Labrynthitis

[RLC100]

Just got diagnosed with this condition. Talk about being motionsick, this is the worst feeling of being dizzy I ever felt in my life. I had to go to the ER out of pure survival (got sick all over the place). Its been 3 days and still get bouts of dizzyness.
Anyone ever have this?

Couple of years ago I had a bout of vertigo that took 2 weeks to be manageable. Woke up spinning one morning and puking from the dizziness. Couldn't even lay on the couch and watch TV. Every day got a little better until I could function and walk around, sucked big time. Take it easy, do what the Doc says, good luck.

Never had it myself, but have worked ER nursing for a decade now and have seen it many times. Most people say just what you are saying, the worst feeling in the world. Even the slightest movement of the head leads to severe dizziness and nausea. As the doctor probably explained, the center of equilibrium in the human body is located in the ear, and when it is inflamed that equilibrium is distorted. Usually treated with medications such as meclizine (anitvert) which helps control the dizziness but is not a cure. I hope your bout is short lived and that you are feeling better quickly.

Yep, I get boughts of that from time to time. Not much fun. Take it easy and it will pass. Sometimes it comes on pretty strong, other times, just minor.

That kind of sounds how I felt AFTER having meningitis.
