    Just started a knitting project and feel dizzy and a little cross eyed. When I [just knit ( seed stitch)] it doesn't happen but now I'm doing knit one, perl one. I'll try just knitting 2 rows at a time and see if I acclimate. Has anyone else felt dizzy from any needlework?
    I am ever so thankful for wonderful info. here which led me to antiviral tx and a low sodium diet.

    I don't knit, but I do some fine detail model railroading from time to time. I haven't had any issues with dizziness but I do get headaches and can't do it nearly as much as I used to.

    I don't knit, but i had the same experience when i started playing Mario or racing games again. It took a few rounds to acclimate.

    OMG! I was about to post the same question! Yes! I have found that spending too much time knitting can bring on vertigo, or what I call waviness - that almost vertigo feeling. I wanted to know if anyone else experienced this, and now I know! The same thing often happens when I spend a while on the computer or doing stuff on my cell phone. This darn disease takes away all the fun stuff in life - coffee, alcohol, salt, and knitting :)

    I've had a handful of cups of coffee in the past year and really don't miss it, milk either. Nothing to do with MM but I've joined the camp that believes adults don't need milk. I get calcium from yogurt, chick peas, eggs (yolk) and I take a calcium with Vitamin D3 supplement.
    I'm going to get my knitting out today. I think it has some mistakes.
    My best to everyone.
    In 2018 I resolve to eat more nutritiously and low sodium.

    Yup knitting, anything bending my neck - reading, drawing, needlepoint- all can make me feel swimmy. I try to use my best posture possible, do my home neck physio, just do these things for short stretches.

    A friend said yesterday, “oh all the best people knit!”
