Yes thought I was going mad but yes vertigo is another lovely endometriosis gift, I can just wake up one day and its goodbye normality hello vertigo, trying to explain to work was a nightmare. Worst case for me was nearly 2months. Hope you're OK

Thank you for your reply. It's just awful isn't it 😖

I hear u, it's very hard to explain how u feel with virtigo , it's more than just dizziness.

I've been bad for over a week now.

I hate this feeling x

Hi it’s an endo symptom I’ve had for 10 years. Balance is non-existent. Can’t drive , go out or even walk far. Combined with other symptoms it’s evil. If it wasn’t for cats and family i wouldn’t be here. Now post menopause and no improvement. Also got current ear issues for past 5 months adding to it.

Hi no meds for dizziness. Took a few years before nhs accepted it was caused by endo and that’s only because I saw oxford bgse and they confirmed it. I went through physio for it which made me even worse. Nothing helps. Nausea is really bad too but I Now have other conditions which add to it. I’m on hrt and some nasal spray but hrt doesn’t improve most symptoms except hot flushes. Not the other 20 odd symptoms I have .

It's such a battle isn't it! We know our own bodies aye 💖

The doctor gave me some tablets - prochlorperazine. They're meant to help ease the symptoms 🤞

Thank u.I hope all goes well for u too x

Feel the pain. Definitely a thing and loathsome nausea that comes with it. I find management of gut is a big help here and is a indication of general overall inflammation. Post menopause hasn’t really dropped off.

Ah yes the nausea is awful. I'm on the waiting list for a hysterectomy but feel like I'm perimenopause now. It's definitely got worse since this x
