How to describe the Meniere's feeling ?
Posted , 4 users are following.
Recently I was a passenger in the front seat of a car. We were stopped in traffic with cars and a semi truck on either side also in front of us and cars behind.
Suddenly the semi truck on the left side seemed to start moving and I had the sensation that I was moving Backwards. I don't know that ithe truck was actually moving but it struck me that this is the sensation of vertigo I have during a Meniere's attack. I have had this feeling several times over the years while in a car... long before I was diagnosed with Bilateral Meniere's 4 years ago.
I then mentioned this to a couple of friends. One said "Oh that is an awful feeling".
The other had never had it happen.
So far my Meniere's has been minor in compared to what many are enduring.
Mostly happens if I move too fast and so far goes away when I sit still. I do bump into
walls and furniture at times too
Nancy who finds it odd that spell check doesn't recognize the word Meniere's. !!

i even get vertigo getting out of the car,I can’t look sideways, even to see if traffic is coming when crossing the road, I have to turn my whole body. People must think I have Dementia because I hold my body straight when walking and only move my eyes.I must look sort of empty.I know I feel it!I even have trouble getting on and off escalators or yesterday, walking over a river bridge, by husband had to drag me over. I couldn’t cope wth the gaps in the bridge showing the water underneath.my head started to spin!
