When i was in college, i lived with a French-speaking family for a month to learn to speak French. Every night i went to bed utterly exhausted. I think relearning balance compensation msy be similar. But also, i wonder if the same friggin virus may affect other parts of our body and produce fatigue in other ways as well.
I tend to think having a virus in us all the time can definitely cause fatigue. and according to a study I posted on the forums a few weeks ago they found the herpes virus is always active even when we thought it is latent.
I never feel tired after a vertigo attack. I will sit or lay down (if possible) and I do close my eyes, I can't bear to open them for the spinning, but after the attack I will always return to work or whatever. I believe I have Meniere's disease, but who knows for sure.
Hi Dwayne, That sounds just like what happens to me. I also have to close my eyes, but someone else who responded on the first page and gets tired after couldn't stand closing hers. I'm starting to find that there is a group of us who seem to have Meniere's but without the Meniere's type vertigo. I found that my vertigo was from two sources--MAV (Migraine Associated Vertigo) and BPPV. I was able to stop the BPPV vertigo with the Epley Maneuver and the MAV vertigo by eliminating the Migraine trigger (in my case, eyestrain--I got new glasses). Have you considered those possibilities?
bytheBay Happy to hear you got to the source of your vertigo and your attacks stopped! For me that is the worse symptom and the best one to get rid of .
