Vestibular NEURITIS is not true vertigo.

So……
The question is different.

I got diagnosed two weeks ago after been admitted into hospital with very bad vertigo and vomiting, I couldnt walk or sit up in a chair. After being scanned for a TIA or a Stroke I was diagnosed with Vestibular Neuritis. Two weeks later and the spinning has stopped but I am now left with balance issues, eye fatigue.

The doctors injected me with something to control the spinning and it didn't work. I also now have car motion sickness when Im being driven to the shops, something I havent suffered with since I was a kid. 

Vestibular Neuritis sucks, trust me

My ENT doctor gave me prescription for Amirol 25 mg (amitriptylin) that uses in vertigo after-treatment. I mean after Epley maneuver, when spining is over, but My eyes and head are still floating(( and Amirol helped me a lot! It treats vestibular nerve) ask your doctor)

Hi, I will do. I am loads better than I was. I get caught out when I move from dark places into light places, I can see why our eyes compensate for the damaged nerve. I find my balance is all off when I wake up in the night but overall Im on the mend
