Trying Zoloft. Just now getting to 100mg. Really nothing yet to share. My plan is to stick with Sertraline for 30 days, then I'll share again.

Chronic dizziness is a terrible & sometimes disabling way to live. Have enduring this for 7 mos. some days are better than others. I have a arthritic neck & wonder if that could be a cause. Doc doesn't think so. To have mri & cat scan wed & not looking forward to it - will need to medicate. I hope I get through it.!!

Yes, it is terrible. So is Meniere's. Acceptance, was and still is a<br />
struggle for me. But it is the one thing that allows me to move on. It is<br />
beyond doctors to alleviate all suffering, and our thinking otherwise is<br />
unproductive. It is just a part of life. It is difficult to start, but a<br />
gratitude list helps. I'm grateful for my kids, grand kids, lichen that<br />
grows on rocks, moss. My wife. And really many other things; it was not<br />
always like this.<br />
<br />
We all have to look for and use what works for us as individuals. This is<br />
our purpose in life, at least a part of it.<br />
<br />
Hoping you prosper,<br />

Hello John,

Thank you for the response to my posts. My MRI that I had last week to check the arteries in my brain & neck came back okay. And while that is a good thing, I am still walking around with my "space" head & walking a little off kilter sometime.

I have not reached the point of acceptance. I would like a reason or a dx telling me what is causing this & why. Once in a while I will get a day that allows me to almost feel "normal". I miss my life & feel bad for my husband.

I am glad for you that you have come to accept your issues. Thanks again.

Hi,<br />
I should probably add; my acceptance is not total, and it took time.<br />
Started my journey in the 80's. Went to an ER in 2008 and was referred to a<br />
neurologist then ENT, cardiologist too. A couple of years ago it started<br />
interfering with work. It's been progressive. Just had another MRI, it came<br />
back OK, I was disappointed. Besides CSD there is Meniere's and a skull<br />
malformation having an affect on the brain stem. And our cerrabellum also<br />
plays a role with balance. Maybe in time, they'll nail this thing down.<br />
Keep on, keeping on.<br />
<br />

Thank you so much for your input. It is a struggle for you too. My neck is so arthritic with 3 bulging disc that I find it hard to believe that it is not the culprit. But the experts says not.

I will keep pursuing & trying to go with the flow. Good luck to you.
