Because I had just had surgery I felt it may be from that and would go away but continued to get worse. The ground started to bounce and I could see my vision jumping out the sides of my vision. It did not matter if I laid down , walked, sit , either way I turned my head would send me spinning. I went back several times to the doctor who did the surgery and he said surgery went fine !! Here take some meclizine, and astlien spray it will go away . Well it didnt I felt like everytime I drove that my neck was falling backwards and I would hold the steering wheel to pull my body up because of the instense falling feeling. I then went to ENT by this time I was off blance and constantly in a rocking motion or felt like I was on a boat. Blood work done for sugar, syphiless, MRI , ENG was very abnormal so diagnosis Meineres. Tried the dyazide :waterpill” no salt, not soy , no processed foods, vestibular therapy . Well still in a living hell three years later. I went on a trip last month came back around 11:00pm by 11:30 am I was being rushed to ER. Severe vertigo , collapsed , thought it was a stroke this time and have since seen two neuros, back to the ENG test on 11/8 to see how much more damage this has caused. Today on xanex it is the only thing that can keep my eyes from bouncing … think IM going for the Menniett Device this time I hear it can work wonders . I feel Im heading for disability unable to drive , function at work but I AM NOT going to let this ruin my life anymore. I will keep everyone posted Im going to beat this and live a normal life Comments
