Thanks for your message Scott1. I did get an MRI of my cervical spine, all clear. I'm in Canada and my neurologist got me to do pretty much all tests that I should require, and those haven't been enough to get a diagnostic or figure out what is going on. So now I'm just listening to my body in case ...

Any updates? I have almost identical symptoms... I still have occasional dizziness a couple times a week but not so strong (2/10). They've never been incapacitating. I have tinnitus since 2010 and lately, the volume of the buzzing has increased (5/10). Really fucking annoying! So I have a few brain...

Thanks Bartman for your response.

I didn't know Lyme disease and Coinfections could have symptoms such as loss of balance and muscle pain. I'll definitely read up on it. Thanks!

Hi to all! Early February 2013 during a trip in Asia I started to feel brief episodes of unsteadiness and loss of balance. After a couple weeks, this sensation of “feeling drunk” or “floating” was no longer temporary as I was feeling it constantly. I went to see an ENT specialist thinking it could b...
