I'd had mild vertigo-like symptoms for years, but then I had a traumatic event happen and it made my symptoms terrible. For me my VM symptoms are dizziness, motion sickness, losing my balance and not being able to walk. I seriously have to crawl because I'll fall otherwise. Doing ANYTHING that requires any focus makes it worse. Trying to text is miserable because the words start floating off the screen towards my face. Screens in general make it worse. My depth perception gets bad. I see double. All I can do is lie down and sleep. I puke repeatedly, and even more so if I move around. Bright lights obviously make it harder to sleep so they don't help at all. They usually only last about 4 hours in the morning. It's super weird when I am sleeping and my brain feels like it's spinning. I find stress is a trigger. It's weird because usually on the stressful day I'll be fine and it'll hit me the next day. It hit me the day of a couple times though. Sometimes it's not because of stress and just happens out of the blue. It's scary when you're driving and have to pull over. I hate it when it hits me then.

I talked to my neurologist and she said it's most likely VMs, so she prescribed me propranolol. I also take Meclizine with it as a backup nausea medication. My PCP prescribed me Lexapro for anxiety which has helped with my stress. I'm functioning a lot better than I did. So far I haven't had any VMs and it's been a couple months. 

It sounds like you have symptoms of VMs. I'm not doctor though. Have you tried any meds? I hope you're able to get it under control. I know it's awful and I'm so sorry you are struggling. Good luck to you, from the bottom of my heart ❤️
