4 weeks

Hi Guys

I have had a very unusual 4 weeks. Dare I say the dizziness has been manageable for 4 straight weeks now. No real ups and downs intensity wise which is odd. There appears to be a consistency to the level of dizziness I am currently experiencing. Yes I wake up dizzy and go to bed dizzy but the dizziness remains pretty much at a constant (lesser) level all day long. If you have read my earlier posts or know a little about about my last ten years you will be aware that this simply isn't my usual daily experience. Days normally start off bad then gradually get worse as the evening sets in. Perhaps I will get a couple of days here or there or maybe a few random hours when symptoms lessen but for no real significant time period. Four weeks straight is the longest period in over 10 years. I'm feeling more optimistic of course and hoping that maybe I have finally turned a corner ( I have said this before I know). It's weird because I don't like to mention it since I don't want to jinx myself but I think it's worth mentioning after the hell that I have been through and for any of you guys out there who have been dealing with an insane level of disorientation and dizziness day after day, year after year with no hope in sight. Anyway who knows how it's all going to turn out. I will just have to wait and see.

The only thing that has changed in my life is that I am no longer taking any medication after several years of doing so. Coincidence? I don't know.

Other news I have is that I am finally being referred back to an ophthalmologist once again to get those abnormal eye movements of mine further investigated. I just pray they examine me fully. It's taken absolutely ages to move forward in this particular direction but I should have some news in the coming months.I will let you know if my peepers are causing or contributing to the dizziness I experience and tell you of any possible solutions suggested.

I mentioned in my last post that I was experimenting with magnesium. After 3 months of doing so I can say that I didn't feel any benefits. Doesn't mean any of you guys shouldn't try it though since it works for some.

So there you have it.....keep strong guys

  1. Hi, I think you should consult a neurotologist along with ophthalmologist. Nyastagmus - that is what involuntary rapid eye movement is called; indicates clearly where does the problem lie that is causing dizziness. Dixx-Hallpike test is one such test many ENT specialists, neurotologists and others use to diagnose the cause of vertigo. You may benefit from reading or visiting here: https://www.neuroequilibrium.in/ . It has chain of clinics to treat various balance disorders. The team of vertigo specialists here are experienced well in treating dizziness and associated discomfort like loss of focus, cognitive disturbance etc. Hope you get relief from dizziness soon. And many others who are going through this..
