In this thread, I would like to hear what kind of treatment/technique/exercise we can practice to deal with dizziness from fibromyalgia.
Good, tough question. Dizziness has so varied causes.
I remember pre-fibro getting dizziness after getting thrown off my bike by a car or having had the flu and thinking it was part of the illness. Then after a few days, I spontaneously decided to pretend I was well, get up and move around more, and lo and behold the dizziness went, so it was circulation. Another case was when my fibro full flare started, getting dizzy while playing table tennis. I realized that closing my eyes not when playing, but when looking down, got rid of it.
This is a detailed post of mine here from May generally about vertigo:
Don’t make the same mistake I made.
As you may be believing it is actually integral to FM itself: If we look at the way fibro seems to work, it may be the balance/eye/
brain-nerve-coordination. In that case neuroplastic & vestibular exercises could be helpful (vestibular com, youtube). Or what if it's the other way round, an imbalance in you is making your
muscles distort your body feeling, which is causing mayhem to the rest? As the docs have only managed to exclude things, which is understandable, my best bet wd be to try
expert physios on this, or as a workaround or parallel to that try vestibular & other exercises on youtube on it. Those then wdnt have to be specifically for fibro, but just knowing that fibro may be more the muscles or maybe the nerves than for instance anything really vestibular. I don't think the connection to fibro fog is that helpful, as that for me seems more like brain fatigue than directly neural?
There's a youtube vid talking about fibromyalgia & dizziness which mentions at least one study, but since I haven't found one relevant enough yet, I'm not sure how helpful that'd be, I'd go thru the ideas/terms anyway tho.
