Hi all I am suffering from past 3yrs now first it started off by twitching in my body and slowly pins and needle. Now that has reduced but past 2 yrs I have constant light headed and dizzy plus imbalance. It has really efected my life I had to leave my job. And cause all this is get stressed and anxiety goes up. I have been to an ENT they checked my hearing and said all ok. They sent me for mri for ear and all ok. Next thing is I am waiting for charing Cross hospital to send me appointment for balance test. I get a lot of pain on my shoulder n neck and head. I am going for physio she said I need to correct my posture. But she does not know why I feel dizzy and imbalance. I was told by my ent that if balance test comes normal then they would refer me to neurological department. GP took blood test to rule out other things like deficiency. Oh and I have double vision sometimes. It really worries me. I get tired alot and fatigue. When I was sent to arthritis centre they said it could be fybromylgia. She asked me to read on it. I was wondering ifor anyone is going through my symptoms . I m so helpless now no one at home understand how I m feeling.

    Hi,

    I really believe it might be ms or lupus, I had all the same symptoms but more .... just check the symptoms and compare it you might be surprised. Good luck!!! I know how you feel about your job, I worked for post office delivering mail for 22 years and I had to resign and apply for disability..I hate feeling like this, I miss my old life, I don't want to live like this , with all my symptoms and pain..but what can you do, I have to keep going because I'm single and have kids to worry about....Coral

    I have had the same darn thing for the past three years! II came home from work with a sinus cold/pressure that I really never usually get, took a nap and woke up with imbalance, double vision looking peripherally right or left that I have to close one eye to control it or stop the double vision. I've never been the same. Been to ENT, acupressure, acupuncture, you name it. They gave me prism glasses, different colored glasses to stare at a light did nothing. Been to various Drs but no one seems to have an answer. Next week I go to get a balance test done. I PRAY I get some answers because I used to be so active and healthy and then WHAMMO . . woke up to this and have never been the same : (
