Does anyone have this annoying symptom
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hi everyone. I hope you're all having a good day. I'd like to ask you all something.
Does anyone go through a one-second episode of being dizzy (in addition to all your other symptoms)? It's like a split-second flash or shock where you're dizzy and it's over in an instant, if that makes sense. It's incredibly annoying and also very shocking. It happens a lot when I'm lying down, particularly when I'm reading. It's like falling into a hole and being yanked right back up, all in the space of 1 second. It makes my whole body jump and my arms and legs go flying in every direction and I'm alright again. It's like a friend hiding around a corner and just as you get there, they jump out at you. Anyone have this, or something similar? Also, if you do experience it, in addition to other things, can you please tell me:
- What you have been diagnosed with?
- Are you yet to be diagnosed?
Thanks everyone. My best too all.

I have been dizzy for 10 months now, and have finally been diagnosed with significant VOR loss on the right side. Started VRT 2 weeks ago. For now it only makes me feel slightly worse, but I hope that in about 2-3 months I will see improvement.

I know what you mean about the doctors. Perhaps they didn't pay attention to that chapter in class. I've had to tell doctors some of my unbelievable symptoms (I'd be praying they would know what I was talking about so they could help me) but they didn't know either. I even used to draw sketches to make it clearer for them, but still they hadn't heard of anything like it.
Anyways, best of luck with your treatment for BPPV.

I was thinking about how many times I had the Epley done - 18 visits, usually 2 times per ear, that's 72 (these were by the PTs). Then audiologist did it 5 times, neuro did it 9 times. So a little over 80. I lost count...
I also did it at home myself a few times a week for about 3 months They all told me they can be stuck on the "cupula" and hard to get free. Also they can keep coming even if you get the original ones back in place. These crystals are microscopic, so someimtes they take a while to settle, which can complicate things too.
Somewhere ijn there, about October I think, the left ear did get fixed. Took a few more tries to get the right one back to normal.
Did nothing else but drink a lot of fluids because there's a theory that being dehydrated can precipitate the condition. No pun intended!
Let us know!
