I've got vertigo

been having a woozy head for a while now. if i get up quickly or when i lay down. off goes the head. so went to the docs tonight. got some meds hopefully it will help. had it b4. he says if u have had it in the past it will come back. oh goodie
but not a pleasant feeling.

Poor you, have had it once and would like it never again!!
Hope the meds work and you feel better soon xx

Oh I know how you feel!! I had it twice so far and it's horrible!!! The medication didn't really help me and it lasted 6 weeks first time and 3 weeks second time! It actually made me fall over a couple of times.
Be careful if you're driving. I had to stop for a few days because when I turned my head too quick I started spinning!!
Hope it goes soon. Good luck with the meds xx

I sympathise.

I had problems for a few years - serious wobbles perhaps 4 or 5 days a month for a couple of years. The best way to describe it - it was like walking whilst on a ship or a ferry in rough seas.

I had numerous nuero tests, mri scans etc etc and they never really figured out what the cause was.

Labyrinthitis was suggested - has this been mentioned to you ?

I went for a thing called a Vestibular test. It doesn't help id the problem but it does allow the docs to measure how bad your balance / coordination is although it made me very sick.

Hope the medication helps as it's really not nice.

I have a mild form. Can't stand on anything a few feet above the ground without feeling woozy. Its not nice. You have my sympathy - hope it passes quickly.

That sounds horrible...I hope the meds work and you start to get back to normal very soon xxx

Hope you feel better soon. Gorden has suffered with this and it puts him too bed with the curtains drawn.

I have been having a woozy head for a couple of days and its not nice so I sympathize with you.

Oh yuck you have my full sympathy I have had it before where I had to crawl as it was the only way I could get around where I didnt fall over. Have had it periodically since then.
Hope the meds help.

the meds made me want to sleep. which i have done this afternoon.i had it about 20 odd yrs ago. and i felt like i was falling off the floor. was really horrible. the doc said if u had it b4 thers a chance it will come back. great.

I dont know what meds you are on but I was given one to stop the nausea and help me sleep, apparently there is nothing else you can do unless you find a reason for them.
BTW I thought we were trying to make you feel better but now you say we could get it again such a horrid feeling, it took me 3 goes at getting to the hospital the first time I had it and we were lucky to live 2 mins drive away.
I found laying at 45 degree angle was the best as you werent flat and it wasnt as bad when you had to get up.
Hope it clears up soon
