I have posted before. Last April i starte having chronic vertigo and dizziness. I starte taking Mexlizine, which helped a little but not enough. 

I stopped taking a beta blocker and that seemed to help. By August, I was able to getnput of bed and for a few motnths, I was able to function a little. 

I startd getting worse again in February and now I am bedridden again. 

I have not been able to get an MRI because I cannot lie flat. We don’t have any stand up MRI locations close enough. I am foing out of my mind!  I cannot endure this anymore!  I cannot get testing. I could have MS or a brain tumor!  I live in a constant state of amxiety and  I feel horrible all the time. I can’t live out the test of my existence like this!  I also have VERY nad allergies and I won’t take anything for fear that the dizziness will be worse but at the same time, all the sinis pressure could be exacerbating the problem. 

I also have a serious shoulder imjury whoch needs attention and I can’t tend ro that either. That happened in March and I may never regain full usenof my dominant arm if i cannot get an MRI for that and follow up with the necessary treatment. 

I’ve had medical issues my entire life and this is just too much to handle!

    I definitely have extreme allergies but I don’t know if i actually have a sinus infection.  I could check into that.

      After going to a lot of different doctors and them even sending me to a dentist saying I was grinding my teeth at night getting a mouthgard. I took steroids and anxiety meds. I thought I was gonna die. I almost gave up. Get your hands on some antibotics and see what happens. Its worth a try.
