Vertigo

[happylabs]

Thanks all. It isn't blood pressure or anything else. It is definitely vertigo/inner ear issue. I just had my annual check up and BP is fine and bloodwork was excellent since I have been doing low carb. I am feeling better today. The spinning seems to be gone for the most part. The Meclizine really knocks me out so it takes about a half a day to recuperate from the medicine as well.

I've had vertigo but not for some time. It was AWFUL. I was on no meds at the time, and was otherwise perfectly healthy, so they couldn't figure it out. I had weeks of hanging on to the walls when I walked, I couldn't concentrate on anything. I tried the drug; it made things worse. I went to therapy; not much difference. Then, one day, it left me as suddenly as it came. Weird.

Good luck with treatment; I hope either something works quickly, or it goes away quickly. Laura (Laura's Babies on PT) has had quite a time with dizziness.

There is a type of physio therapy for positional vertigo that worked wonderfully for my mom and a neighbour's friend in Ontario - Blaser's Physiotherapy. Ask your doc if there is a practitioner in your area.

I went to a convention in LA last month and when I landed I had the worst vertigo. I had never experienced it so I didn't know what was happening. I could barely stand up but that really didn't stop me because it was the convention I was looking forward to for months, there were people I hadn't seen in forever or ever in real life (just talked to online) so basically I just took some Excedrin since that's what I had and fought through it. Luckily it was almost gone by the first day of the con.

It has stolen my life from me!
