Thanks liquid. Yesterday afternoon was a little bit better, hopefully it'll continue today. I just really hope the new Dr will be able to do something tomorrow. I know there's no quick fix for this, neither the anxiety nor the ear thing but ... I'm not even sure. Anything that'll help me believe this will get better eventually.. lol

Micha - I know what you mean. I don't want to keep telling people how this affects me all the time. My husband is concerned and asks me all the time if I'm feeling ok but I know he doesn't get it. I just tell him, yea I"m ok unless I'm feeling absolutely horrible.

The nausea is the absolute worst. I can't deal with it! This constant queasy feeling in my stomach all day long.. UGH!!!!!

I went to my pharmacist yesterday and asked him about something to help with that and he gave me some meclizine (I guess it's over the counter now!) I'm going to try and see if that works, that way I won't have to take the xanax quite as much, I think. *fingers crossed*

How come you never talked to your Dr about the residual problems? The rehab therapist told me that I had to do the vestibular rehab exercises every day to get my brain to compensate or it would just go on like this. I do think that since I started them I've had a lot more up and downs than before, the symptoms are a lot more pronounced when I get them, but she said that's normal. Get worse before you get better..... or something. >.<

You don't think the VRT would help you?

No,I dont want to do the rehab exercices.....sometimes it makes it worse and I am feeling OK right now....if it gets worse then I'll get back with my dr and will see if I then I'll need to do it...for now....I leave it like that....I really dont dare to provoque the dizziness.....

Thanks to all of you for being there. It's helped a lot.

I've actually been quite a bit better the last few days. The nausea is subsiding, a little queasy in the morning, then it goes away. That relieves the anxiety a LOT.

Went to the new Dr today. My blood test results are fine, a little low on the thyroid meds which I already knew. Rest of the physical ok too. I told her again that the anxiety was really getting to me and that I've been crying a lot lately, no appetite. She wants to wait until next week when the test results for the vitamin panel are in to decide further. She did ask me if I had xanax to hold me over till then tho (I do), that's a plus.

THen it was kinda weird. She's an osteopath and checked my head. Never had that done before. She sorta felt around my neck and head, shoulder, little on my back and said my right side (forgot exactly what it was) was compressed. She said she did a little to help that. I do feel a bit more relaxed now (not so tense). Who knows.


micha - I dont blame you for not wanting to do VRTs. If I'd known it would make it worse, I prob wouldn't have started. But at the time I had to start doing something. I was very active over the summer and that's when the symptoms started kicking back in and wouldnt go away. I guess now i'll try to suffer through it, keep doing the exercises and hopefully HOPEFULLY some day this will all go away.

phew. I'm tired. Glad it's the weekend.

Hey Kiki,

Hello, this is Kitt.  I am glad the last couple of days have been better for you.  I hope this is the begining of your up hill climb out of the anxiety and the vertigo and nausea.

It is about time, right?  You do have lots of support from all of us, so I am glad you can come here and share with us. Blessing to you.
