Hi peeps still suffering with constant dizziness feel like a recluise in my own home desperate to try anything to help with it been 4years now wish it would give me a break missing loads of precious time with my grandchildren breaks my heart feeling really low

Hi Alison,sorry to hear this. I know what it's,like. I cant remember what yours was 'diagnosed' as (i say that tongue in cheek, haha). Can you remind me in nutshell??

They don't really know seen soany specialists it's in between mennieres and migraine they really need to look further into dizziness cos it's ruining ppls lives and the drs don't know anything about it or how to cure it x

I agree with you there. I've had 7 yrs of b...y so called specialists. I think the  medical,fraternity dont want to spend money on research for it.,so fob us off with pills that dont work, exercises that don't work, CBT and Anxiety counselling. Niw i'm older i get the 'getting old' thing'!! I point out that 7 yes

ars  ago it was the same, so nothing to do with it!

Really aggitates me I've just about give up I got no fight left x

I totally agree with you Alison it really interferes with your life...I'm thinking of giving up my job because of Menieres I've had that much time off

Do you receive disability allowance? I have looked up and Menieres Disease is a disability so I am going to try for it

Good Morning Alison,

Have you seen a doctor?  Some ENTs know how to deal with "dizziness"  but I have found that Neurologists are better equipped to accurately diagnose dizziness maladies.  Some forms of dizziness can be treated with therapy while others will respond to medicine.  A good practitioner will be able to tell you which you have and stop your dizziness.

I have seen a neuro surgeon ent ,audiologist every GP in my surgery I seen the top man from e.n.t and no 1got a clue x

I aslo saw all those. The Nuerologist is really more to do,with the brain functions only, as i,learned. You need,to see a Neuro,Otologist as they deal,with the vestibular system, which is mainly where our problems stem from.

Hi gillian....problems of this sort can also be related to the central nervous system as they were with me. In this case it is more of a rheumatology/vasculitis specialist you need to see as I did.

Can you ask to see a nuero otologist on the NHS ? X
