Does anyone else have this happen....a dizzy feeling when bending over or leaning over forward? I noticed that when i do that, i get the sensation that the ground is moving, or like i am in an elevator. Could this be a symptom of MS?

I've had some weavy kinds of moments, but rarely when getting up or bending over. It's mostly when I am going to have or am having an attack, and then I get all weavy when I am trying to walk from one place to another. Anyone else?

thats how my dizziness started. i always thought it was a blood sugar issue, you know, blood rushing to your head whenyou lean over or something.
it started that when i reached for something, like REALLY reached, i would get dizzy and end up leaning way too far. but now its a "walking down the street and the world goes topsy turvy" kind of feeling.
it took a year plus to morph itself into that.
keep track of your symptoms and try to limit your variables.
make sure you are hydrated and rested, and you wear good shoes.

Vertigo is definitely a symptom of MS. I get that too when I lean over. I first noticed it when I was about to dry my hair. I tipped my head upside down and the whole room started spinning in huge circles. I stood upright and it faded. But it took days for the feeling to go away. There is no warning, you just have to make sure you are always careful. I'm sure you don't go whipping your head around all over the place, but make sure you always have a sure foot or are hanging on to something when you lean over.
