How Should Dizziness, Nausea With Lupus And Fibromyalgia Pain Be Treated?

Hi, I have been having dizzy spells for over a month. I also have some nausea with little appetite (which is unusual). I have been to my GP who gave me a Prednisone pack and told to see my Rhem ASAP as my sed rate was 65. I have Lupus and it is very active. My Rhem told me to have an MRI of my head and took blood and urine. She told me my sed rate would not cause any of these problems. I don t feel any better and I m not getting a warm fuzzy feeling about my doctors not agreeing about my diagnosis. I don t know who to go back to or to another doctor. In addition to all this I am h aving lots of pain with Fibromyalgia. I can t go on like this any longer. Bed rest isn t my thing. Thanks in advance. Diana

Hi! there are so many causes of dizziness:- inflammatory, Nutrition related and Drug Induced etc. Steroid & other hormone affects peripheral vestibular system, which may be one of the mechanism of dizziness. Vit. B12 deficiency is also one of the causes.
In my opinion Stay tuned with your GP & Rheum. Get well Soon...
