Hello to Everybody,
Has anybody had vertical veritgo or the staggerd type.
For years i only had the horizontal type always moving right to
left but as the years have moved on i suddenly had the vertical
type that started from the top and fell down from 1oclock position
to about 6 or 7 oclock the feeling was really wierd i did feel sick
but it was not uncomfortably sick but it felt like someone was pushing
me to the ground from my shoulders i was still imobilized by it and
if i took a step i would have fell another was what i call the stagged
type that can last days that feels like the poor outcome of a moveing
video and the ground feels really unsteady the longest iv had that
one is four days and arfter a vertical attack when that cleared i felt
my judgment impaired bumping in to door opening stratching my
my arms on door handles banging my shoulders a stubbing my toes
also falling over all on my right ear side that is almost death...
i have not had an attack for some weeks now and my tinitus as
quiented down ive been taking movocol for constipation from
stress and anxiety im wondering if that might have something to
do with it as it take water from the body but differently to duiretics...

I can completely relate to these symptoms, its the pushing me down that got me in a wheelchair, I got to where I was falling back away from my walker, so had to give up the walker.

I really admire your spirit and your ability to
get on with life iv read your posts since iv been a
member here and believe you are really making a
difference in helping people come to terms with
not just m.d. but illness in general it seems we have
a lot in common i no you suffer m.d. anxiety stress
and now i learnt hives i also have a skin disorder
lichen planus that flares up under stress it came on
around the same time as m.d. and it took dermotoligists
17yrs to diagnose its been every place on my body literally
..i asked dermos if it could get in my ears he said as it a skin
condition he did not see why not..i also have c.o.p.d lung condition
probably from smoking or building materials as they contain lime
..i have to take it day by day and hour by hour on the bad days..
i dont suffer to many headaches though..stress and anxiety seem
to be my worst enemy and they do blurr my vision and create
pressure in my head...keep posting..and stay healthy..

Hello Stephan, Thank you very much for the nice comments, I would like to help anyone I can if possible. This disease is difficult to handle and I truly feel for everyone who has this to deal with. Meniere's has took me on a journey down the bumpy road of life. But I do have time periods where the symptoms are less bothersome, and for this I am very thankful. I try to think that I am blessed that the symptoms are not any worse than they are. I do know a couple friends that are bedfast with meniere's. I just feel that if I keep my spirits up, I won't hit bottom so easy
Thanks again! Bertman

Over the years my vertigo has run the gamut. Rotational, down, up (where I felt like I had to hold my head cuz it was flying off my body) and with the rapid eye twitching (can't remember the name of that at the moment)
It's interesting to me that your symptoms quieted after you started taking movocol for other issues.

Im sure its coincerdence,
I been suffering a lot of stress and anxiety
recently over appeal for benefit claim..
anyway i won the appeal and so the stress
and anxiety calmed down ..but my m.d. as
been at its worst ragging tinitus vertigo every
3 to 4 steps my head felt like it was about to
explode and regular bad attacks,,most of
last year was a mess and i wrote it off as one..
i have Sciatica pain and arthritis from a tibia
injury so i take a lot of cocodamol which is well
known for causing constipation ..if think it the codine
that does it but i get a lot of episodes and so have
to use laxatives to releave it. it interested me when
i read about movocol that it yoused bodily fats to loosen the stool
that got to me thinking about duiretics that get rid of exess fluids
and are used for M.D. and wonderd if there was a conextion ..
Laxotives can be hard to deal with and certainly put you off going
out for obvious reasons my brother suffers I.B.S. and it runs (no pun intended)
is life..i dont consider menieres to be my worst problem although bad enough
in my case its chronic anxiety and stress which iv sufferd from long before
M.D...thanks for the post ..stay fit healthy and hopefully well....
