Diagnosed with multiple myeloma 19 years ago. Now in stable condition. Chemo drugs stopped. Dizziness is not orthostatic hypotension, hyperviscosity, or vertigo, my docs say. No explanation for it.

19 years with myeloma and now stable β€” that's genuinely remarkable. It's understandable to want relief from unexplained dizziness, especially when the usual suspects have been ruled out.

While hypnotherapy specifically hasn't been widely discussed among MyMyelomaTeam members for dizziness, complementary therapies in general are something many members explore alongside their care plans.

Some approaches that members have found helpful for managing dizziness include:

- Mindfulness and breathing exercises β€” one MyMyelomaTeam member found yoga breathing "the most beneficial"
- Meditation β€” helpful for managing symptoms tied to stress or anxiety
- Light physical therapy β€” members have reported positive experiences with both in-clinic and at-home PT
- Staying well hydrated β€” dehydration can quietly contribute to dizziness even when other causes are ruled out
- Tracking symptoms carefully β€” logging when dizziness occurs can help doctors spot patterns Hypnotherapy is considered a complementary therapy, and it's always worth asking your oncology team whether it could be a safe option in your specific situation. They can help weigh any potential interactions or concerns given your history.
