Re: Dizziness Question
Thanks Karen. She has an unfilled script for Ativan. I will suggest she get it filled. She doesn't like to take anything like anti-depressants/anti-anxiety drugs. Personally, I would have been on them at diagnosis. Maybe if I tell her Ativan will help with dizziness, she will give it a try. I'm bothered most that she not only gets dizzy but actually fell to the floor after getting out of bed and falling as she started walking.
She tried to work out at the gym again this morning but ended up throwing up before she could even start the workout. Three days in a row of this at the gym. It only happens in the morning for some reason. We're working now on getting the visit with the oncologist moved up to tomorrow.
Thanks again,
Greg
