I'm sorry that you are having dizzy spells, such things are a worry. Have you spoken to your doctor or haematologist about this problem? It would be good to have a proper check up to make quite sure that the dizzy spells are related to Hydroxy and not to something else. If it is caused by Hydroxy, your doctor certainly needs to know and a solution to this problem found.

Kind Thoughts, Peter

Hi there, my side effects were horrid for sometime,but gradually lessened. Hope it's the same for you.

PS water, water and then more water helps.

So sorry yo heat your symptoms appear to be persisting.

Have you told your team.

I used to get headaches in the morning but found these disappeared when I got water on board.

It does get easier.
