Ok..... just an update on my condition, all started in october severe vertigo attacks room spinning and stuff......Saw ENT specialist basically no good so i asked my gp to refer me to an nuero ocologist in london which he did had various test done and was diagnosed with vestibular neuritis this brings me up to now so here goes

I have had no severe vertigo since December but have not been right since .......... some days i feel good had a few weeks where i felt i was over it completely then the last few weeks feel like ive gone back 2 months very light headed foggy head feel like ive got a rubber band around the lower part of my head and i dont know why this is happening is it all part of this illness or have i got BPPV back again im so fed up with this that im becoming depressed with it. Feel like i need to blow my head up to cleasr all the thick foggy sensation.

im going for some VRT soon but from what i can gather there very hit and miss.

I just need to know whether wham im feeling is normal or have i got something else as i dont really suffer from any balance issues .

Any advice or personal experiances then please post as im feeling my life is over as i used to know it

    Steve!! Mine started same!!! October.

    Blurred vision & dizziness was like wat the hell. Went dr they threw anti depressants @ me tried em they made me go mad. So came off them demanded c good dr and ENT my ears were fine he said try beta blockers I'm on them now ( 3weeks I think now ) no difference at all so far ( I know gotta wait abit ) I also go counselling as like you I feel depressed I feel what u mean I wanna rip you're head off and throw it!!

    No wonder you get depression can hear where you're coming from. Will be seeing my dr soon for check up will ask to be refered somewhere that deals with dizziness.

    Good luck! Chin up! I hope it gets easier for us all x
