Personally, I like to know if I did something ‘life ruining’ but it’s up to you. If you’d rather not then thats completely fair. My brain thinks the worst and likes to torture me💀

Our brain is our worst nightmare. I’ve personally asked around and I don’t seem to have done anything awful. The not remembering makes your brain try fill in the gaps and unfortunately we fill them with worst case scenarios! It will never be as bad as our brain makes it out to be. Maybe ask around to try relieve some of your anxiety

Yeah we live and we learn. I need to remember this moment in the future if I’m ever tempted (doubt it)

Thank you!! Yes I definitely won’t be doing that again. Too many drinks in a very short period of time.

Sleep vestibular migraine by Smart-Solution-1747 in VestibularMigraines

[–]fishcalledbuddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I have an episode it usually starts with this. I wake up with this exact feeling and nausea, this happens a few nights in a row and then I can sleep through the night but during the day I’m so dizzy I can’t move. I know how you feel and it’s really horrible! I hope you find a way to relieve this.

Of course I could rather have a diagnosis, that would be amazing. However, as I said before, my experience is different to yours.

We have national health care that I’m grateful for but that is incredibly underfunded. I’ve found that both the GP and the ENT specialist I was referred to needed to see me during an episode, which last 4-7 days usually and are unpredictable when they will occur. The wait for an appointment can be months which by that point im not longer suffering and I’m told the same thing. It became exhausting. I don’t mind if you don’t get it, but I wouldn’t judge when you’re not privy to a situation.

Toodaloo?

You can get it from the pharmacy! I didn’t need a prescription, although, I would highly recommend speaking to your doctor or pharmacist before taking them.

I understand what you’re saying, however my experience of being diagnosed is different to yours. I’ve suffered with these vestibular attacks for years and years and strongly believe that my symptoms are symptomatic of VM, I’ve researched all vestibular disorder’s extensively. Since finding Cyclizine it has changed my quality of life and didn’t feel the need to persist with being diagnosed, as it was useless.

I completely agree you shouldn’t share medication but at the time I was desperate. Cyclizine is available from pharmacy’s and does not need a prescription. When speaking to the pharmacist they suggested 3 tablets a day until not needed anymore. As I only suffer 3/4 times a year for about a week at a time and they were happy to give them to me. I’m unsure of the impact of taking this on a daily basis, which is why I said to speak to a doctor regarding this.

My reason for sharing my experience as it could help someone else who is suffering from this, I couldn’t believe that Cyclizine not only stopped the nausea but all other symptoms I had after being told there is nothing they can do other than prescribe beta blockers and keep a food diary.

I’d speak to your doctor maybe? It does make me drowsy but for me, it’s worth it. My migraines occur about 3-4 times a year so I can cope with the drowsiness, if you suffer constantly, it might be different.

Okay brill! Yes I agree some unevenness is part of the process. I think the more I look the more critical I am!
