Vertigo

I have been suffering 24/7 constant vertigo (including constant false sense of motion, vision disturbances, nausea, etc) since August 2021, and have not been medically cleared to drive since then and will probably never be able to drive again. I wake up with the vertigo, it is with me all day, and go to bed with it.

I take meclizine twice a day to keep it more tolerable, and take xanax if it gets really out of control.

Vertigo still scares me every day. I don't think I will ever get used to this.

There is a YouTube series called The Steady Coach, which some friends of mine have found helpful with their vertigo. Maybe check it out. Good Luck!

25 years of migraines, woke from c56 fusion 2007 with cervical vertigo. Just saw Cleveland clinic expert on this condition. Only answer for me, because it's both sides, occipital nerve block and when that quits working, have to go back to Cleveland clinic to scrape scar tissue around each nerve. I had pain from under skull where it attaches to the neck, pain over ears and eye pain, of course dizzy and nauseous.

Has the cause of your severe vertigo been diagnosed?

Not yet, no.

If you live in a state with legal medical marijuana, I recommend trying that to see if it helps.

I'm a caregiver for a family member who was suddenly impacted by extreme vertigo and migraines this past August. Over-the-counter and prescription medications have not helped and she has been in extreme pain daily since this began. Last week, I decided to pick up some single rolls and gummies for her and I cannot believe how much it helped. Today, her physical therapist said she was almost completely back to her baseline after having been extremely limited in her abilities for months.
