Guest guest Posted December 17, 2001 Report Share Posted December 17, 2001 Hi, Thanks to those who tried to help with this horrible vertigo. Unfortunately nothing has helped. I appreciate all of your input very much. I dont know what is worse, vertigo or the nausea that goes with it. I cannot eat except little bites of crackers and can only drink 7 up. Doesnt do much for the caffiene headache! I called all my doctors and none of them can help me. they just tell me I have to wait for my Feb. appt. Great, no eating for 2 months. Every time I call Dr Frims office these days he is of no help to me. He says he has no answers. My pcp wont give me anything, he thinks I am a drug addict hypochondriac. So I guess I go on like this until I dehydrate or something and go to the ER for starvation or in one of my falls I break my head open. I am literally bouncing off the walls. All I hear anymore is we cant help you. I guess I should just shut up and be sick and not bother anyone. There is no hope. I finally get my energy back and am too dizzy to enjoy it. I just cant believe with all the medical breakthroughs these days that they cant even treat dizziness. Guess they should keep practicing. Sorry for whining, I want my life back!!!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2001 Report Share Posted December 19, 2001 Laurie: Have you tried an Ear, Nose, Throat doctor? I still have mild dizziness. More severe dizziness can be a sign of meniere's disease - treatment for that is a dieuretic (sp) and low salt diet - and the ENT can diagnose the problems. Good luck Lorene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
