3 years non stopping vertigo and titanitus

Posted by annittar1 @annittar1, Feb 14 12:04pm

This is the 3rd year for never-ending vertigo, and next month will be my 4th ENT visit to the same doctor. I spent last summer in Rehab, just had a second CT scan, have had 4 different diagnoses, and all of them were wrong. I had a new pacemaker put in two months ago, which is wonderful, but vertigo is still with me. I get episodes where the body feels it is burning up, throws up, even just bile, then the body feels freezing, and the need to use a walker to get to the bathroom for bowels. I get the severe attacks at least once every 3 to 4 months. The vertigo is with me every day, and never leaves, and I am now totally deaf in my left ear and partially deaf in my right ear. I also have 3rd stage kidney disease for the last 13 years, and every 4 months, I get shots in my eyes for Wet Macular Degeneration. I can say that at 80 years old, I am dang tired of the vertigo. Next ENT is in March, and he is a good doctor, just baffled why the vertigo. Any suggestions, and oh, silent migraine diagnoses were not it.

I’ve had vertigo like symptoms for 20 years now. It’s 24/7 365 days a year. Been to Mayo and the “Dizzy Doctor”, Tim Hain, at Northwestern in Chicago. They agree that I have vestibular neuritis. The vestibular nerve on my left side stopped functioning that day 20 years ago. Perhaps a virus knocked it out? Physical therapy really has never helped and there’s apparently no other solution. I hope your situation clears up a lot faster than mine! Best of luck to you.
