This coming Boxing day it will be 3 years since totally out of the blue i stood up and it fealt like someone tried to push me over.

It became more and more and i complained to my GP on an almost weekly basis.

It then became brutal, constant and every second of the day with a bobbing, swaying, leaning , walking on a mattress feeling, dizzy and lightheaded EVER SINCE!

That's non-stop for 2 years, 3 weeks and 1 day unrelenting with NO RELIEF!

2 weeks after it had become non-stop i was taken to A&E and was discharged after bloods, an ECG and seeing a stroke Dr.

After this i've been seen by a vascular consultant (GP told to refer to urgent by A&E after visit) who i waited 10 weeks to see but had to push as it was going to be 18 weeks. This consultant recommended i see a neurologist, i was told it would be 7 weeks and it ended up being 31 weeks and even then it would of been longer if i had not complained and having to go to PALS.

After the neuro being totally disinterested and after having 2 appts and being looked at like an idiot i was left totally with no further communication from the neuro dept I GAVE UP!

I asked my GP to refer me to ENT urgent after the arse#ole neuro dept saga. My GP agreed he would but didn't and it was going to be 5 MONTHS so i complained and got seen within a month, had audiology tests within another month which were all normal so the ENT consultant referred me to UCLH London saying it was the gold standard place to go in the UK.

At this point i was happy because frankly it's like nobody believes me and it's like living in hell! Not even my family seem to believe me! Luckily my partner does! I've not been to work for over 2 years and have a young family but still nobody seems to give a TOSS!

UCLH HAS BEEN THE NEXT SAGA AS I WAS REFERRED IN DECEMBER, I'VE PHONED AND EMAILED AND NOT EVEN A SNIFF OF AN APPT AFTER 8 MONTHS OF WAITING!

Anybody been to UCLH and had or heard of any such garbage and such a CRAP way to treat a patient begging for help. UCLH or the NHS for that matter?

I will be emailing again tonight and will send a hard copy to every name i can find for neuro-otology / ENT at UCLH tonight aswell as the service manager who it lists that has been sent the previous emails.

Thanks.

    HI MATT

    I HAVE NOT FOLLOWED THIS GROUP FOR YEARS BUT ALSO struggle with dizziness myself. Did you check your blood sugar.? Also this might sound strange to you but a few years ago I was being targeted(GANGstalked) by people that were putting stuff in my air and making me sick. I could not prove it ,but I know it was happening because the guy upstairs moved in at the time it was going on and moved out when I sold my apartment. Do you feel drugged as well because that was how I was feeling when I was there ? i also had some vertigo at one point in the past. i will keep you in my prayers .
