Dizziness....what's moving, you or the environment???

I tried making a thread about this before, but I think the way I was describing this was a little too complicated for most people. So, I'll just put it this way.....If you are dealing with 24/7 dizziness, which is what I am most interested in, what do you feel is moving, YOU or the environment around you??

For me, it's absolutely the environment around me, even though when I close my eyes, I can still "sense" the environment moving. It does this to me by this insidious "shifting" sensation where it appears to me that the entire world is just floating around. "floating" is probably a better word than "Shifting" I guess. the world just floats off in all directions and I can't keep gaze on anything. IT IS THE MOST ANNOYING THING I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. Along with this, there is a "hazy" way that my eyes tend to focus on the world as a result, and even though everything is clear, and I can read 20/20 on the eye charts, to me, nothing is ever crystal "clear".

Feel free to respond regardless of which type you have, but I am most interested in those of you with the same experience. If you respond, please let us know your diagnosis or what you think you have. It is THOUGHT that I have migraine associated vertigo brought on by severe anxiety. Although I have some pressure-related dizziness as well that makes me feel like "I" am moving but these attacks only come on during times where I am exposed to pressure differences. Yup, already evaluated for SSCD and Fistula,...NOTHING! So I am clueless about this. Anyway, that's the topic. I AM PRAYING FOR THIS SHIFTING TO GO AWAY. Oh, by the way, the environment appears totally normal while driving, or if I am moving. But as soon as I stop, the shifting/floating comes back. I HATE THIS!!!!

The environment, hands down. And it is much better when I am moving or driving as well.

I really disliked that feeling of the world moving...it was as if the ground was marshmellowy!!!! I don't have this symptom anymore, except an extremely light version of movement if I have overloaded my system with triggers!!!

What kind of triggers? I have noticed that marshmellowy feeling has only been happening in the shower lately, which makes for a miserable shower... but before I had it a lot more often. I'm not sure what I did differently...

Re: Dizziness....what's moving, you or the environment???

That was my main symptom after getting past the acute phase. The world was constantly shifting. Turned out my eyes couldn't on anything for more than 2-3 seconds at a time when I finally had them assessed by a developmental optometrist. So the inability to focus in combo with a non-functional VOR made my world constantly in motion, 24/7, yes even with eyes closed. My diagnosis was VN and I treated it with a combo of vision therapy and VRT. Oh, and I always had 20/20 vision too and no true oscilopisa, meaning it wasn't worse when I was moving. In the last stages of my recovery this shifting became more and more subtle until it stopped for good.
