I am slowly going insane, everyday it's something or another. I was diagnosed with Labyrinthitis over a month ago, took antibiotics and 2 seperate time and no change. Almost every single day I'm dizzy, not a room spinning dizzy but a foggy mind, not real kind of dizzy. My anxiety has been off and on and it hits hard. I try to eat better but it's hard when I'm not the one buying the food because I'm not working right now so even eating gives me slight anxiety because I know if its high in salt its not going to help my situation. I just want to feel normal again! I have somehow developed (or maybe just noticing) a floater in my right eye, my vision gets blurry, I get headaches, my left eye seems to be more blurry than my right. I just don't know. My sleeping is horrible too, I close my eyes and I get dizzy, I wake up and I get dizzy, I have anxious thoughts that I know are false and outrageous but they are still there. I have no idea what to do. I get either anxious, sad, or p*ssed off. Today its a matter of all 3 honestly I just don't even know. I have a an appointment with a neurologist tomorrow but can't see a dang ENT until the 28th of next month. This is stupid!
You are not going insane. You are just finding it unbelievably hard to cope with your situation. See what the neurologist says tomorrow and if the situation doesn't get any better return to your GP and explain the situation to him. It's a shame that you have such a long wait for an ENT, sadly a lot of people are in similar situations when it comes to hospital appointments but you're right it's stupid. You say you know that your anxious thoughts are false and outrageous so bare that in mind when you see the neurologist - be open and don't hold back when it comes to answering questions. Good Luck and let us know how you get on.
I'm.the same and also has same inner issue. Alot of what u mention I suffer with its labrinthutus. The inner ear gets damaged it's a sensory organ so it's normal for eye to go whacky etc as your body sensory organs are working harDeR..in time it retrains and u will Be ok. I suffer on and off for years. Its from a viral. I try to drink plenty water and eat regalar. Head aches make it worse and top much tele and not enough sleep. It does improve and I know it's very scary but u need to keep telling your self your ok. Ibe been to ent and they explained it all to me and it makes sense. But it does get better over tiMe. It Does send my anxity high when I'm dizzy but i learnt to just take to bed and rest and then it eases
Keep ur mind busy and plenty water and you must be strong until thjngs settle.
Ent do tests and chat about thjngs then most likely need VTR it's great it's meant to improve things by 75per. It's judr like special movement and exercises. my ent gave me there website labrinthutus. org. I'm uuseless at spelling as my phone does some sort of spell check thjng on tbis website for some reason I can't amend anything.
But the folk that run fhe Web are normal folk who had lab and they explain everything and ot helps understand. It's also tells how they are fully ok And about how VTR helped them on there journey. Keep strong for now. I'm the exact same a nervous wreck and feel am going crackers haha but folk who go crackers most likely won't about it like us. Keep positive for now and u really will be ok don't worry.
