Question: March 4th unset sudden vertigo. ER visit, cat scan blood work good. Severe imbalance, dizziness. Med. Meclazine. Took three weeks to get 50-60%. Family doctor suggested Brandt Doroff exercises. Would do them and go into vertigo again, and two-three weeks setback, vestibular therapy also once but not doing those anymore. Sent to ENT, took away meclazine, numerous tests, found central and pheripheal vertigo symptoms. Said I had the ph vertigo in both ears. Did Eply on both sides showed some improvements. MRI, vascular ultrasound, optic and cranial pressure nerve tests ok. Kept pushing MAV as a diagnosis, then lost alot of hearing in right ear. Doing vestibular therapy which is helping some. ENT started me out on Nirptripyline, and my dizziness and imbalance is worse. Started my at 10 mg. also wants me to take a diuretic and Topomax. My family doctor had me on steroids early on as a treatment for inflammation, and it took me to a very dark place, as I am sensitive to meds. Im scared to take the Topomax because side effects. Its now more than 9 weeks, and Im feeling hopeless. ENT isnt ruling out Meiners Disease, but I dont show all the symptoms. I did have influenza A and bronchitis at the end of January. My ENT i feel is giving up on me, my therapist said if I dont show some progress in a month, he dont know what to do. Am I going to feel this horrible forever? The only time I go into vertigo after the first episode was when doing the Brants. They said it is the only way to get better. But a two-three week setback each time is not getting better to me, its a step backwards. Any glimmer of hope or just telling me what I am doing is the only thing to do. I am a generally healthy 46 year old woman. Take 20 mg lisinipril for hypertension.
