My name is Christine, and I’ve been living with vertigo for about 2 weeks it could be more as it is all blending together. It started in Sept.2004 when it first came and hard! I was terrible dizzy and light headed and very sick to my stomach. I went to the doctor and she gave me Meclizine,and told me to rest for a week. Next week everything was fine. A year later(exactly) it came back I couldn’t even move slightly with out feeling everything spin, within a week it was gone. 2006 same thing as soon as Sept. came guess what yep Vertigo again! Doctors did same routine, here’s your meds go home and rest. 2007 it never came, whoo hoo I was so happy that maybe it was gone for good. 2008 It came early July I was so sick I couldn’t even pick my head up to get sick I just had to roll my face off the side of the bed. I felt so out of it and I couldn’t think straight, nor could i see well enough to focus my sight on an object. At this time I didn’t have a doctor so my husband(who I might add felt completely useless cause he couldn’t help me)went to the store and bought Dramamine(for motion sickness) It seem to work in about a week I was better. A week later it came back, in the meantime I found my old prescription of Meclizine and took it for two days, and on the third day I was better, A week later, It came back, that was around 2-3 weeks ago and I still have it, I now have a doctor who is trying very hard to help me. MY ears feel FULL as do my head and my ears,and the back of my neck ache.I will add that this is the first time I have symptoms of other things. She did them exercises on me and it felt like I was on one of those spinning rides and my stomache started spinning and I was grabbing at the walls and trying to sit up, I found no fun in it at all. But I’m getting use to that feeling as that is the way alot of my movement makes me feel. I have cabin fever terrrible (cause she don’t want me driving and proballly couldn’t anyways) I feel depressed and lonely and hopeless I feel that this is never going to go away and I’m going to be stuck in my house forever, Please if there is anyone out there that knows how to beat vertigo please comment below.
