Have anybody been feeling like they are on a boat every day. So sick and tired of it . I’m about to go crazy. They say it’s vertigo but no medicine has helped at all.

I get the pins and needles too but mostly in my hands and head. 👎🏼

Yes, and it’s ruined me! I’m not the same person!! I get episodes like I’m on a boat, even fall over if I try to walk but it goes away if I sleep, but lasts for hours if I don’t. My head feels like it’s bobbing too.

Went to balance clinic and even they couldn’t help. It started when I got new glasses and didn’t know I wasn’t supposed to read close up with them ... this caused the issue to start. Haven’t had an episode for a few months now.

I wonder does it make you feel weird sometimes when looking at phone or computer screen.p? Sometimes I simply can’t without feeling like the vertigo is coming on. I get adrenaline and a feeling of doom. Hate this!

P.s the hospital said I have vestibular problems

They have never said stress and anxiety to me . I believe they think I’m crazy. I done even tried physical therapy. I’m tired of going to doctors I just don’t know what to do anymore.

I suffer from vertigo and no medication ever helped so I attended a physiotherapist and they showed me how to do the Everley manoeuvre. If you look at YouTube there are videos how to do the movements & it helped me 👍

I have done that too it helped a little bit but not enough. All I know is it had went away and I don’t know why I had even started back driving. I was doing good for about 4 months and it came back with vengeance. One time I thought the Benadryl tablets helped but not sure.

They help for a while but can be addictive then eventually stop working. I had this same issue n was using Benadryl to self medicate. Not sure what really made mine ease up enough to tolerate life but i find staying hydrated helps keeping the body balanced hope u feel better soon

That’s what might be my problem dehydration. I think I don’t drink enough water. I’m gonna try drinking more water. Hope it make a difference because at this point I will try anything because I am so tired of feeling like this.

Yes. Swaying is not vertigo tho. I get vertigo and it’s a nightmare. It feels like everything is spinning topsy turvy. Like you need to hold on to something to stop the flying. But I also get the swaying unbalanced feeling you have and I don’t know why. It definitely ruins your day and creates anxiety or it’s the other way around perhaps. The epley maneuver certainly helps vertigo but I don’t know what helps swaying. Maybe Dramamine? I’ve been working on balance exercises as well. When I don’t have vertigo or dizziness I’m perfectly active and fine. Good luck

Every day. If it helps, when you get to a point where you stop focusing on it, you’ll worry about it less, and then you’ll notice it less. It’s just a part of who I am now. But if I get really anxious about anything, it rears it’s ugly head.

I had gotten better once. I had even started back driving but it came back with vengeance. I had to stop driving. Just don’t know what to do about it at this point. Tired of going to doctors with no results.
