[color=var(--ytd-comment-text-color)]I write you can I just want to hear your opinion regarding my case. [/color] - About a month and 15 days ago I had a really strong faringitis. I almost couldnt even speak. My ENT told me to have an injection of Duo-Decadron (Dexamethasone). - After that I recovered from my faringitis but started having a sore throat. For that my ENT prescribed me Curam (Amoxiciline) for 5 days which I took and also recovered from that. - About 5 days later I started having king of dizziness and lightheaded feeling and got really anxious and scared. I went to my ENT again and he made me run several test. I have done Skull CAT, 1 Mri of my ears, 1 MRI of my entire brian. After checking all of this tests everything looked quite normal (fortunately no tumors). At that time he sent me betahistine and Methylprednisolone for 7 days. - After taking that I really didnt found any relief so I went to my ENT again and had me run a VNT, Audiometry tests, and ENG tests. VNT test showed a really small nistagmus but that was it. Also I had blood tests checking and bacterias in my body and all type of Herpes. I got positive on Herpes I which is really benign and I have had since a child when I had chicken pox. - After that my ENT and infectologist sent me Valacyclovir just to try to reduce my virus but they tell that herpes isnt necesarilly causing my condition. Anyway I have had for almost 10 days 1 gr three times a day. Despite all this I still feel: - Lightheaded - Dizzy - Strange feeling on my left ear (fullness) - sensitive to sounds and lights Fortunatley I have never had that kind of vertigo that the rooms spins around you and that you just cant get up of your bed. Mainly my symptons have always been the ones mentioned above some days in stronger and others lighter conditio. Also I have not loss my hearing so my doctors have diagnosed me with Vestibular Neuritis. Ive been feeling like this for more than a month.. Does it really gets better? I am really anxious and dont now if its really gonna end some day. What else do you suggest me to do..I try to do all your excercises.. How is the recovery process of this.I only feel ok when I get out of bed in the morning.. I love to run outdoors for exercise, do you suggest me this?
