Hi all

I have a question is dizzy spells common with MS? recently diagnosed and in the last 10 years i have had 3 bouts of dizzy spells went to the doctor back then who told me it was labrinthitis one spell went on for about 3-months and then i have i had one that lasted 24hrs with sickness..

So i'm just now wondering if i had relapses and not this labrinithitis..i do have a other symptoms now but then it was dizzy spells, headaches and fatigue..

Thanks Poppy it's good to know.. that i'm not going mad then?

I'm not quiet sure where my lesions are that's something i need to speak to my Neuro about.. I'm having a LP done in a couple of weeks just to defo confirm the MS. So when i go back for the results i will will speak to him more..

Thanks again

So called labyrinthitis was my first major MS relapse so yes, dizziness does happen with MS.  I also had extreme fatigue and severe headaches at the time.  The dizziness seems to come back now whenever I have a relapse and is, I presume, caused by the lesion in my cerebellum re-activating.
