vertigo
Posted , 8 users are following.
I have been reading post concerning people with on going disorders of the inner ear. It is very depressing & upsetting as to how long this can go on.
I started a year ago & suddenly felt much better for a few months. BUT the feeling good did not last. I can wake up feeling not so bad but on movement I start feeling weird in my head. Does that happen to anyone else?

These days I take one day at a time. Having said that I do try and stay as active as possible within that parameter. I have found one of the most useful forms of exercise for me is that of deep water aqua aerobics. Can only think this is because, like the VRT exercises it makes my head bob around a lot and I am unbalanced a lot, we all are, so no one is any different to me in the water! I'm not up to swimming freestyle yet as when I turn my head to breath I get dizzy still and this unnerves me a bit - well a lot if I'm honest I try and do something everyday. I'm lucky because I belong to a great centre with gymnasium, pools and lots of classes. Some days I'm not up to much for whatever reason so is just take in one of the more gentle classes or take it easy on myself.
Try ray not to get too anxious. It makes it worse. Hard I know but you can learn to live with it. I didn't belief I could, but it have.
Best of luck

I thought It went away & I was so happy to fee "normal". At least for a while. Fatigue - yes all of what you said. I am outgoing & sociable & this just messes with you whole self. Tomorrow will be better.

I do not have good or bad days... they are all the same. When I move my head back or down, I get the dizziness. I also have what I can only describe as a light-headed, bouncy feeling when I move my head. I still am not sure if they are related, but some say they are.
You might also be sensitive to sinus pressure with could change with weather. There is also a condition where you have an imflammed vestibular nerve. All worth check at the doctors office.
Good luck, it can be a long process, unfortunatley -first to diagnosis it correctly, then the rehabilitate your brain to adapt to any changes.

Some causes: Chronic sinusitus (cigarette smoking may contribute to increased otitus media infections as well), TOOTH issues (some of which you may not be aware of if you've had a root canal in the infected tooth!), BPPV (involves the crystals in your inner ear becoming dislodged and free float, bumping into your balance canals!), inflamation of the ear from tissue swelling, cyst, tumor (benign usually!).
Additionally, there are drugs that treat the vertigo while you are healing that AREN'T AVAILABLE IN THE U.S.! Only in the EU!
