OMG I've been suffering from this since January of 2016 it's horrible some days I can feel like I can't walk and it's dizziness but then also just the feeling of being unsteady when I walk I feel very unsteady it makes me not even want to leave the house I did have vertigo in January so I don't know if it's something that just never went away or if it's hormonal but in January is when all my other menopause symptoms hit and I keep going back to oh my gosh do I have MS or something terrible it's been really hard for me to deal with this symptom. . I started taking a low dose of Xanax because my doctors keep telling me it's from anxiety it does seem to help I think but it's still there every day

Since January?? OMGoodness... I've had this for about 2 months.. Dizziness and unsteady when I walk. Didn't know what it was. Once my blood test came back normal, I figured it might be related to stress/anxiety. I started a low dose of Lexapro-- I guess we'll see but I just want this to go away..

yes, a loonnngg time
its taken joy from my life because i dont look forward to going to places that involve walking a lot. there has been a lot of times i dont go
i try to explain it tp people and i cant. its this weird feeling in my head, my legs feel weird and i feel unsteady and walk to the right. i had an brain mri and cat scan both normal. its the worst symtpom of them all cause it pretty much never stops. i tell my family its like torture. i pray at nite to please go away and everyday its there
i hope you dont have it as long me. i am sorry you are going thru it too but honestly makes me feel better to know im not alone.

It sure makes grocery shopping a real treat! ( sarcasm).
I also feel this besides the anxiety is one of the most debilitating symptom!! Sea legs, leaning to the right, drunk ( without drinking ) I hate it. It's the fluctuations of hormones having a party in our bodies. Such unwanted guests!!!!

Hi Sue, I think, if everything else has been ruled out it's just your hormones having a whinge (whinge - think tired toddler)
I know it is easier said than done when it is happening to you, but there is a useful phrase on this site 'this to shall pass'. All things are fleeting, even the menopause. I think if you can remember this and say it to yourself, take a few deep, slow breaths, perhaps sip a ginger tea (when you can!) try and think of something pleasant. As you do the feeling will start to go, you will feel better and that should see it off completely. It works for me.

Yes, your post brought it back to me. I used to get dizzy and feel I was being
pulled (can't remember To left or right) but it was horrible and I nearly fainted
a couple of times too was about 3 years ago. I am 56 and still getting lots of
symptoms, that probably lasted about a year, as most things do. Apart from
the hot flushes. When will they ever stop, I am postmenopausal!😕😕
