chronic & complicated dizziness

[Guest guest]

Hello

I must admit to being more than a little mystifed by this case and am sure I

must be missing something.

Would appreciate it if anyone has any ideas here:

43 year old female presenting with severe and constant dizziness for the past 21

years.

She says it is not vertigo but dizziness where her eyes feel they are pointing

in all directions. ( no nystagmus)

She has a lot of congested mucous - sinus congestion, sinus headaches, mucous

coming out of her eyes, eyes burning and sore. Constant post nasal drip but

nothing out of nose.

Steam inhalations make her feel worse.

The dizziness is associated always with nausea and fatigue.

She gets 'fluey' if she overdoes things, a short ride on a tandem bike put her

in bed for 9 days.

At night she gets fidgety limbs, her sleep is very poor, seldom asleep before

2am as dizziness is so fast.

She has had severe mucous production since childhood but does feel that the

worse the mucous is, the worse the dizziness is.

Onset of dizziness was on ski-ing holiday where she came down with a severe

headache, sore throat and earache, the headache lasted 2 weeks during which time

she was aware of classical music, this sounded like it was external but in fact

was in her head day and night. she could see electrical wiring even with her

eyes open, green red and yellow.

Her bowls became very loose with onset of dizziness, bloating and discomfort.

She reports an urgency for passing urine when dizziness very bad.

Glands in neck painful and lumpy

she has seen neurologists, had MRI scan, ENT consultant no dx

cranial osteopath helped first treatment where lots of mucous shifted,

thereafter no change so gave up. She has seen Homeopath and kinesiologist.

PMH tonsilectomy age 18

Her first rx seemed to really help for a short while, the mucous was less, eyes

much improved, dizziness reduced to a 7 and at one point was almost absent. She

stayed on the same rx for about 9 weeks, the symptoms returned as severe as

before

her mix was:

Plantago

Glechoma

Astragalus

phytolacca

Calendula

I added in a small amount of hydrastis and gave her mediherb euphrasia tablets

for 4 weeks - with the hydrastis she reported elimination of lots of clear

mucous from right nostril followed by a few drops of blood, followed by an

improvement of dizziness to a 6/10 then as before all returned to as it was

before.

She avoids dairy and has little red meat, mostly fish, tofu. plenty of veggies,

fruit and water.

Im not sure where to go next, it seems we get on the right track for a minute

then.. no..

what am I missing? am I not seeing the woods for the tree's?

thanks in advance
