I too have this. I assume my dizziness is from Babesia but I have different types of dizziness... My ears feel like they're full of fluid, my neck is stiff and makes me feel dizzy, and my eyes do strange things that make me dizzy. Originally I had all 3 of these going on and had terrible vertigo. My eyes had "nystagmus" where they dart side to side. Not fun!

For me, it can be a matter of whether my neck vertebrae are misaligned. When I get a good chiropractic C1 adjustment, dizziness goes away.

Numbness in the hand can be from misaligned lower neck or upper thoracic vertebrae pinching the nerves.

None of the adjustments hold that long, but at least I get some relief and I'll go for that!
