Hi

I wonder if you might benefit from wearing some anti-seasick wristbands for a few weeks ? Non - pharmacological so wouldn't interfere with any drugs you have to take and def helped me when I had vertigo / labyrinthitis.

Most chemists sell them...or my last set came much cheaper from an outdoor shop....mountain warehouse or somewhere similar....:-)

I recently suffered from post concussion syndrome too Louise after a bang on the head after a fall. I have 'Ataxia' so I wobble all the time anyway. Dizziness was a problem for me too, as was constant headaches. It took about a month before I got back to normal again. Hope your okay now? Maybe your doctor could prescribe something for your dizzy/wobbliness? I was prescribed prochlorperazine for dizziness. I also found them good when I went on a cruise holiday recently'

Yes, I've had totteryness, and almost like slightly drunk, like an invisible cord was pulling me to the right as I walked across open spaces. I had a fall from my horse 18 months ago, knocked out for 10 minuts, helmet on. Quite by chance I found the glasses I use for driving (just one notch in long-range sightedness) really help, I'm OK in the house, but outside I need them and now my foot-fall is much more secure, insted of feeling I'm drifitng slightly, I can march along firmly. Try it. I try everything! Good luck. Never give up xx

I'm am going through this now, it has been over a year for me, and 3 years since my accident, with medication not helping that much. I've had flu over 3 weeks ago and now I find that my Wobbliness and coordination, and cognitive behaviour has got worse again, ie burnt myself on pan, forgot to put cup under coffee make all feeling very unbalanced. Have you had any illness at all, as I'm finding this does make the codintion worse.

Hi Womble

No I've not had an illness just one of the symptoms from the fall I had. it did get better but if I overdo it I get that horrible fuzzy/ wobbly feeling. my coordination is ok.. Mine is 4 months, I was hoping it was something that would get better in time, but looks like my symptoms just keep popping up gain after I think they have gone!

Hi, I am 3 weeks after a frontal bone fracture+ maxillary sinus fracture. I wouldn't say I am feeling dizzy, the world never spinned around me and never had what people call a "double vision", it's just that when I woke up in the morning as I sleep on the right side, if I roll back it feels like somehow the bed "sinks in" a bit? Again it's not double vision and the things aren't spinning and never fainted. It's just that I get this feeling occasionally.
