Through the last six months my wife has worked extremely hard to listen to her body as she is having issues to see what she can do to help. One of the issues she struggles with off and on is dizziness. Sometimes its dizziness that leads to vertigo type symptoms and other times it's more of an annoyance that she just deals with throughout the day. One thing she has learned is that she can stop the issue with rest and water, and if she drinks a lot of soda or tea it can bring on the symptoms.
This last week we went out to eat after a stressful day. She and I both drank sweet tea and she drank 3 full glasses. After driving back to the our offices, we were standing around outside the vehicle and the dizziness hit her. Within minutes she could feel her head spinning and knew she needed to get home. She went home, laid down and drank water and the dizziness went away. I think it amazes both of us how quickly her body reacts to things, whether good or bad.
She knows she has to drink plenty of water to keep her body hydrated and pays for it when she doesn't. Years ago when we first started researching Naturopathy and how to treat MS differently, the first seminar I went to was on how dehydration affects MS and other Auto Immune diseases. Since then, my wife has tried to make sure she drinks plenty of water every day and finds out really quickly when she doesn't drink enough. The only other treatment we have used for dizziness is Chiropractic, and she is adjusted regularly so usually we don't have to take a special trip to the Chiropractor for dizziness.
