Lois, HUGS to you!  That's terrible!!

I have BPPV and I think we all know what's it's like to have our symptoms minimised or to find there's little to be done for us.  My symptoms were worse - and diverse like yours - about a year ago and over several months. I didn't have the whole list you do, but my hearing, brain fog, (worse than usual) numbness and my overwhelming fatigue were all related to a lack of B-12.  Once I started injections - well, after a few injections - I felt SO much better! 

If you haven't had blood tests lately, you may want to see your GP and sort out if you have any deficiencies.  I still have BPPV (and Raynaud's, a circulation disorder) but my quality of life is FAR better with the B12 I so needed!

GL!!

Hi Lois I had horrific vertigo in 1996 I had lyme disease and other tick born diseases. The blood tests are NOT reliable no matter what your primary dr may tell you. Because of your other symptoms I would suggest go to a lyme literate physician You can find one through ILADS on line. The only medication that helped me was valium It helped with the worst of it. Its a horrible thing to deal with but it will get better so hang in and get a lyme doctor to check it out. I was diagnosed with labrynthitis and menieres and it was lyme. God bless you

Oh, that all sounds horrible to have to try to cope with. Just wondering if it might be a kind of migraine. A migraine specialist neurologist would advise.

Hello Lois, 

I am so sorry to read about the miserable time that you are having.

I was diagnosed with Labyrinthitis nearly two years ago and have had many of the problems which you describe. I am waiting for a second referral to ENT but they were not much help first time round.

I have only found two things to help.

I do deep breathing if I feel dizzy.

I go for a neck snd shoulder massage. Check on the web and with your GP for free relaxation therapy. It also gets me out of the house.

The fact that both these things help me makes me think that anti-anxiety

treatment should be part of the cure. Obviously if you feel constantly unwell, dreading the next dizzy attack you can't relax.

I hope these ideas will help you. Please don't despair.You are not alone.

Lindy
