I'm glad to have found this forum. I'm currently in the workup stages to find out the cause of the symptoms I have had for a long time but that have recently gotten worse and more frequent. The foggy head feeling that never goes away, the confusion, constant tinnitus, and of course the nasty vertigo. Then the exhaustion after a bad vertigo episode. I recently had a bad vertigo attack while at work. I was in a patients home and I am a hospice nurse. I ended up on the floor with another nurse tending to me. Major embarrassment! Having read quite a few stories on here is like stepping into my world in what I've been dealing with. I told my wife, "these folks are saying the same exact same things I've been saying for years now."
Welcome, Dave. MM can be a debilitating, embarrassing and frustrating disease. On this board not only are you not alone, but there is a wealth of info and super knowledgeable people here. We have all had at least one of those attacks where you are totally out of place and helpless. One of my first big ones was at work when I was at Best Buy, I was in the middle of selling a big camera setup when it hit, I just said "I'm sorry" to the customer, turned and basically crawled to the bathroom where I vomited until the ambulance showed up. Years later, I've started antiviral meds, been to the chiropractor for atlas adjustments and am taking supplements, all of which are seeming to help me. Take a look around, ask questions and good luck!
Welcome Dave RN Your post probably should have been posted in the living room. Hope you find some answers here on this forum.
