Just wondering if anyone has tried neurofeedback to help alleviate their symptoms, particularly symptoms that are suspected as stress induced. I have been told that I have PTSD which may be the root cause of all these neurological issues.

    Hi Marie

    It's been a while since I've posted. I'm feeling miserable right now. I have been for the past 2 weeks. It's all in my head, feeling of swaying, like my brain is swooshing around ..suble but enough to feel off balance, I'm miserable. People ask if I'm tired or sleepy and I say no.

    I feel my head heavy my eyes puffy and heavy, like I'm forcing myself to stay awake. My neck ...it hurts all the time. I feel this way everyday all day. Even as I'm here.

    Feels like my body slips away ...if I'm sitting or if I try to sleep. I've had MRIs ct scans blood work ENT you name it. I've been to do many Drs because all they would say is I'm stressed , anxiety , depressed.

    I'm with you Deb and after 5 months I'm getting there ! Just hate repeating myself but doctors know jack unless it's a vestibular specialist ! That's it - it seems to take a back seat and we all are a mess, lost and bewildered what is going on and what to do!

    Hi can I ask something?? Ive been suffering dizziness for almost 4 months now. It's not spinning sensation. I feel like I am in the boat or water/waving/swaying. And when I am walking or standing I feel something heavy in my head. 'Twas started last June, while I was laying in my bed and scrolling my phone I sweat and everyrhing I see was sliding. Do u guys think I have vertigo/anxiety/ TMJ since I am wearing braces? Please help me.

      Hi there,

      prob is, what u r describing could be any number of things. Your best bet (maybe u have already done this) is to contact ur family dr and tell him/her what u r feeling and take it from there. I am feeling a similar way but for me, it may be related to migraine attack or neck tension. I have been all over the place with suggestions as to what is producing my symptoms so it is no doubt frustrating but your case may in all likelihood be different and resolved sooner than later. I have heard of many success stories here so don't get frustrated, take it one day at a time and focus on the good days as a sign of the road to recovery. But def speak to ur family dr and go from there. I wish you well and keep us posted smile
