Hello,
I have been serching for information on the symptoms that I have been having and found this information from others having some of the same. In Oct 08 I had my first bout with the dizzyness. I went to a walk in clinic then to a ENT. They ran many tests with no answers. This went on for about a month then seemed to go away. On Jan 3rd of this year it came back even stronger. I went back to the ENT that ran more tests,hearing,VNG etc trying motion sicness medications that did not work. I then went to a so called super specilast "neurologist"in hearing and balance. Much more blood work, tests and a MRI. They all came back normal. The DR then said that he has done all that he can do in his field. His diognosis was that I had a Virus of some type that could have affected my central balance system. This has been goinging on for over 2 months now. It is very frustrating to not be able to do the things I used to or to even get around sometimes. I am almost constantly dizzy with nausea at times, fatique,leg and joint pains, also headaces. I dont drive much any more just to work and home because of the effects it has on me.It is very stressful for me and my family not to have answers. I am trying to decide if I should go to MAYO clinic or Shands to see if anyone there have any answers. I do not want to continue living like this. I sure would like to know if someone has the magic cure.

I have also been dizzy for about 4 months now. It hit me in the grocery store like a freight train. I couldnt even walk to the bathroom for the first 2 weeks. Dr. gave me steroids & antibiotics... and they did nothing. My whole world went straight down the toilet. I have since went back to work, and I have good & bad days, but the dizziness NEVER goes away. Mornings are the worst for me. The only time I feel normal is if I have a few alcoholic drinks... and I only drink occasionally. I still have no answers and I am scared everyday. I feel for you, I am afraid I will never feel normal again. I am 39 yrs old and pretty healthy otherwise...
