That,s,great news Kathleen! hOwever I,me sure I am stuck with mine now after 5 Years!
Pauline do you have BPPV ? And if so did he not send you to some one to deal with it and do the Epley ? Since I've had the Omniax Chair which is way more advance to the Epley I don't have to take drugs anymore . Some only need the Epley and its all fixed! That's only if you have BPPV! vestibulare migraines is another story as I have both !
I now have constant ringing in my ears that won't go away! 😁
Hi Iona,how long have you had the ringing?I had that for 3 days non stop and sometimes on and off now but mine mostly comes when I'm stressing over my dizziness or if I have a cold,I started hearing a bleeping noise like a alarm clock then a dull buzzing sound,it kept me awake so I ended up leaving TV on all night to drown out the noise, lisa
you both are talking about Tinnitus. lOts,of,us with this problem have it as well,as the dizziness. I actually had the tinnitus a few years before the vestibular,problem,,somi guess t,s all connected. I have tinnitus 24/7!
I have it 24/7 also. I am being fitted for hearing aids next week and supposedly that will help. I am hoping.
Let,us know how that goes. I am not deaf enough for hearing aids so don,t think I,ll be able,to get one.
Hi,my ex mother in law has had tinnitus for a year then she got given hearing aids and after 6 months she has got rid of it so no more sleeping next to a loud ticking clock to drown the noises out,might not work for everyone but it did for her and she hasn't got hearing issues,lisa
I will. We haven't decided whether to start with just one or go for both at the same time. I am worried that 2 will be overwhelming. I have had significant hearing in my right ear since my teens due to a ruptured eardrum. I was able to compensate by having a good left ear and lip reading. After months of problems with my left ear, I bought an As Seen On TV hearing amplifier which helped but is crap for quality. I can't wait to try the real deal.
Hi Lisa - Im afraid you do get migraines for six weeks, its called silent migraine, where you get all the neurological disturbances but without the headache. Ive had my silent migraine, or MAV now for three years without let up. I didnt believe it at first but having seen endless ENT a neuro surgeon and now got two neurologists, I realise it is the right diagnosis. I have text book symptoms of dizziness, pins and needles on top of head, ears feel full, cheek hurts, chin can hurt, sometimes eyes feel blurry and pulled out, pain in back of head and front of head. Nose feels pressurised, ear pain. This all comes and goes but the dizziness stays unfortunately. Ive tried so many tablets, beta blockers, epilepsy stuff, betashistine, but nothing will shift it. It just started one day and has stayed ever since. There are a few different things you can get all to do with your vestibular system and its sorting out whats what. The MRI is to rule out anything suspicious. You just have to keep trying stuff and see how it goes. I hope you get some relief / answers soon.
Hi Paula,sounds like my symptoms you described, the ent doctor did give me beta blockers and some other pills for a silent migraine but I'm badly anaemic and lacking vitamin d so was wondering if they are making my dizziness worse or something is causing all these problems, my pressure in the head is so bad today,vision on right is slow and can't focas,it feels like its all coming from my right side,lisa
yEp me too!! You can take Feverfew which is a natural headache remedy, but you take it every day with or without a headache the audiologist tried me in it but as I don,t have the MAV it didn,t help. aLso I am now trying Ginkgo Biloba (Drops) as tit,s meant to be good for the brain!!
lIsa, Beta blockers are evil things! Probably are making it worse. Try not taking the.pm For a few days at least and see how you feel. What were the pillls hegav you for the silent migraine?
