Have you had a medication review by your physician and pharmacists? Sometimes interaction with medications can cause symptoms. I just, after months of research myself discovered the culprit to my vertigo, dizziness, migraine type headaches was Eliquis (apixaban). but it took 8 months to finally figure it out and an understanding physician to change my medication back to warfarin. Of course I had printed off all the data that I accumulated !

Hi,
Unfortunately with so many diagnoses it is getting confusing as to what symptoms are from what.
More to the point so many have been proven to be incorrect that you end up challenging everything.
Now I have a diagnosis of Autonomic polyneuropathy (ANS), just 12 years for them to make the diagnosis. I just add it to all the other problems I'm dealing with. I'm finding it difficult to accept as there is no cure and no known treatment available. Thirty percent of my symptoms are now permanent while the rest chime in when they like and I have no control over any of it. Now days it is bad days with the odd hour of freedom thrown in during the month. Those hours aren't wasted either, being put to full use as long as I can have them, sadly all too short and it is back to me taking a backseat to ANS control.
My only recourse is to manage it as best I can for as long as I can. Vertigo is my buddy now, constantly at my side ever willing to trip me when I forget I have it with Tinnitus chipping in for full effect,( pun intended).
With so much control snatched by ANS it is now a fight to be comfortable every day, a fight I'm not winning.
Cheers
