I am currently waiting to see a ent. I have been to a few doctors who prescribed me serc and Zofran. I have had vertigo for a few months now. At first, it was all the time but now it is coming in waves daily. I get severe vertigo, lightheadedness, tinnitus, nausea and I have not been able to sleep in a few days. Laying down is horrible. I get hit with vertigo so bad and I almost fall when I stand up. I am so tired. I can not sleep on my side or even flat. I am so tired and depressed.
Versuchen Sie, in einem Relax-Sessel zu schlafen, das mache ich jetzt seit etwa zwei Jahren, denn ich weiß, dass es besser ist, als im Bett zu liegen!
Oh, Lianne. I feel so sorry for you.. The long wait to see your ENT and the constant vertigo must be excruciating. Are you on any sedative? If not, please consider asking your regular doctor for something like Ativan...1mg/3 times a day. Ativan will help calm the nerves in your ears from sending "bad" signals to the brain which causes vertigo. It will also calm you down all over so you can function better. Initially Ativan will make you drowsy which should help you sleep.
Best of luck to you and let us know how you are doing....we care about you!
Hi Tanney,
Thank you for the advice. I will see my Doctor and ask her.
Lianne, du musst beginnen, Dinge auszuprobieren, die helfen, keine Salz, viel Wasser, Betahistamin, Blindgehen, Kopfdrehen. Diese Krankheit ist etwas, dem du mit all deiner Kraft widerstehen musst, und achte auf die Depression, denn sie tritt bei einem großen Prozentsatz der Fälle auf. Ich wünschte, jemand hätte mir vor eineinhalb Jahren helfen können. Bleibe informiert und sei in allen Aspekten von Ménière und Depression proaktiv, denn diese Krankheit verändert das Leben, aber eine frühzeitige Intervention ist extrem wichtig. Wir sind alle hier, um zu helfen, denn wir kennen diese Geschichte.
Hi James,
Thank you for your help. I will look into those treatments.
I went to my Doctor she gave me Ativan for a week. It worked so well, I actually had a life. Too bad she won't give me any more. She says it is not good for long term use
