Some help me please

[hsanchez879114]

I'm hoping someone out there can help me somehow. This all started may 11th when I got a condition called labyrnthitis, it caused me to have vertigo for about two weeks, which were some of the worst of my life. I could barely eat and pretty much paced and cried in a panic the whole time. It started to subside and I thought everything was okay but I woke up the next day and things just didn't look right. Now I'm in this constant almost brain fog? I don't know how to describe it besides the fact that everything looks kind of darker and I just feel like I'm not here or semi drunk or something. I wake up with it everyday and am so afraid because I can't escape it, I have no safe place from it and can never relax except sometimes at night because I know I can go to sleep and get away from it soon. I saw a psychiatrist who gave me klonopin but it didn't help and I am in the process of getting off of it. I'm so scared every single day and I can't ever stop thinking about the feeling, It feels like my mind is so loud now and I notice every single thought! , I also have physical symptoms, very bad nausea and diarrhea and pressure and pain on the right side of my face and jaw and my neck. I've looked all over the web for answers and some have scared me even more about people having this for years!!

Please someone help me, I'm a mom of 3 small kiddos and they need me to be better and stronger!

Before I respond... let me ask you some follow up questions . First. How long have you been suffering from this? And second. Is it viral or bacterial? And third... how long were you suffering from this before you seen a doctor. You see your labyrinth controls nit only your ability to hear but,also your balance. When your labyrinth is infected. . It effects the signals to your brain and when the signals are "screwy" ... . Not only that, it depends on how long you've gone without treatment. If you've waited too long to get treatment then there's a chance that you may have sustained permanent damage. Go back and see your doctor and explain your predicament. If however .. you did get treatment on time... then as soon as the infection subsides. .. so should your symptoms. Good luck sweetie and this will be very uncomfortable but, hang in there. And btw.. one side effect of klonapine.. is dizziness.

I did see a doctor about it right at the start and they had me on prednisone for 8 days but had me stop because they thought it was making the anxiety worse.

I've had these symptoms since may 11th. The dizziness isn't a spinning but it feels like I'm being pulled to the side kind of? And it also feels like my brain can't really process what I'm seeingfast enough? If that even makes sense it's so hard to describe the feeling. The ent will not see me again as he thinks this is all anxiety related and post partum depression because I had a son 8 weeks ago, but I was literally fine until this ear thing, now it's like my life is over. It's all I think about, I can't enjoy anything or even watch tv.

The one thing that you should relize us that what your going through is completely normal and although it is scary .. you should keep telling yourself that " this will pass". And that's where most of your anxiety is coming from.. the uncertainty. Your doctor blaming some of your symptoms on anxiety. . Maybe? But, if you want to be sure.. I mean really sure. Go see a neurologist.

Hello there @hsanchez879114 welcome to the forum. I'm sorry that you are suffering. It sounds like you need to go back to the doctor or go and see a different doctor to get a second opinion. Concerned Gal has the right idea and go and see a Neurologist as they would be able to do tests and make sure what it is you are suffering from. You should have recovered from vertigo by now. It sounds strange that you have a pulling to one side?

Stay strong and get back to your doc asap. Your life isn't over. This is just a temporary thing and there should be some medic out there that knows how to treat your symptoms properly. All too often I hear about doctors not listening to us properly.
