Shane, I saw your comment was 2010 but hope you are still connected, I have the same issues as you, including tinnitus. Have you had any breakthroughs? Praying you are well, Gary
All you guys need to find a doctor to identify your condition as hashimoto hypothyroidism or other class. it its is hashimoto it means its autoimmune, and maybe is not your body attacking your cerebellum and causing balance problems. it is a very complicated issue and only solution to it is the best way to manage it. if you like more information email me at ***@**** write me ill try to help or find you some help. Sorry for your pain :-(.

My fiancé is suffering the same symptoms. He has not been diagnosed with hypothyroidism yet but his symptoms are being off balance, he has gained 40 pounds in 5 months while being on active duty in Afghanistan. They have sent him for an MRI he will get that tomorrow. They are running blood tests to check for hypothyroidism. He has very little energy. They did an eye test on him initially and it showed his eyes literally twitching. Did/do your eyes twitch?

Hello, I'm a bit accident prone, I guess you could call me Urkel but I wouldn't mind if you didn't... LOL It's not quite so much to do with dizziness but I do end up with weak ankles or knees when I try to run or jog. I end up favoring walks instead. I also get migraines on my left side, especially behind my left eye, like this strong pressure every now and then, and mild headaches seem to happen almost every day, have night terrors occasionally. Not sure if migraines are from high blood pressure or what, but I seem to feel more clumsy close to those times. I do take prescription medicine every day so I don't miss days. I have been taking a B complex with C in it and that really works with moods :) Not sure about Urkel moments, still testing that... :) Also, hot tea is great (green, white, peppermint) for stress, at least what I've gathered. I'm hoping that it has some positive effects on my balance and headaches. Good luck to you guys and many blessings!
I appreciate all the information you provided me. This is really helpful too me and has given me hope.
Bless you.
Many Thanks.
