Experiencing a weird feeling | Arthritis Information

 

It's a little scarey..  because I don't know what it is.. or what is causing this..  is it a med?

 

I feel more scared and worried about this than having the RA!! When I first got RA and went onto the meds I did not know what was happening to me.
I felt dizzy and as if I was walking sideways. This varied from hour to hour.
I also felt weird as if I was only half here and the other half was somewhere else.
Brain fog I think they call it.

Severe vertigo was another thing I suffered, safest place for me was on the floor.

MY symptoms as described above are slowly subsiding but I still get times when they return.

Personally I think it's the drugs that have caused the body and mind to go into a panic spin.

I know I do feel different taking these drugs.Boy, do I know about that little, fleeting, floating, not quite dizzy feeling.  I've had it all my life!  I can go for months and months , even a year and then wham it's happening.  Sometimes it lasts for weeks and other times it's a one time occurence.  I've since developed an inner ear problem but the two seem unrelated.  Have been to numerous physicans and they haven't found a reason.  It's no worse or better since I've been on RA meds.   Take care.  Lindy[QUOTE=LinB]Boy, do I know about that little, fleeting, floating, not quite dizzy feeling.  I've had it all my life!  I can go for months and months , even a year and then wham it's happening.  Sometimes it lasts for weeks and other times it's a one time occurence.  I've since developed an inner ear problem but the two seem unrelated.  Have been to numerous physicans and they haven't found a reason.  It's no worse or better since I've been on RA meds.   Take care.  Lindy[/QUOTE]
