Labrynthitis+Feeling Weak & Sick - Inner Ear Disorders Message Board

Is feeling weak and sick (malase) a normal symptom of Viral Lab? My ears are constantly crackling and popping when I swallow also. The ENT specialist says the crackling will stop once the virus passes but I find that hard to believe. I also have tremors and feel really sick and weak when these tremors occur.
Can anyone relate to this? If anyone has been through this, how long will it take to be well again?

Hi Concerned.
Sorry to hear you are not well.

My ears crackle. From March to August it was constant. Now it is only every once in a while.
I get tremors as well, but I think it is just my nerves getting the best of me.

It's hard to tell how long it will last. For some it goes away quickly in a few weeks, for others it is many months. It all depends on your ability to compensate.

Hang in there!! You will get better.

Hi...yes I was very tired and weak with L'itis, my ears made odd noises like yours too, still do from time to time, my advice is do vestibular exercises (will post them on a new thread in a mo) and religiously stick to them. I had the shakes too, all part of the virus...Good luck, hope you improve soon xxx

Thanks for your replies. I was feeling pretty good on Monday and Tuesday. I bought a nasal irrigation machine to clean out my sinuses and on Wednesday night and today I felt terrible. My head was killing me, tremors after a car ride that last for hours, and dizzy when trying to focus on something. Even typing and reading right now is making me slightly motion sick. Does anyone know if the salt solution in the nasal irrigation machine might have caused me to be sick again or am I just having a bad couple of days?
This monster is getting me really down because I don't know how long this virus will last. Does anyone know any over the counter medication to relieve symptoms and possibly fight this virus quicker?
