@tracey8 Yes, I had vertigo for a period of time for about a month. It subsided and didn’t come back. This happened about 27 years after my radiation and during flair ups of MS and autonomic Afferent Baroreflex Failure (ABF) symptoms. The vertigo occurred when I was in a prone/sleeping position, throughout the night/morning when I moved my head or tried to sit up. I was told by my neurologist (who I trusted) that it could be transitory, and it turned out he was correct. Cognitively, I’m somewhat slower over time.

Thank you for your response, It is the worst thing I have ever experienced,
And Good Lord have been through it. I could not be alone, drive, watch my
granddaughter, felt like I was on a spinning ride.Had to go on anti nausea
medicine due to the vomiting. So when I was told the only treatment was PT,
I thought they were wacky..lol after 2 treatments I felt so much
better.Still not 100% But thank the good Lord above better.
