I had 3 good days. Then today on my way home from work, it all started, the anxiety, the vision seemed off, then by the time I hit home, the sensations started, while cooking the falling back feeling, the neck and upper back and shoulders started to ache. While sitting I feel like I'm going to fall back, now when I look around it looks like the room is rocking back and forth. This is constantly changing, for months it's one thing then something new. How are you suppose to know if it's something worse than MAV? I can't keep running to the doctor, it's out of control. While I had the good days I did feel anxious and afraid but as soon as this garbage starts it all comes back. I don't see this ever getting better, it's only getting worse. I can't stand this constant moving, falling, leaning sensations. I'm so angry and frustrate and I know that's not helping, but everytime I move everything is off. I guess I'm going to have to take the nortriptyline, I honestly thought I could out think this anxiety and fear but it a kays wins.

    You may want to look into mal de debarquement (MdDs). I somehow got this weird sensation, moving, rocking etc. My best advice is to relax though as stress will only make it worse. Valium, sleep, ssri. Whatever to get yourself not too worked up. It WILL get better.

      Did you have the rocking/swaying feeling? I tried no gluten, no sugar, no dairy for a month and while I felt better, I still had the motion feeling.
