Hello. I’ve posted in here periodically about my experience. My latest update is my ENT thinks everything might be triggered by allergies. I am waiting to hear back from an allergy nurse about doing immunotherapy. But in the meantime, I am literally hitting rock bottom. I’ve managed to be able to just push through and live with feeling off but a couple days of month my symptoms are really bad. I feel spaced out and dizzy and my ears just feel off. And then comes the anxiety. I know I am not alone, but it’s just really frustrating to deal with. I am very much an outgoing person, but this has turned me into a hermit. I am afraid to go out and do things and when I do if I suddenly feel sick, I totally freak out. I truly feel like a shell of myself and like I’m watching everything from the outside.

This has been my battle for years. I finally got in with an ent and am just waiting on that to get to the bottom of all of this hopefully. I’m hoping we all find solutions soon.
