    Yes - it has happened to me twice in the last few years. It was awful. I literally could not walk straight and had the dry heaves - it made me so nauseous. It was so scary. I panicked. In both instances, I had to sit propped up in bed and not move for a few hours. Then it just passed.

    Hi Nettie - the dizziness and vertigo is by far my very worst symptom. I take prescription Meclizine (Dramamine) as needed and it helps a little. It is going on four months now, but it is starting to ease up a bit. Take good care and know that you are not alone. There are many wonderful women on this forum who have reported similar symptoms. Wishing you well.

    Thank you, ladies, for your responses. The vertigo spinning is so freighting! It helps to know one is not alone in all this.
