Hi sqad,

I have been trying to cut down the stemetil and only had one yesterday, however I have woken up dizzy this morning...so I have just had another one, it has been 3 weeks now, how long do you think this will last? I am going round in circles quite literally.

If the diagnosis is correct and I do believe that it is and if you are trying the exercises that I suggested, then it may well be a few weeks before it settles completely.
Be patient.
However, there may be an outside chance, indeed quite a long shot, that the true diagnosis is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo which has quite a more prolonged period of recovery.

It will settle.

thanks, I appreciate your feedback. It is just so unsettling and unnerving.

It took me about 6 weeks to recover.

I think feeling dizzy, is the worst feeling in the world. I have attacks of dizzy migraines and literally cant move off the bed, it throws me into a panic.

Hope you recover soon. x

Hi Creamegg - I suffer terribly with vertigo/menieres disease. When I get an episode it is usually for 24-48 hours and with it dry vomiting/boaking/nausea. Can be very bad. I have been suffering with these for over 4 years now. I dread them when they happen.

I don't take anything for them as I found out through experience - whether I was taking the tablets OR not I still got the attacks. My sympathy goes to you. JjCon

Sympathy from me too (have Menieres). It took me a long time to get more used to it but I found some meditation type practices quite useful for feeling a little more grounded when feeling off balance. Things like controlled breathing and feeling connected to the ground and giving a focus etc... Not sure if anything like that would help? Trying to improve things you can't control rather than fighting something you can't, if that makes sense?

thank you for all your feedback, makes me feel less alone x
