Vertigo on Arimidex or other AIs? Who's suddenly 'got it'?
Has anyone on AIs experienced Vertigo?
I'd always thought it a minor complaint ..... but yesterday it hit me big-time & I felt HORRIBLE!

I've been on AIs for 2.5 years (letrozole 6 weeks, Exemestane 6 months, Anastrozole 2 years) & recently had a couple of episodes at night when getting up to go to the loo .... feeling dizzy & wobbly on my legs - but it passed.
Yesterday morning, it started in earnest even before I got out of bed. Dizzy, Nauseous, disoriented & 'crabbing sideways' instead of walking straight ahead ... and just feeling 'really off'!
The Dr has given me Stemetil for the nausea.
There is a manoeuvre called the Epley Manoeuvre - has anyone tried it, to realign the crystals in the ear? It can make you may be quite nauseous (and even vomit) so have a tub handy ...
Here’s a good one for explaining why we get it …… a bit technical but the culprits, (the ‘crystals’) are mentioned about the 4min 50sec mark.
Or you can have a go at doing it 'to yourself' ..... but should have your first procedure with a professional, so you know what to expect.

My sister sent me this link:

Or this one to show how the moving the head moves the crystal
