Archie-fox Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 I'm suffering from it at the moment, this has got to be the worst feeling I've had, it's like being dizzy and drunk...been to the doctors this morning and got some motion sickness tablets and anti-biotics..that should clear it up in a couple of days.. Anyone else had this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie-fox Posted December 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 I'm ok if I'm sat still but as soon as I move the room starts spinning... Been on the tablets since 10am and starting to feel a tiny bit more human again...just waiting for the wife to get home then i will pour it on and maybe get my tea made for me...

Did feel sick this morning, luckily I can walk to my local doctors as I didn't feel I could drive safely..hopefully it's just a 24 hour type of thing.

Aled Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Occasionally (or something v similar), but not when i'm afloat, about 3hours later. Spent my honeymoon on a cruise ship....it was about 2 weeks before all returned to normal! Get well soon mate. Cheers Aled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyska Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 I though i had it, i ******* wish it had been what i had. Make sure you get it sorted and watch out for recurrances because it came back on me and turned out to be something far more sinister that wasnt detected until two years after i first brought it to my quacks attention. I'm racking my brain Fister, would you elaborate? Obviously, if not, I understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobba Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Some years back my GP thought I had labrynthitis. A chance meeting with an ENT Consultant changed the diagnosis to Benign Positional Vertigo, which it proved to be. I understood at that time that some of the symptoms are similar,hence the original diagnosis. Get well soon, as they say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOLDCREST Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Sounds like congested and infected sinuses..Not nice...Anti B's should clear it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSS Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 My girlfriend suffered a couple of months ago, which, after a 5 day stay in hospital and numerous scans, turned out to be something more sinister too. But again, it's not contagious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njc110381 Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 I had it earlier this year. It's a nasty feeling and I didn't take it well as I suffer from motion sickness at the best of times. Luckily the medication put it under control very quickly and I was back at work in three days. I really couldn't even consider driving when I had it. I wouldn't have made it to the end of the street without hitting something. At times I could barely walk, and I fell over quite a few times! Looking back now it's hilarious, but at the time it was awful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

activeviii Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Every time i get a cold i end up with it. when i do get it, like now, i'm not allowed to drive or operate machinery. sit at the T-junction, you look left the right and its as if your eyes didn't stop and carry on going around your head. I tell the wife that the Kettle is machinery and im not allowed to operate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elegia Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 (edited) I had this and was house-bound for 6mths! As someone who instructs rock-climbing & mountaineering - it was pretty hellish. It took me a time after this to get over the associated vertigo feelings. I described it as feeling drunk all the time without the associated great ideas!!! I realise that all sounds a bit doom & gloom - but there have been no recurrences thus far (and it was a few years ago) and I know that some people recover very quickly and others less so.

I had something similar a couple of years ago and was told it was an inner ear infection, brushing my teeth one morning and slung my head back to gargle , had to hold the sink else I would of hit the floor, had it for a couple of weeks. I think what I am saying is,,,,,,,,,,,do NOT go shooting tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Sheen Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 If you aren't feeling better, ask for a metroclopramide injection whilst you are on the antibiotic to alleviate the sickness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
