well, even aspirin. If

she takes any drugs at all, she may want to contact the drug mfr, and

ask for their Product Information Sheets. (they will mail them to

her free) These sheets contain much more info that is indicated on

the box or given from the pharmacist with the meds. She can then

check these sheets to see if it could be a " known " side-effect of the

drug(s)... Her doctor might not admit to the possibility, so its best

to actually request & check the sheets herself.

 

Environmental chemicals are also potentially ototoxic. Has she been

around any chemical fumes lately? IE: paint fumes, cleaning fumes,

perfumes/air fresheners, pesticides, Or has she brought any

new " fume " releasing products into her home? IE: new carpeting, new

furniture/mattress, remodeling projects, etc.

 

Many chemical food " additives " can also cause various symptoms

mentioned above, so if she doesn't eat organically, she may want to

start? I believe the " artificial sweeteners " are the most common to

cause these type symptoms, but other " artificials " may as well.

Thankyou so much Jan. I am going to copy/paste your message in an email to her. Apparantly she has had this problem for quite some time - she is fine for awhile and then she has a couple weeks of vertigo and then she's back to feeling fine again. Very puzzling.

She has been seeing a doctor for a few years but they have never found the cause although he has said that allergies can't cause Vertigo ... I'm not a doctor so I can't effectively argue his statement but I always thought that allergies could cause vertigo ...

I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis after an MRI

the doctor scheduled, when my main symptom was

vertigo. I have placques in my brain in that area.
