 MS and Vertigo When the Earth Moves but Not in a Good Way Everyday Health MenuNewslettersSearch Multiple Sclerosis <h1>MS and Vertigo When the Earth Moves but Not in a Good Way</h1> By Trevis GleasonFor Life With Multiple SclerosisReviewed: June 14, 2017Everyday Health BlogsFact-CheckedThis past fortnight I’ve been hit with some episodes of vertigo that made me think of the earthquakes I experienced when living in Alaska and on the American West Coast. It’s as if the earth beneath me is rolling like a wave, or I’m standing on an underinflated air mattress.The sensation only lasts for a few moments to a few minutes, but when it happens, I have to wonder if I’m going to be able to stay upright, even if I’m using a forearm crutch. While I don’t feel nauseated when these episodes hit, I can see how someone might.

For me, it’s like the world is moving in a way I’m not used to, and I am trying to move through it the way it used to be. I perceive my vertigo as something of a physical manifestation of what I’ve seen visually represented in film — like the ripples in the air in The Matrix — or something I’ve seen myself, like the view up into the sun from the bottom of a pool on a bright day.

It’s as if my body is experiencing things that previously only my eyes have seen. While these recent episodes of vertigo have slowed me down a bit, they’ve been nothing like what I experienced before being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS). Early on, I had a bout of world-spinning vertigo that had me in bed for a week and crawling to the toilet with my eyes closed to vomit.

Why not just call it “vertigo” and leave it at that? As many of you know, the symptoms of MS can vary not only in their occurrence, but in how each of us experiences them.

And sometimes describing our individual experience of a symptom is difficult. Back in 2013, I hit upon the idea of creating our own “MS symptom thesaurus” to allow each of us who has experienced a particular symptom to describe it in our own words. Over the years, we’ve published entries on muscle weakness, fatigue, spasticity, speech problems, the “MS hug,” depression, and more.
