rocking vertigo

Has anyone had rocking on a boat vertigo and balance problems and improved with treatment?

Hi there! I have been using homeopathy for the past 9 mos. I have tried sooo many different treatments before this but the vertigo herxes were too severe so I stuck with the homeopathy which is more gentle. I just recently started working with a new ND who tested me energetically with the Quest and they made up a homeopathic imprinted remedy for me. They also wanted me to start colloidal silver. I have to go very low and slow with this treatment since I am so sensitive. So far I have had some improvement with the vertigo but not much. It worries me that I will be permanently disabled by this. I have tried so many treatments and even went to a brain injury center for rehab but I still have chronic vertigo for 4 yrs now

Haha....I have gone to at least 40 different doctors, chiros,acupuncturists, ents , neuros,, healers, intuitives...you name it. It took me 2.5 yrs just to find out it was lyme and cos., viruses, candida etc. I havent actually had many other symptoms except for the horrific vertigo and imbalance. Of course I have fatigue and some burning pain with a herx but mosty debilitating vertigo. I have had some improvement with the vertigo... At least I can leave my house now and sort of tolerate stores, crowds. But I still need a walker and I never go out alone,

It sounds to me like you need a lyme literate medical (LLMD) or naturopath doctor (LLND). A doctor that specializes in lyme disease.

Many of us have traveled from doctor to doctor giving them lots of $$$.

A doctor that is schooled in lyme is so much better than a regular doctor. My regular doctor doesn't have a thing to do with my lyme disease. He says he doesn't know enough about it. I am glad he can admit that. But he does want me to have regular blood tests.

If you need help finding a LLMD we can help you.

I had this problem for approximately 3 years, but now it is a lot better. My vertigo sometimes returns when I get over tired or do too much, usually in the form of a dizzy spell, but in general it is much better. In the past I felt like I was walking on a rocking boat, but now that sensation is gone, thank goodness! I am treating with herbs alone and am here to tell you not to give up hope. It can go away with treatment!

My imbalance issues are way better than they used to be, but sometimes they come and go....I can't really say there's a pattern but it seems to be mostly during the day when I'm at work so I think that looking at the computer assists this symptom to appear. On the weekends when I'm away from work/computer, I hardly every experience them. Mine are either that feeling you get when the elevator stops when it hits the floor you're going to or sudden spinning of the room like 90 degrees and then goes back again but mostly the elevator feeling. Weird but I've gotten used to them. I do believe treatment helps though.

Hi StrugglinNorwegian - welcome to our community!

Did you stay on the abx for a couple months past the symptom resolution? That is recommended when treating.
Now that the symptoms are back, have you restarted them?


Because you are new here, it would be helpful for you to read through the thread at the top of the page titled: "New to Lyme?...start Here!" It's full of great information.

Hi! and Thank you Girlie!

I was just on doxycycline for a month and i think i felt better and had less symptoms, because the way the spirochetes turn into cyst form.

The disease is not accepted here in Norway. And the doctors can`t give out antibiotics if you dont have a positive test. they get pursued and lose theire license.
just for giving a little doxy to a very sick person, while they get no problems prescribing the same abx to a person for zits/acne!
crazy.
So abx is not available for me. But im starting to take buhner herbs. and getting help with diet and supplements from a good nutritional counselor.

Ive been kind of lurking on this forum for a while. and found sooo much good information and advise. I have read the "new to lyme" thread, and visit it often for information.

sorry for disrupting the thread.

So I used to to this great dds in Wisconsin-doug cook. He probably saved my life.
In his waiting room a met a women who ad vertigo for years and the day before coo had operated on her-she told me her vertigo was gone. I asked doug about this vertigo and he said four times in his career he had patients with virtigo and they all had a problem with the same tooth and they
all got better the day after he operated (I think he pulled the tooth-maybe a root canal)
Anyway I know doug well and I am sure this was his experience.
So at least some times this is dental
FYI-I ran into the women maybe year later-vertigo was still gone

Can somebody give me a glimmer of hope that it goes away??? I became sick with Lymes in August of 2015. I have this annoying rocking feeling that comes and goes throughout the day! many people say it is common. I have me left ear muffled at times to... Happens to be on the side of a molar that is now a root canal since 1999. If I get it pulled will it help? My llmd says wait since I have been on abx for only 6 months.i heard from a member say that the dentist saved his life.. I think it was Maggo2. Want this gone! I started red root and csa ruling out co infections.

Hi. Can you tell me what types of homeopathy you have been taking?

Room spinning is the worse...got some csa thanks rowing mom .i feelnit has something to do with the nerves in the ears...

chic mama -

Just wanted to cover the bases since it seems you've had significant experience w/ MDs and that likely means extensive testing.

Back in Oct I had these weird seizure and vertigo episodes return (hadn't noticed them for 5-6 yrs). Went to a lyme-friendly neurologist who ran the typical tests that found nothing (aside from hearing loss):
- astronaut chair test where they strap you in and toss you around in all directions/upside down to discover "crystals dislodged in middle ear" test,
- hearing test
- MRI (lesions/tumers)
- and carotid artery sonogram (issue with oxygen getting to your brain)

...wanted to make sure your neuro also ruled out obvious issues with these tests?

Assuming yes, I wanted to share what I think my vertigo issues are from (I don't know if they are tied to the seizures) but I notice I get subtle ear aches sometimes, not always, with virtigo spells (I've been having them recently w/out ear aches) that I think are caused by yeast/fungal overgrowth in the ear canal. Just wanted to throw that idea out there. infection, not y/f overgrowth.

And, as others have mentioned, the lyme & co bacteria could be causing the same symptoms if the infection gets into the middle ear. Corresponding with the intermittent vertigo, I am also suffering from an uptick in tinnitus, which is definitely the infection, not the y/f overgrowth. I am desperately hoping this is resolved with the lyme & co treatment.
