Hi Jody:
I have CFIDS as does my son Blake. I have learned ALOT about Vertigo, Dizzinness and imbalance by watching Blake suffer with these issues over the past 6+ years. I used to hear a "Kaboom" in the shower....After about a year of that...I asked Blake "What the heck are you dropping everytime you shower".....I was horrified when he said "thats me sliding down the wall of the shower Mom." Blake had to sit in the shower as he was too dizzy to stand. At 6'2"...it was a tight squeeze in the small bathroom. I was sick to my stomach watching him get dizzy when trying to stand up, clutching the hallway of our Farm Cottage when he walked, etc....Orthostatic Intolerance is a part of CFIDS I later Learned....as well as blood sugar issues....etc....a change in diet helped with the symptoms....adding the vitamins he needed boosted another 10% in improvement.....he is now 65% better after the Valcyte therapy.....(still ongoing).....I do not think people realize how debilitating these symptoms are....
Blessings,
Julia
