Labyrinthitis/ Vestibular Neuritis...Please Help

Hi guys, hopefully i get a quick reply to my story, ok so 6 months ago i accidentally smoked some weed then ended up in a massive panic attack which made me feel spaced i only remember certain parts of the night) then a couple days later i  was playing my video games like usual (with a headset on pretty loud like usual) then out of nowhere i had this weird feeling in my head almost like my brain couldnt concentrate and my vision kept feeling weird like it couldnt focus and my eyes are weird like when i look at lights i see a bright beam or glare coming off them and if i look at a tv or something, like the channel logo has like a blurred double at the top and a blurred double at the bottom, and my eyes flicker to adjust to light levels and they cant focus .. like my vision is perfect but my eyes cant lock onto objects (does that make sense to you?) and my eyes see trails like if i swing my arm up and down i see a blurred trail following it.. same with like the lit part of a ciggarette makes trails aswell if i wave it around, does anybody else have these kind of symptoms with their eyes? anyway my eyes are now always shaky from my dizziness(wooziness) as of about 5 weeks ago i have had every test done and they couldnt find anything so they said it was psychosomatic and they through me into a mental health ward for 2 weeks and all the tests were negative, but about 2 weeks before they put me in there my eyes randomly just stopped being able to focus, now they shake and see trails and flicker to adjust to light and they have they also have like little flickering beams like fireflies almost.. and its hard to concentrate on anything

while i was in the mental health ward i went to lay down then when i went to get back up i had a random vertigo attack and fell to the floor, it only lasted like 10 seconds, but ever since i have had dizziness(like constant spinning/wooziness) which seems to get gradually worse each day (did this happen to anybody else? and does it ever stop getting worse) its almost to the point where i cant sleep or eat( constantly feels like im moving or the lounge im laying on in slanted or moving) anybody else have this feeling too? the dizziness is constant and when i lay my head to the left i get a little hit of vertigo for a few seconds everytime(is that normal?) and ever since my eyes went out of focus my ears have been constantly ringing and it seems as though the ringing grows louder as the dizziness grows worse,i also notice that the ringing in the ears kind of pulsates sometimes or will get really loud and piercing when my heart beats hard after eating or whatever..

since i got home the dizziness has been growing each day and im just wondering if it sounds like labrynthitis? and the dizziness(moving around constantly/woozi feelings is there no matter which way i stand or sit or lay and my eyes feel shaky and wont lock on to objects(focus) and my ears are constantly ringing like a loud piercing buzz (on occassion it makes this little crackling noise .. kind of like when u first put the milk in rice bubbles or rice pop cereal (that crackling noise they make) and is it just me or does looking at moving objects or tvs and stuff make ur head feel worse like its going to burst into a vertigo attack?? kind of like the brain sees movement then makes ur head feel those movements if that makes sense, anyway i basically just try to lay down most of the time because i dont want to make it worse, but it seems to get worse each day anyway, it feels like the floor moves underneath me when standing still and does anybody else notice that it feels worse if u close your eyes or take a deep breath? and does anybody else have dizzy spell attacks when laying down with eyes closed? kind of like, youll take a random breath and u randomly just feel like your spinning around in random directions almost as if your flipping uncontrollable ?

does anybody else have all these symptoms constantly? and if so does it sound like labrynthitis?

And also does anybody else feel like screens and moving objects make it feel worse? l;ike a vertigo attack is about to come on? and do you have visual oddness(disturbances like mine)

Thanks

Yours Sincerely. Blain C

Reading through this thread, it looks like people have spent a lot of time (and money!) getting additional tests to figure out exactly which one they have. Seems to me the treatment and end result is about the same...so wondering...is there any benefit (other than maybe more peace of mind in just KNOWING what the heck is wrong and why?) in going down the road to confirm a diagnosis one way or another? 

Also it sounds like if I need or want additional help beyond PT that my next step is a neurologist...is that right? I was thinking ENT but reading all of these stories is making me feel otherwise. 

Thanks!  And thank you to all of the posters, although it's kind of disheartening to know that I could be dealing with this for months, it is good to read this and know that I'm not crazy and I'm not alone.

Looking for some reassurance, comfort I guess.

I am male and 42

Doctor believes I may have labyrinthitus, have an ENT appointment in 6 weeks, not been well for going on 8 weeks in total, not including the symptoms I have suffered off and on six months leading in. (Feeling of being drunk hung over but not having had a drink, one episode of strangest feeling in the head of going to pass out, black out, dizziness feeling, lasting about an hour, have also suffered tinitus, deafness last few years and suffer bad sinus infections last two years around March)

Current situation came on after massive anxiety stress attack, because of symptoms leading up to current situation and some other circumstances I guess

Had wonky strange feeling in head, dizzyness balance issues when walking or turning my head, constant nausea, struggling to eat, popping ear, head pressure, ears buzzing worse than before and most other symptoms described in this thread.

All blood work and cat scan were fine.

Felt like I was trying to walk on a moving train.

Mostly these symptoms have gone after about 6 -7 weeks, thank goodness, but I am now left with just a general unwellness feeling, still slightly wonky in the head, still some dizziness every now and again, some on again off again sharp sinus type headaches, pressure in the sinuses, neck aches from the back of my skull and the worst and most worrying is the jelly legs and arms, my right arm especially, some days worse than others.

Some times I get up to walk and my legs don't feel like they are beneath me.

My question, is this something others have experienced in the recovery process, weak fatigued jelly like limbs after the others symptoms have started to subside ?

Is this normal or should I be getting more tests done ?

Doctor checked my strength, which he said felt fine, not sure what that ruled out.

This whole experience has been so scary ,debilitating and depressing, looking normal on the outside but feeling lost and wrecked on the inside.

People think I am crazy, having a meltdown.

I am going to have a good read later as I too suffer with dizzyness, currently undiagnosed but have appointment this week for a follow up. 

Bit of background. Has been around 8 months now. Had a really bad spell last year where I was bed bound. Gets worse when im around loud noise or enclosed space. Looking like labrynthitis. Don't actually suffer dizzyness as much more off balance, disorientated, fatigued and loads more. Any help would be much appreciated. Such a nasty illness. 

Hope you are all feeling better. 

My advice is to push and push your gp or consultant for everything you can testing wise. If I'd listened to my GP I'd have been popping happy pills for the past year....
