labarinthitus

[dizzybloke]

I had labarinthitus bad enough to be hospitalised for 3 days 8 months ago, but I am still not free of symtoms. Walking makes me feel disorientated & giddy & my eyes loose focus, as does being inside large buildings with lots of activity / noise / lights (even a supermarket). My balance & coordination are nowhere near as good as they were previously & I am limited in the amount of physical activity I can do before I feel dizzy & physically ill. I am not on any medication - is there anything that would help ? How long will this last ?

my husband has been suffering from this condition for 2-3 years now,he has been taking cyclizine tablets prescribed by the doctor and as long as he takes them he doesn't have an attack.They can make you drowsy and the problem is he's so afraid of having an attack that he won't stop taking them long enough to see whether the condition has cleared up.He had some really awful experiences of the condition ,once when he was driving,causing extreme dizziness and vomiting,after the attack has passed he sleeps like the dead and then he's ok.Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a cure for this disease only control of the symptoms.
