Constant Dizziness For 10 Years Posted: 09-09-07 07:40am
Question: I got taken to hospital 10 years
ago. Had a tingling go through my head,
lost all senses/balance, felt all tingly,
sweats, vomitted. Had a CT Scan and Lumbar
Puncture (unremarkable). Got sent home the
next day. Went back and forth to the docs
because i never really got better. Had
splitting headache from LP for 3 weeks.
Lumps came up on my legs and was diagnosed
as Panniculitis. These continued
periodically for the last 8 years. No
cause was found. Usually before the lumps
appeared i would have a severe
faint/dizzy/poisoned feeling which would
persist for at least a couple of months. I
have not had the lumps for a couple of
years but feel my health has deteriated.
At best i feel concussed/dizzy. At worst i
have a tingly feeling go through my head
then like a "power has been turned off
feeling" and lose balance (not spinning).
This persists for hours/days and then is
followed by months of feeling
poisoned/dizzy/concussed to the point
where my brain is totally fried. ANY IDEAS
PLEASE HELP. Have tried numerous migraine
medication to no avail. Alprazolam and
Diazepam can sometimes give me slight
relief.
