Hi everyone!

Decided to join the forum after reading on other peoples experiences.

For the past 3 months I have been feeling like I am walking on a trampolin whenever I walk. If I sit down or lie down i dont feel the symptoms at all. I would say that I have not seen any huge improvement since I got it and it seems that nobody can figure out what is wrong with me. I just woke up with the symptoms and didnt have any illness before.

I have seen:

2 x GPs

2 x ENT specialist

1 x TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) doctor

1 x Neurologist

Tests done: Urine, Blood, MRI, Vestibular testing.

So far nobody has been able to tell me what is wrong with me, the last doctor I saw was the Neurologist who said that I have a coordination issue. It is starting to get to the point where it is affecting my mental health and I am starting to feel depressed because nobody can tell me if these symptoms will go away.

Has anyone else had any similar experience?

    Hello mine started last April 2017 I started out with a sinus infection and severe dizziness. Sense that I have also had several doctors, test physical therapy with still to this day no real answer. They said it was vastibular labythitus, cervical , chronic inflammation of the sinuses etc. Now I wake up daily always feeling like I am swaying or floating ! My life is not my own anymore. I was active and enjoying life ! Not anymore. No medications worked , no therepy worked ! Good luck to you ....I know what your feeling trust me ! Hang in there

    There are some days that are not as severe as others and I'm able to do some things. I've seen a neurologist who did several tests and prescribed vestibular rehabilitation. I've got to schedule an appointment to see if hopefully that will bring me some relief. I do have 5 herniated discs in my neck from a previous car accident and do see a chiropractor as well. My ENT scoped my sinuses and everything was good. I had an MRI of my brain that was good. The only thing that was abnormal was a positive Ana test which means I have to many antibodies. So I followed up with a rheumatologist and the panel they did was normal. So from here on out I guess my only option is to try the vestibular rehabilitation.
