Hi Adunni - Welcome to our group.
Your exercise dedication is admirable. I'm a bug believer in "Use it or lose it" when it comes to mobility with MS.
THis is a pretty old thread. It was last updated over 4 years ago. Many of the participants are no longer visiting, including Skyblues. I just didn't want you to think you were being ignored :-)

Hello,
I get the same thing but it goes away when I am consistent with my jogging. I will say I have never fainted though, but every time I get back into my workout phase, I usually see stars, things get a little blurry and I began to trip over my feet. It took about 2-3 months of consistent exercise ( jogging and HIIT workouts, no weights) for it to go away. My mother said maybe it's the body detoxing. There's no evidence for that but in a way, I think my mom is right. Maybe not detoxing but readjusting and getting more oxygen into the body. Not sure, but I thought it was just me who saw stars.

Hello :)
First off It is always so nice to hear when one is "Feeling well enough to move"!
I am so glad for you...enjoy!
Secondly the Pre-syncope episode (almost fainting) you were feeling could certainly be from getting over heated. When one has MS and there core temp rises then we tend to get a not so good feeling of several Sx from the Pre-Syncope you described to nausea, tingling, numbness and a several others. Though we should Not always right everything off to MS.
Have you checked your heart rate and or B/P when this happens? They have cooling vest that you can purchase for those with heat intolerance. Assuming that's what this is for sure.
As always, when you have a new sx arise escpecially one such as this, it may be a good idea to touch base w/ your Neuro as they may want you to see a Cardio doc just to make sure everything is in order there :)
Be Safe,

The treadmill has the same effect on me, if I do 10 minutes on there it can take 10 minutes for the dizziness to go away.
I have always put it down to my eye problems or motion sickness (MS related) as on a treadmill you are not actually going anywhere although your body thinks you are and the ground beneath you is moving.
Funny though that a static exercise bike doesn't make me feel quite as dizzy/sick.

Perhaps overheating. The water will cool you faster and while cycling the moving air will tend to keep you cooler. Try aiming a good-sized fan at you while you treadmill and be careful not to overdo it.
what you are describing is a near-faint.
Make sure you are well hydrated before all exercise. Shorter more frequent sessions are better than long ones in which you overheat.
Just a few thoughts.
