Author: Martian Barb so tired of being dizzy
Subject: Has anyone out there ever suffered from labyrinthitis?

Last Saturday morning, when I got out of bed, my room was spinning. I didn't think too much about it since I swent tobed late after working 3-11. I was still dizzy after eating breakfast and by noon, I was vomiting and couldnot walk straight. All I could do was lay onthe sofa. I called off from work that evening since I could not stand upo. The vomiting and nausea continued all evening. The same happened on Sunday. By Monday, I was still dizzy, although I had no nausea. I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with labyrinthitis. I was worrind that I was having a stroke or any other kind of major disease.

It's now Thursday and I am still dizzy. I don't have the vopmiting anymore, but am still nauseated at tiome. This is just awful. I don't have the sick time accrued anymore lsince I fractured my foot last summer, so I can't even stay at home. The doctor told me that I really should not drive, but I have to. I am taking an antihistamine during the day and Antivert at night (that's because it makes you so very tired and you can't drive).

If anyone has ever had it, how long does it last and how did you deal with the constant dizziness? I was told that it could last as long as 6 weeks. If it does, it's going to be the death of me! Not really, but you know how it goes.

Thanks for your help and advice.

If your joints/spine are out of line, then that could very easily lead to poor signal transmission by the nerves leading to dizzyness. -- The Chief, 21:52:41 04/07/11 Thu [1]

[> Dizziness -- Cokie, 22:42:19 04/08/11 Fri [1]

My husband experienced some kind of benign vertigo several months ago. He suffered terribly form dizziness, nausea and vomiting. He tried antihistamines and they didn't work....what did work was some exercises laying down in his bed and positioning his head in a certain way for 30 secs at a time..I think they were called Brandt-Daroff exercises. It worked and the dizziness has never returned.

BPPV (Benign Paryoxsmal Positional Vertigo)which was very debilitating for the two weeks I had it. I received the Epley treatment through the chiropractor and that helped immensely. Haven't had it recur since.

Email me if you want to chat further.
Good luck.
