Hi brina,
I had that constant moving sensation for a long time with the labyrinthitis. There is no real answer for making it go away unfortunately! Sometimes I actually felt better if I physically rocked whilst sitting - I thought it would help 'trick' my brain into thinking that the sensation was because I was moving, although this did not always help, as sometimes I just felt too nauseous to even move. Do you have a rocking chair? Sounds crazy, but might help. Sometimes lying down also helped for me, but obviously don't do this too much as you need to keep moving to compensate. I do understand how horrible it can make you feel. I got to the point where I couldn't remember what it felt like to feel still. It is also frustrating in that people cannot 'see' it. I had various types of sensation - rocking, swinging, bouncing, swaying, pulling to one side. Does yours fluctuate? Sometimes I actually felt better if I flicked through a magazine, as it took my mind off it a little, but other times the vertigo was so bad that I couldn't read at all. Another thing I found was that the rocking sensation would always be harder to bear when I was sat at the dining table, as my feet don't touch the floor when I am sat on our dining room chairs (am only 5 foot 3) and consequently would feel much more drunk and unstable whilst eating my dinner, so I reverted to eating my dinner on a tray on my lap, where my feet felt firm on the ground! Sounds potty, but it did at least help a little. Is it making you nauseous? Had many days where I felt really sick - drank a lot of peppermint tea to help that. Hang in there, the constant movement does start to diminish over time........
