Well back to ENT specialist today not sure what to say to him as ive reached the point where i dont think it will ever subside not had no major dizzy attacks for 3 weeks now but just lightheaded and feel blocked up when this happens some days fine others bad like today so wish me luck!!
Good luck Steve, hope it goes well and you get some answers.
Yea i wont hold my breath though!!
I know what you mean, neither will I cos' it's all a bit of a mystery and i never really got a definitive answer but still remain tilting/dizzy some days
yea im more lightheaded and sometimes fuzzy not sure theese are symptons of vertigo!!
yes think so, i also get wonky vision where i can't get my eyes to focus properly.
Steve , Vertigo is the symptom, not the cause. If you feel
dizziness or fuzzy head,that causes you to feel unbalanced or any kind of
Disequilibrium, the. They need to tell whAt is causing it, ie Ménière's,s disease, BPPV, Nystagmus, Vestibular neuritis, etc etc.
Hi Gillian well what a waste of time that was he has dischrged me as he does knot know what it is after telling me i had BPPV the last time i saw him
As the violent dizzy spells have gone and just left feeling light headed sometimes and glassy eyed with a feeling of a full fluffy head sounds mad but true.
He has suggested seeing a neurologist now as he thinks its not an ENT problem !!
Wat a joke!!
this was how i was left feeling. The week i went back for my appointment i felt a lot better and was discharged. A week later it returned.
Good luck steve we are here hoping you get some kind of solution I know how you feel this is the pits let is know
Yes I am not surprised, ENT,s are useless for our problem as I have found out and have wasted 4 years!, of my time! If you tell them you are feelin so much as. Tiny bit better That,s,it,,goodbye, sign you off,,more room for another patient to do,the same to! Actually they have done you a favour believe me. ,Yes you should,see a Neuro, but a Neuro Otologist, as I have done and don,t settle for anything less, get on line and Google for Neuro otologists in your area, nd then you should see which hospitals,they operate out of. I am not saying they re all good,either so,check reviews,if you can then when you'be one you like the sound of, go to,your gp, and TELL (not ask!) you want to be referred to this person/hosp with Neuro OTOLOGY dept! They cannot,refuse you, especially as thenENT bod has suggested it, which you make sure to remind your GP about! Good,luck and get researching!
I feel the same way. I haven't been able to find any answers. I am glad my bad days are fewer now though. It has been over a year and I think I am where I am going to be. The hardest part is not being able to drive and am pretty much house bound as a result.
Wow linda that is bad i suppose i should be grateful i can still drive sometimes and get out the house
Have they said what you have wrong with you ?
Cheers Gillian i will ask my gp to refer me but after reading peoples problems on this forum you do sometimes wonder if things will ever resolve them selves!!
Vestibular neuritis. Still I am very lucky I did not loose any hearing and I am still able to move about the house.
