Spaced out, high, Drunk Feeling. Please help me. (5 MONTHS)

hey. so this is the first time ive ever met someone with my same symptoms....mine started 6 or 7 years ago.....when they started they were on and off. Some doctor wrote it off as "silent migraines" about 5 years ago I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. After that the feeling of being drunks slowly got more frequent.

I'm now dealing with it every single day.....it's been a year.... of every day feeling drunk most of the day.....I'm falling apart. The doctors won't listen to me. I can't drive on my own anymore, I ran 3 red-light because I couldn't remember what the red light meant......I'm 26 years old and I have 3 children.....I don't do drugs, I don't drink, I'm a lightweight I can only handle like 2 glasses of wine anyways.

I want a scan done of my brain and a full blood panel.

The part that scares me is all my moms aunts died of brain cancer, my grandma has alzheimers((spelling?)) and my dad's uncle has Parkinsons ((spelling?)) so yeah I'm scared.....I just want to see my world clearly....I want to have real memories. my youngest is 6 months old.....having a 6 month old and feeling drunk all the time is really really depressing. I have such a hard time focusing on anything because of it......please if you get a diagnosis or a lead let me know. I think we have the same thing. My husband thinks it's a blood sugar thing.

i think its tmj or tight neck but PT dry needling and mouth guard havent helped

Get tested for BVD (Binocular Vision Dysfunction

most probably if you got tasted for everything and results are normal you may have PPPD.

It is very common and gives you all kind of strange and debilitating symptoms.

The treatment for it is vestibular rehabilitation exercises(very important to not overdo them) and antidepressants.

Basically your brain is in fight or flight mode all the time and sensitive to any pattern, sound or self movement.

I had lightheadness/dizziness drunk feeling 24/7 for about 8 months until I started doing the exercises slowly and gradually increasing the difficulty (I was overdoing them the first 7 months).

Now i am normal like 1-2 months then 1 week of dizziness and so on... I may try the medication route if this continues.

hey im am a 20 year old male, so ive got mostly the same effects however i also tend to see stars sometimes and have alot of floaters in my vision especially when looking at something white or at the sky, ive had my symptoms for over 2 years now and they still havent gone away some days they will get better and some days they well be worse, doctors havebt helped they put me on medication but i dont belive it helped, mine started after smoking weed, i was fine kn the night but about 5 days later it hit me and i had a huge panic attack thinking tnat j was going to die, eversince i havent been the same. please let me know if you find anything that helps

following, i have had these exact same symptoms recurring since having covid two months ago. They're very debilitating

Hi there,

I've been having a similar experience for the past 10 months now.

It started last September. I took a single untested pill of Ecstasy on the same weekend that I was exposed to COVID.

A few days after, I had a very bad migraine attack where I had a horrible pain in the back of my head, and became confused, stumbling into things and experiencing various strange symptoms. Random numbness, issues with word recall, etc.

Ive had these attacks twice before in my life, at least a year apart.

But a few days after this one, my brain fully unplugged for good. I became super irritable and felt like I was living in a dream nonstop - I felt oversensitive to light and noises. I felt very depressed and anxious, with back pain and tons of muscle twitching.

The worst symptom was the depersonalization, which was very bad for a few days - and completely new and traumatic.

These symptoms persisted for the coming months to varying degrees. They gradually improved, but still remain. I saw the most improvement at around the 6 month mark, but then got COVID again which I think set me back.

Throughout the months, I've seen multiple neurologists and doctors. I've done bloodwork and had an MRI of my

head with no remarks.

Curious to hear how you're doing now.

Hi there....i came a toss your blog my son is 21 and has the exact same symptoms Have ypu gotten better??

**Dysport / Botox Injections **

I have been experiencing similar symptoms for about two years, and have not found a doctor who can definitively diagnose or treat me.

My symptoms started with a series of intense, chronic headaches in 2019, which sent me to the ER where I saw a neurologist who did an MRI that came back normal. I have continued to see that neurologist who has since been troubleshooting my symptoms as Status Migrainosus or "intractable migraine," i.e. migraine that does not respond to treatment. (There were a few occasions where, a 7-day dose of oral steroids made me feel better but only for a few days and then the symptoms all came back.) I am unsure of this diagnosis, however, as headache is no longer my main symptom, but rather the intense brain fog, confusion, spacey feeling, and utter exhaustion that you and others have described.

In April this year, I decided on my own to try Dysport injections (similar to Botox) firstly for my forehead wrinkles and secondly to see if it would help improve my condition, if in fact it is some sort of migraine. Lo and behold it did, almost immediately. I felt noticeably different within an hour of the injections and felt like an entirely new person within 24 hours. Every day that passed, I felt better and better. I had no symptoms at all for about two months, until the Dysport started to wear off in late June, and I could feel the them starting to creep back. I am now three months post-treatment and feel absolutely horrible again. I am getting another round of injections tomorrow, but with actual Botox this time as it is stronger and should last longer. Fingers crossed that i feel better again in a day or two.

If the injections do work again, it will be a huge relief to know that I have an effective treatment plan going forward. However, I would still like to know what this condition is. Is it actually migraine? Is it something else? Who can answer this? There must be SOMETHING that is causing all of us to feel like this. If you are still hosting your group, I would love to join and discuss this further. Thanks!

I have been gong through the exact same thing the last 16 months. Any update?
