    Hi Tuki

    Just wordering how you're doing. I've had this for 4 months now and still waiting for an ENT appt. Good days and bad and today is a very nauseous day.

    Hope you get some answers soon. It's great to read other people's comments as it shows we are not alone or going mad.

    Take care.

      Hi Helen

      Im getting better by the day, ive stop taking the nausea pills which were nt helping at all making me drousy, i drink lots of water 2ltr a day and eating healthy. Lost heaps of weight through being fearful of what i had 6kg, i try stay positive now and returning to light duties next monday. My doctor explain to me the nerves between my inner ear and brain were inflamed with water retention around them from virus which will heal and build a antibiotic to combat future viruses.

      I hope you heal quickly it is not nice at all, Ive giving my heart to Jesus as my spirit needed healing aswell and i praise him for what he has done for me and kept me positive and strong.

      I hope this helps you and pray that you heal as soon as possible.

      Godbless

    Thankyou for your kind words. Yes anxiety can keep your weight down. Luckily I am in control of that side of things as been on anxiety Medstead or years but have cut them right down. I will up my water intake as I don't think I drink enough if you have 2 litres a day.

    Wishing you all the best and living in hope we can stay positive.

    Helen.
