Hi all I'm English living in montreal for 6 years. Struck down with vertigo 4 years ago which then continued on a monthly basis. Got so bad that I literally couldn't leave the house for months. Although things have improved I am left with anxiety and some panic although largely have the panic under control. Weird thing is that mine hits every month - according to tests and what I have read seems to be down to a lack of progesterone. This also causes my blood pressure to spike -!who knows what order it's doing it all in I.e. anxiety causing bp spike or the other way round. Like a lot of you I am fed up with doctors and am having a last ditch effort with progesterone supplements, cbt and hypnosis. My doctor wants me on prozac but feels a bit like a sledgehammer to smash an egg! If all else fails guess that's what I'll do! Feel like my life is being destroyed by this thing and just wish it were a normal illness that people could understand and see.
