Hi All,
Ive been really struggling, ive had all the tests, MRIS, ECG, Balance testing, eyes tested with special goggles and all sorts... all have come back normal.
I was diagnosed last week with mal de debarquement syndrome from a flight I came off this time last year... Now I am glad to have a diagnosis but I can't seem to believe them :( I am having VRT and the exercises I do make me feel awful.
The thing is my dizziness is just awful now.. I keep getting a swimming head feeling and also these horrible dizzy jolts which make me feel like my hands are being electrocuted! This has scared me and I now think I am about to have a seizure or that these dizzy spells are infact seizures!
I am so scared of having one or just fainting and I really don't know what to do.. in the past year I've probably had about 10 days where I have felt normal, other than that I have some sort of dizziness throughout the day!
I woke up this morning and just wanted to give up, I don't think I can go on feeling like this much longer. I am aware that a lot of this falls down to anxiety and have tried CBT and Mindfullness but meditating makes my dizziness really bad so have avoided doing it :(
I am most concerned about these jolts that I have where it feels like im falling for a split section and my hands feel all tingly :(
Any advice would be greatly appreciated...
