Members rallied around someone seeking tips for managing fibromyalgia-related dizziness, with many sharing they also use canes or walkers for support despite feeling too young or worrying about judgment from others. Several members offered practical strategies that have helped them, including ginger root capsules for vertigo, yogalates or core-strengthening exercises to improve stability, and breathing exercises with guided relaxation recommended by pain clinics. A recurring theme was the disconnect between feeling young mentally while the body feels decades older, met with understanding, solidarity, and gentle encouragement to prioritize safety and self-care without shame.

I have been doing yogalatus when am able to it helps with my stability but it took a long time to build up the core strength. Also tacking time out to do some breathing exercises and guided relaxation helps me focus, which helps with the pain and the dizziness. My pain clinic recommend it. I was really sceptical at first but it really works. Hope that helps.
