Brain fog, dizziness, vision problems, head pressure, headache PLEASE HELP

I never had the sudden onset of spinning, I had a bad ear pain for 1 week that led to me noticing my eyes were off. 

Hey guys,

I just wanted to share my experience, been having problem with my balance since 2016.

Long story short, problem with my balance I think after possibly a panic attack- I decided to try atlas adjustment, tried Atlas profilax which kinda helped but you only do 1 session. Now I am on a Nucca chiro treatment and starting to feel better but it takes time, I used to have these coordination and dizziness problems, would feel disoriented for a second or two when I turn my head, look down or had people moving fast around me. Not saying that I am 100% better but I am hopeful and I learnt that chiropractors crack your neck to release the joints but it doesn't work for me. So if you decide to give it a go, try a Nucca specialist as they don't do anything that dangerous. It takes time and is a more expensive treatment but it may help!

Long post but please read. Out of curiosity, and I hope a few people read this all and respond 😊

So basically I had a mental breakdown two years ago and got all the symptoms were talking about here, but I was recoving over two years, until 2 months ago when I was put on beta blockers for my anxiety and then given super strong antibiotics for a wisdom tooth infection and my symptoms got soooo much worse to the point that they are debilitating. So I did some research because I was not feeling right at all, so dissociated, so confused, no memory, dizzy, pressure in my head, ears that will not pop at all, just a few of my symptoms tbh. At first I had no idea what was happening and why, at the start of me taking the antibiotics my symptoms got SO much worse. So firstly I looked up the beta blockers, because I wasn't feeling 100% normal when I first started taking them, i was feeling very out of it, but still functioning to a certain extent, and the side effects cause dizzyness, disassociation, depression losing touch with reality, hallucinations, paranoia, blurred vision, and that was literally writen in the packet of my beta blockers in the side effects. So I stopped taking them, and then I read up on the antibiotics, because for me I felt even more crippled with symptoms within two days of taking them, to the point that I could not get out of bed, I was ready to die, and I was on amoxocillin three times a day, and an antibiotic called metronidazole three times a day at the same time, so I looked at the side effects of those antibiotics, which were dizzyness, blurred vision, pressure in head, depression, inner ear damage, disassociation, which are severe side effects, which I always seem to suffer from no matter what because I am hypersensitive to medication, and always have been, unfortunately. I had no idea, but you can get antibiotic toxicity. Which can damage your inner ear and cause neurological damage which sounds like every symptom we all suffer from. Now, I know in my life time I have taken AT LEAST 30 sets of antibiotics for severe kidney infections, bacterial infections, sinus infections, toncillutis etc, and when I had my mental breakdown two years ago, I had been given 3 lots of antibiotics in quick succession and an operation the week before I started suffering from severe mental issues, which I had never suffered from before. I was recovering from my mental breakdown slowly but well, until this year when I got really ill with a cold/suspected sinus infection and, you guessed it, got prescribed antibiotics, and then I started going down hill, my depression came back, my anxiety started ramping up, but I had no idea that they might have caused it, i assumed I was just getting down because of other issues (which is also likely and exacerbated it) so of course my doctor prescribed adrenalin suppressing beta blockers to combat the depression and anxiety which were flaring up out of nowhere, because I honestly was happy, unfortunately the beta blockers made my symptoms so much worse by dangerously lowering my blood pressure, causing dizzyness, severe depression, severe disassociation, confusing and memory loss, whilst I was on them I was also given two sets of the strongest antibiotics to take at the same time and that is when I went completely down hill, that I couldnt even sit up, that all I could think about was killing myself, that I couldn't even cry. Now, this is just my theory, but I'm curious to see if there is any corrolation between all of our stories. Have any of the people here on this forum, that have these symptoms, taken a lot of antibiotics in their lifetime? Or recently to the start of your symptoms? Within a few months? Because toxicity can take time to develop, it doesn't just happen over night. I'm literally just curious, I'm not in anyway condoning people taking antibiotics, just voicing my story and seeing if anyone else can shed some light on my theory? Currently I am still debilitated from my symptoms, but I'm off all medication and know it can take a long time to recover so I'm trying to be patient and let my body heal naturally, let my gut microbiology renew and let my brain try and figure itself out again. Thanks for reading and I'm interested to hear back from you all.

I know how important gut bacteria is, i know antibiotics are bad for you, but I honestly had no idea that they can cause brain toxicity, which does clear up as long as you stay away from antibiotics but also can cause permanent damage especially to the inner ears. And especially the antibiotic metronidazole (although a whole host of them are dangerous, but of course some don't, and it also depends how easily crossed your blood/brain barrier is) which is widely known to cause toxicity, especially to the inner ear and brain stem causing neurological damage. Which Im now pretty sure I was given after my operation to prevent infections. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3175508/

So for my research I asking have you all taken many antibiotics in your life time? Not if they are bad for you etc, just have you taken them many times and if so can you remember what?

Could it not be possible that a few of us at least with inner ear, dizzyness, blurred vision, insomnia, depression, anxiety, mental confusion, disassociation, brain fog etc, etc, etc, could be down to the fact that at some point, or several times over, we've been given antibiotics which can actually cause brain damage? Mental health issues are on the rise, and antibiotics are being abused, I am literally just trying to figure out if all of our stories have 1 thing in common.

Thanks 😊

Also just to add, I have been to the ENT last week for my ears, I was told they a lovely ears, my hearing and everything is fine, and if It gets worse to come back, but I still cannot pop my ears or equalise pressure, and no doctor seems to really understand or care or believe my symptoms, even my own family struggle to understand what I feels like for me. So I figured that alot of Doctors really have no idea how it all works which is why I'm doing my own research and trying to make some sort of case study. Sorry to be a pain guys, just trying to find a reason ??
