 Posted: 08/23/06 - 23:00 Post subject: Mal de Debarquement syndrome? |
  |
|
Hi, my job requires me to travel a lot. Unfortunately, I never feel well after the journey, because I suffer from Mal de Debarquement Syndrome. When I get out of the plain or bus, I feel dizzy and have symptoms like rocking and nausea. Can anyone tell me how can I treat this condition, because it’s really important that I keep this job? Thanks

Hello, I was diagnosed with Mal de Debarquement Syndrome four years ago, when I got back from a journey, and had symptoms like rocking, nausea and constant headaches. The biggest problem was that these symptoms lasted couple of months. Mal de Debarquement Syndrome can be triggered by any prolonged motion, but the exact cause of this condition is unknown. Some doctors think that this is a psychiatric condition, something like depression. The others think that Mal de Debarquement Syndrome is related to hormones, and there are even those doctors who think this is just a type of a migraine. If they were in my shoes, they would know better. This is more serious than any migraine. There is no specific method for treating this condition, and it usually disappears without any direct treatment. So, good luck!

I have had MDDS for four years onset by a short cruise in rough seas.
It comes and goes and can last for months at a time.
I recently got it back and had a severe case was taken to ER.
I'm finding weather changes in pressure make it worse and sinus or congestion and take over the couter sinus meds help a lot.
I'm going to see some more specialist and there is some useful info and a doctor who can help at Vestibular.org.
He seems to have found a type of cure using Valium and another drug. |

| I found that doing exercises 1) standing on one leg, eyes closed, 2) shaking head NO and then YES first slowly and then faster have worked. These are from my vestibular therapist and they really did work. I have had it for 6 years on and off and this is the only thing that helps. also acupuncture (for treatment of gallbladder and FLEM according to chinese medicine) and the seabands for motionsickness all help. good luck. |
