Hey Lorr, Em and Fighter & Dizzies,

Lorr
See what I mean!! This darn dizzy thing changes course a little just when you think things are improving!! Do not dispair it will wear off again. I have soo been there and done thats. But it never fails to make me feel anxious!

Why do you call your vrt dept. I am sure that they will do the epley for ya - heck you could give it a try cause its a misery feeling that way.

I am thinkin of you - cause I know how miserable it is . But as you know you have felt a whole bunch better before so you will again.

Em
I wonder if there is a bppv element to your symptoms - apparently bppv does not just make you feel dizzy now and again it gives rise to all the symptoms we have 24/7. What do u think?

I spoke to the vrt chap yesturday on the phone - went over ALL my symptoms again.....lol......for reasurance really. He was like thats great theat the epley helped and he was confident that we would do another epley next week - he said he thought he new were the crystals were. Apparently the crystals can get trapped into different canals (not just one) owuhhhhhhhhh. Any how he said all my symptoms were risidual symptoms and will lift. Yippee - but its like NOW would be good.

You know I can hardly remeber whats its like to feel free.......honestly.....weird.

One of the most buggin things with this type of problem is that you have no clue as to when its gonna be bad and when its gonna be easier to cope with. I find that annoying cause its hard to plan much.

I tell you the main thing that has improved for me since havin the epley - its the imbalance that feels alot less severe and unplaesant. Also I can look up without feelin real dizzy and I can stand for much longer. But I still find it unpleasant to say in converstaion to hold my head turned, or when I look at objects they still seem to shift no matter how hard I try to steady my gaze, but the room in general seems still, the feelin of self motion has also settled greatly - perhaps why the balance generally feels better. But I still have the very unpleasant feelin that the sensations of movement do not match what I have done.....hard to explain. Sometimes when I have bent over and stood up I then feel like I am bending over again...ouhghhhhhh.....what am I like!! Its weird I find when I am at a road junction I hate havin to look left and right and left again - not so much dizzy just unplaesant.

Oh asked about the fizzy/buzzin/moving feelin in my head and again typical of vestibular upset as with the bouncin object and all.

Heck what a blether (scots term meaning shes talkin and talkin and talking......lol). So guys hope you are ok - sooooo lookin forward to when this is but a memeory.
