OMG...Extreme dizziness! :(
52 Answers
I posted before about getting dizzy when I got out of bed first thing in the morning, I was literally walking into the wall lol. I am now getting dizzy when I'm lying down in bed and move my head or turn over, I feel like the room is violently spinning and I am falling. Going to the doctors next week about it, any tips on preventing it in the meantime because it is horrible.
TIA

Add to the mix an endlessly blocked nasal area, so have nasal sprays, salt sprays you name it nothing works, it sounds like im failing fast, but im not, like CAJ1 its very disturbing and no one ever suggested menieres even when i asked.
em10...from what you have said....and remember i am not in possession of the full facts, then your diagnosis rests between Meniere's Disease and an Acoustic Neuroma and only X-Rays can distinguish between the two, although from what you say it may well be the former.
IF..the diagnosis IS Menieres Disease and IF it is so bad that you cannot go out of the house, then there is a surgical option.

Dotty i had thyroid test some years back, came back borderline, not for this, but its like looking for a needle in a haystack, you get one thing, that might go, then something else takes it place.
Sqad no problem with going out, but have had several falls, no alcohol induced ones, with no explanation, I confess that sometimes its scary, i even had a dream once about it once, that i had MS and that was the cause, that must have been playing on my mind at the time.
Human beings are so frail really when you think about it.

em10 - I hope you eventually get some kind of cure, I still feel horrendous despite spending the afternoon in bed.
No colds or any other illesses jelliecat bar my eczema in my ear.
My goodness slinky.kate, hope you're fully recovered now!
Hi dotty, no not had any throid tests done. I've had the unbalanced thing for ages but just got on with it because it only really happens when I get out of bed. Never been this bad though so I've not seen GP about it before

No, I don't drive. Some of the drugs available may help a bit. I'm on betahistines and stemetil, the later more for the dizziness and have a nasal spray. I hope it gets better for you soon, I know how miserable it can be.
Em1, would it help to ask about some kind of sedation for an MRI (not sure if they do it but maybe worth asking?).
