So these past couple of weeks I appear to have gained a new symptom. At random times my head has a funny twinge in it, my vision doesn’t change but it feels a bit like vertigo or sickness. It happens quite reguarly about 10+ times a day for a couple of seconds I feel like I should be dizzy but I don’t notice any change in my vision. Anybody else get this or know what it is? ---

Hi, I get this also, in fact today is one of those days. It’s just one of the many symptoms of MS. I once was walking along and careered off and nearly went in to wall (lucky it wasn’t the road). I also just had a touch of Trigeminal Neuralgia, toothache and my face hurt to touch. I also had the electric shock in my face. My Dr gave me Gabapentin which seemed to do the trick. Hope your symptoms pass quickly Sue ---

I get episodes of it over and around my eye. Some days it happens frequently, other times I forget about it until the stab comes back. No change to vision or anything. More things to remind us of the MonSter MiSbehaving. ---

Thanks for the replies, it isn’t painful thankfully, it just feels very strange like I am going to feint/black out but just as it starts to build up it goes away again. Had it now every day for about 10-14 days. ---

i get that feeling of thinking i’m going to faint too. like you it doesn’t last long but it does stop me from socialising, scared of fainting when i’m out. ---

Don’t assume its MS - I did and was wrong… I had (a) crystal(s) in my inner ear - it only happened when I moved my head in a particular direction - it also turned out to be only in my right ear - the doctor performed something called the epli manuover to get the crystal(s) back where they should be - but unfortunately they moved into a different part of the inner ear - I am still going dizzy/faint but the movements that cause it have changed direction! I am scheduled to have the epli done again - it did prove that the suggested problem was likely to be the cause - and I feel better knowing it is unlikely to be MS related and the dizzyness is likely to be cured (permanently?)

Hi FrostPaw I was really interested to see your post as I had the exact same thing happen to me in 2003. When it first started I immediately went extremely dizzy for about 10 minutes then stopped. It gradually faded over a month and in the end was just the twingey feeling. As soon as I felt it I learned to keep my head absolutely still and I don’t go dizzy anymore. I do sometimes get a very odd feeling where I have a ‘feeling’ that even though I am sitting absolutely still everything appears to shoot from side to side. Don’t know what it is and I am still in limbo but I thought I would share my experience and say that you are not alone. All the best Spiderwoman
