So sorry you have vertigo. I have noticed my balance has become worse and worse these past six some years. Very unsettling, as I live alone. No vertigo. My balance was excellent before, even for my age, 60 when diagnosed. I do hope you can find some relief. I rely a lot on Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Yes, many people with myeloma experience dizziness and balance issues. MyMyelomaTeam members have described feeling "lightheaded," experiencing a "spinning room" sensation, or being "off balance." Some notice these symptoms come on suddenly, particularly when changing positions quickly, like bending over.

These balance issues can significantly impact daily activities - some members have reported having to avoid driving when experiencing these symptoms. Several factors can contribute to dizziness in myeloma:

• Side effects from medications and treatments
• Dehydration
• Poor nutrition
• Weakened immune system
• Changes in position too quickly
• Sleep issues

It's important to track when these symptoms occur, especially in relation to treatments or medication changes. This information can help your healthcare team identify the cause and make appropriate adjustments to your treatment plan.
