Lightheaded, brain fog...Not right

Hello everyone, 25/M

About a year ago I began experiencing some strange sensations which I sometimes have trouble finding the words to describe, but their presence is definitely there regardless. In a nutshell my symptoms seem to be fatigue, lightheadedness, "brain fog", trouble focusing, numbness and generally just feeling disconnected. I'm "not there" so to speak, both physically and mentally. I can still function in my daily life, but doing anything that requires real thought (including conversation) is very hard sometimes and it's sort of like my mind and body have been numbed and covered in novocain. I feel stoned and like things just aren't really hitting me so to speak. There are times when it's hard to even focus my eye sight on anything, as all my eyes want to do is drift off and blankly stare in to the middle distance while my head shuts. I'm like a zombie and talking to people is like struggling through improv. It doesn't feel natural and life is sort of like reading the words out of a book and understanding what they mean, but not quite having them quite connect. Sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy, or that I'm not even a real person...but again, it's hard to describe. I also have fatigue, which hits me very hard toward the end of the day (along with dizzy spells) and all I want to do is crash in my bed when I get home from work. I've also suddenly developed large bags/circles under my eyes over the last year, but I'm not sure how that could be related.

I've had every type of bloodwork done which all came back normal as did my EEG. This has brought me to the conclusion that it has to be something "mental" as opposed to physical, but whether that's anxiety, ADD, depression, depersonalization, post traumatic stress disorder or something else is hard to say. I tried taking Lexapro for a short while which may have helped a bit, but I stopped about a month in since it completely killed my libido and that wasn't even remotely acceptable to me.

Has anyone else experienced similar symptoms? Is this all in my head or are there physical disorders that can result in these feelings? My only other lead is that I started feeling this way shortly after I moved in to my new apartment, so it's possible there's some sort of mold that's making me have problems. I also feel somewhat better when I visit my parents out of state for a week, but that could very well just be in my head or a result of lessened anxiety...Who knows. I just need help and I honestly don't know what else to ask.

Hi, u didn't mention headaches so I will assume u do not have ne.U said u had blood work done...did u have ur thyroid checked as well as ur vitamin B12, nad D levels...also magnessium and potassium.

Some of the low levels of minerals and vitamins can cause some of the symptoms u describe.Please see ue dr to be sure u r replacing the right vitamins and minerals....at the right doseage.

Did u mention to ur dr about the move?....if there was new carpet...sometimes there is an odor from the chemicals used in the making of the carpet.

See ur PC again and explain all to him/her.

Good luck
Godspeed

No, I don't have headaches...which seems to rule a lot of things out I guess. I've had my thyroid checked and it came back normal and I take a multivitamin.

[imhistrionic]

I do understand how you feel dear.I have been feeling also so strange for almost 7 months now,I was having trouble in my head-->HEAVINESS and Slight Dizziness to be exact. I can perform my ADL's but still deep w/in I know something is wrong. had a lot of tests (ECG, blood chems,CT scan, cervical xray) though and all revealed a normal result.I consulted an internist, an optha,ENT and Neuro.They said I am healthy.Nothing is wrong.Still I am not at ease.In your case, Just relax and consult a physician.Whenever I am feeling unwell,I usually surf the net and look/research for my symptoms and guess what?Definitely I end up being paranoid and I feel like the things I saw in the net is already manifesting into my system.*****:)Anyway, I just wanna say that if all the tests revealed a normal result, there is nothing to worry.You are healthy.Good Luck to us.

Hi.
Your symptoms and observations are close to Multiple Chemical Sensitivity symptoms.Please follow Dr.Sherry A.Rogers,M.D. protocol in her book Detoxify or Die

What is mUltiple Chemical Sensitivity SymP?

[toddo1]

thank god i found u. i have brain fog. always.i feel stoned all the time. so i smoke weed to give me a reason for y i feel like this .i live in a dream state all the time. i look at my hands while im working and wonder how their doing what their doing.am i doing it or what. u have anxiety.try lorazapan.my voice doesnt feel like mine.im a mess .i always feel like im in turmoil.and somethings wrong. dont let others tell u your crazy. we will b laughing when they get it ,and they will.

[selmaS]

HI...I saw that u take a multi vitamin...that doesn't mean u could have a low level od B12 or D...if ur body is not absorbing the suppliments correctly it can cause a problem....and the items I mentioned were because u did not mention headaches....low levels of vitamins and minerals can cause dizzyness and numbness....brain fog too.

I hope u find the answers soon!

Godspeed

Hi,I am a 40 year old healthy female with onset of the exact same symptoms. It is very hard to explain. Lightheaded? Maybe. But not faint. Feeling  high is how I to desribe . I Feel weird. disconnected. Symptoms are always there but elevate with activity. Even light activity. Conversation can increase the feelings. Things just dont look right, I to have felt I am going crazy. I do not believe it is caused by anxiety or depression, i think it is causing me anxiety because its always there And every test was negative. I had MRI.EEG,MRA, CAt scans, ECHO blood work.. you name it. Today I did get my vitaminD checked  and it is very low. What that means. Right now I do not know. I AM  NOT DIZZY as people want it to be. I feel for you and I am glad to know other people experience this because it is scary. I went to an endocrinologist today and she did ask me about carpet, new floors, new move anything new. You should definilty consider the move. My symptoms have been going on for 8 wks solid and on./off  for a year.  I feel disconnected as you but I do not have the fatigue. at least I think I do not. I work 10 hours without issue and I am in the medical field. i see patients all day. I am not going to stop until I figure this out. It has to be physical to be daily. I am open to the idea of mental but what? A drug can make you feel better but that dooesnt mean its from depression. I have never been depressed. a little moody.. Yes.... I will keep in touch. I am starting a Vit. D supplement. Have you had your neck looked at? You should,Could be a a cervical vertigo type thing without the dizzy feeling. i have had my necked worked on 3 or 4 times and Im not posiitive yet but i felt less spacy, high and disconnected the next day.  Try it.. You need a awesome physical therapist for that.  It gets old trying to explain it. IThats what I call it. IT.. ITS always there...are your eyes sensitive to light. Mine seem to be.  I feel like I have a loose circiut in my brain. Its like watching a TV that is slight slight staticy all the time.  Question. If you close your eyes can you feel it?  or can only sense it with your eyes open?  IM curious.. Let me know

Speak with you soon,

[presley22]

I forgot to add. Those darks bags. I got em to. weird we both have that. Its pretty isnt it??

[dasavelinator]

Ok, i have literally had the exact symptom of you, i lose my train of thought, i feel like im in a sort of a dream world thats hard to explain constantly spacing out, i dont know how i get work done and somehow i get through the day. Every now and then i will get a sort of pass-out sensation that is hard to explain...im scared that i will just fall over. It all started the day i got back to school after i had flu A. i took an inhalant medicine called relenza, idk if that did it or it was the upper-respitory flu that did it. I also just realized that we added a new room to the house which may have contributed to it.......any suggestions??

[mwhiston]

Look up Meniere's Disease...sounds like it to me

[DebO78]

You described how I feel better than anyone else I have heard.  I will only add that my mind sometimes seems to turn over, or roll, as if it is trying to go into REM sleep while I am technically still awake (thats how I think of it anyway..I am a deep deep sleeper). Its the sensation in my head of having a vivid dream only I am awake and I can't concentrate in my surroundings.  Unfortunately I have MS. But your symptoms could be caused by anything.  When you get to the doctor's consider asking him about whether or not it'd be beneficial to you to try Provigil.  It's prescribed for a ton of various conditions and although no one is sure exactly how it works, it has helped me significantly. I don't feel jittery or high, I just feel awake, alert, and normal.  Good luck!

[aidog96]

I have these same exact symptoms and I am only 14...it seems to have started 2 years ago when our family added an addition and finished the basement of our house. Most of the people in this forum seem to have that one thing in common. Very odd.

[nybasketball212]

Has anybody had any success with this? I have this "high feeling" for 2 months now and am desparate for answers- have had to withdraw from school, please help.

[absurd]

Have had similar symptoms for years now.. The same "dreamy" spaced out feeling.. Ad it since I was 16-17, right after my family moved to a new city.  I don't feel tired at all.  No headaches.  Just feel like my mind is spaced out and as much as I try I can't force it to fully focus, to the point where I feel claustrophobic.. It's horrible.. going through the day on autopilot at the moment, desperately seeking answer

[clay196]

You all have depersonalization.

Get help.  You can get better.

[Kater3eb]

I know this is old but maybe you still check this... I have had your exact symptoms for 3 years now.. Tons of time and money later all they ever found was vit c defficiency. I've been taking vit d for a week now keeping my fingers crossed... You ever find anything???

[jonathonwoodsfansite]

after 2 weeks of working out eating healthy standing long hours ( i was leaning to 1 side at the  time ive noticed ) protien shakes around 1200 cals a day or more.... also 4 Ls of water  a day  ( exercises include  6 min abs bike riding  dumbbells sqauts and palaetes ) also abdominal massages to try loosen up the abdominal fat ( i am skinny )   i noticed  the left side poking out alot more then the right side  next to the belly button... i thought   :o ab!!??? then i realised no swelling... with a dul pain that radiates  sometimes down to my  hip bone  
im having a masive anxiety attack over this or its real ? first thing i thought was stomach cancer ? small intestine cancer ?  then i thought  i dont wanna tell my parents this and stress them out  first dr  said its normal just the intestine that moves i gave it  4 weeks with no exercises  
it was still there the 2nd  dr said  its abnormal but i shouldnt worry and relax come back in 2 weeks so i did so now he said he cant feel nothing while the abdominals have  swollen... ( it goes up and down )   after all of this im due for scans tomorrow wich freak me out making me  wanna just  sleep and not worry but i cant  cause i dislocated my arm for the 2nd time and cant sleep proper
ive also cleaned out a house im doing up to set for ppl to rent out  and there was mice feccies if theres any diseases in that ??
but the drs think im mad and no1 cares  
does anyone have any idea what this could be ??????( the dr also said while examined its not a hernia or a ceptic ulcer )

tomorrow i get an ultra sound and i wanna spew up
im scared that if they find something ill have to sneak it around my family and get it all done
also my arms dislocated the  other day and im now feeling like im broken  
this *****

after dislocating my shoulder 5 days ago ive been having a light head  and its driving me insane... anxiety attacks  
i keep thinking its a blood clot or something worse
does anyone know ????

[presley22]

I do get alerts when someone contacts me. I have made progress.  60-70% better. I believe some of my symptoms are the result of Adrenal fatigue/failure.  Which is not yet Adddisons disease thus NO DOCTOR will diagnose you bc according to bloodwork you fall within range. even if it by a hair.  anyway... long story. If you want further info let me know and i will fill you in on muy road since 1/2009 and How I progressed with MY OWN health... I understand what you are going through

[Helotours]

I have had many of the same symptoms.  About a year ago, I began having very severe tinnitus in both ears.  This was soon followed by a sense that "something was wrong" and I just "wasn't right."  I can't say that I am dizzy, but I have some lighthead feeling most of the day.  This is associated with a feeling that I'm a little bit off balance all day long.

I have had blood tests and all sorts or other tests to include body scans.  The only thing that they have found wrong is a very low level of Vitamin D.  I am now taking this to see if something changes.  I've only been taking it for about a week and I haven't noticed anything quite yet.

My other symptoms include sweaty palms and a slightly swollen tongue.  Vitamin B12 levels are normal.  Have purchased some allergy medicine and some Melatonin tonight to start trying and I have my fingers crossed.  I also am getting very dizzy in confined areas (like a museum or aquarium) where there is a lot of motion.  

I have been a helicopter pilot for many years and I have lost some of my mid range hearing.  I can't help but think that this has something to do with everything.  

Please contact me if you can offer any information.  Thanks.

[Helotours]

I might also add that I am a retired pilot, lol...

Hi guys,
I come from Germany and I have the same bad and weird feelings like described at the top. I have an overgrowth of Candida in my digestive system and probably as well in my stomach, "nose" and mouth.
PLEASE google for candida and its effects on the human body and mind. You will be surprised that even MS can be a result of candida overgrowth. The mother of my doctor´s had , I can´t remember MS or Parkinson. After  Candida was removed and her body  "healed" even the MS or parkinson went away!!!

[Samsen90]

I forgot to tell how I am feeling now. Well still my depression is quite heavy. But the doc found out 4 weeks ago and the treatment is now going for 4 weeks. My sister had the same problem and it took about 5 months until her body recovered remarkeable. But she recovered and is completely changed.

[Samsen90]

Please read my comment. Often when Candida grows it causes your intestine to "blow up" (sorry im German and my English is not the best ;) )

[Samsen90]

You are wrong!!! The doctor´s told the same to my sister!!! They just said: "Take anti depressiva and go to a psichologist."
BUT, the only thing where Candida in her intestine and after 5 months without candida, her brain and the rest of her body recovered and she is like a new being after several years of harsh depression!
Please think before you post such unsensitive statements in a forum where suffering people talk about their suffering!!!

[Samsen90]

sorry my last post should have been a reply to :

[01babyprincess]

All of you described my symptoms...it is an all day thing..I think there is something in the air turning us into zombies...The only thing I can think of is to start eating right.. I have been reading a lot of comments and looking up possible causes. I want a healthy natural way of fixing how I feel, I do not want drugs. So I will begin to eat right and see how that goes. I feel better that I am not the only one going crazy with these symptoms. Thanks for starting this post.

[Danomite123]

I too have had all of these symptoms that many of you have mentioned. It has been over 10 years now for me. I have had all the tests that a lot of you have endured, but have found nothing physically wrong with me. Has anyone else had success with a candida cleanse for alleviating the light headed, fatigue, and brain fog feeling that we are all experiencing ? Please let me know...

[acjecor]

this is very important as a lot of people and doctors do not think outside the box i believe that chemical imbalance can be detected at birth when the heal test is done as a baby why a chemical balance test is not done is beyond me .the information from people like yourself should be food for thought and again thak you for this. chris

[ctrl_z]

Dear Presley,

Can you please fill me in? I think I might be suffering from adrenal fatigue/failure and would really appreciate hearing about your experiences.

Lise

[ConteMoka]

Same here. I hoped to find some anwers because my life is miserable. I just had my second daughter and I initially thought it was sleep deprivation (my first daughter wakes up during the night and early in the morning).
problem is that even if I manage to sleep 8/9 hours, I feel "outside", my eyes are "lazy", my ears are buzzing (not always).
It feels like someone wakes you up in the middle of the night with a cannon.

[AMIRUL_FAHMI]

I have exactly same problem as yours. its already 4 years...but now i think its bit better..i fell like stranger to my body.at certain point i felt like i'm inside a robot...sometimes, i wonder "who i am".it's like i'm inside the body and used it...like a spirit inside a body.it's like my brain does not have a proper connection with the body or sense...my eye hard to focus on thing..just like you say, my eye just drift away....its hard when driving a car...very dangerous because its become not alert...i fell like my brain is floating ...numb.... its hard to remember anything when study or at college...always easy to fell tired..sometimes, i also had a sharp pain inside my ear drum... but, from my opinion, i thing this is cause from lack of exercise, eating habit ( lack nutrition ) and stress/depression... all, i want to say is, go outside, and have a fun with yours friend and also have a healthy live style.. for my , conclusion, brain is a tricky thing in this world that need us to deal with...( f__k you brain....lol..;D)

[miricum]

that is exactly what i feel. that also happened to me when i smoked weed, which i dont do anymore. but i hate the feeling cause i feel like im going to faint and my hands start getting sweaty and its just horrible

[jr991]

I have also been feeling this way for the past 8 years or so... experiencing the following:

Here’s a list of symptoms that I am experiencing on a daily basis now

• Dizzy, wozziness, off balance feeling
• Feeling spaced out all the time, like my eyes are in a daze
• Concentration is terrible, brain fog all the time
• Feeling of pressure in my head
• Eyes feel unfocused
• Eye floaters
• Eye pain (they feel strained and tension like headache across my forehead and into temple area)
• Light sensitivity
• After images (especially when reading off a computer screen… if I look away I will see the text faintly on the wall for example)
• Tinnitus
• Dull ear ache feeling off and on
• Ears sometimes feel like they need to pop
• No energy at all, feeling fatigued all the time, yawning all day long
• Chronic nasal stuffiness, nose always feels plugged, always clearing my throat
• Chronic stomach problems
• Muscle twitching, aches and weakness
• Headaches at base of skull

[savsters]

I'm trying to do everything right like exercise regular eat my 5 a day plus plenty of water etc etc
Thanks

[silverymoon]

16 y/o female

Glad to hear other people have this as well, but sorry at the same time-it's like a nightmare, I know.
I'm having to drop out of school as well, currently doing A Levels-hoping doing an apprenticeship might help as something more practical...? I just know that it is hopeless trying to study. I hear others are having to drop out of education as well due to this. I wish it was taken more seriously because clearly this is a really debilitating thing.

I have just had the worst day I can remember having-have felt totally disconnected, like living in a dream world, just going through the motions-my one goal has been just appearing totally normal and fine, although I'm not sure why I'm always so determined to keep up this facade. I feel like I have just lost an entire day of my life, it's horrible. I just want to snap myself out of this.

I've told my counsellor about this "depersonalisation", but, as always happens when I describe this symptom, she doesn't seem to take it too seriously yet, although I've only had one session with her so far. I just can't convey to people who don't suffer with this just how terrifying it is. I'm constantly *thinking*, over-thinking, analysing my thought processes... I am ALWAYS thinking in an existential way, questioning whether I "exist" and panicking and getting upset because I don't feel like I used to.

Eurgh. I just wanted to say, though, it's probably worth remembering that trawling through the internet with a list of vague symptoms like "feeling disconnected" and then gradually getting more and more freaked out can sometimes really make thngs worse (I know, I do it all the time-I'm doing it now ¬¬). I guess being calm is what helps.
I just want to get back to normal :/

has ANYone had any success AT ALL with this?!
I'm really desperate for some answers here.

[samsen13]

Hi,
I know the same feelings, especially the question if i exist and my past is MY past. Really freaky. Also the dizzyness and the disconnected feeling.
Well my past wasn´t one of the easiest. I was born in Africa, lived there for 9 years and half a year before we came back to Germay my father died really suddenly with noone even expecting. both the moove from the nowhere in africa to Berlin and the death of my father beamed me out of this world(in feelings).
This is some of the mental part of it. This always being unsecure with noone to run to thinking in existential ways like: Will we be able to live in Germany without my father. s.o.

Now the "physical" part. After researching a lot a doctop had an idea: Due to antibiotics over a long time my intestine got messed up. so the theory.
well, he searched by a special method for antibodies in my blood. And surprise surprise! there was a huge amount of intolerances found, almost everything i ate a lot in the past. I really was sceptic in the beginning... I always am with such things. But i thought just give it a try.

Well now it is about 7-8 month later and my over all condition is really getting better. Not 100 %, not 70 % but about 50- 60 % i guess ;)
(i think a human is not capable of 100%. Its a lie of our society making us to "robots")

But im also working on my problems. On my past. On my anxieties. I discovered that if you fear something you start to feel like it after some time or immediately which makes it hard to put in the right place. E.g. if you fear being raped, you start to see in every one at night potential rapists. Or if you fear "monsters" in a dark forest you feel like there is already one behind you. If you fear not existing, you already FEEL like youre not existing. Those feelings can be very disturbing but one can learn not to listen to them and know the truth behind it: you exist.

Im a christian and the thing that helped me a lot was realizing that i cant get out of this on my own. I have no security in getting my own live to work by my own. There are so many things i can not controle!!! Even trying to believe in Jesus was like a thing i could never accomplish. Then i realized that he is the one giving me hope and believe in him. The only thing that can confince me of being saved and loved is not by me doing something, but by god choosing me/us to be his children. At this point a lot of stress fell off of me. I have found the secure place to go. I am not the victim of my faults because he loves and holds me whatever will come. Great hope :)

I also go to a therapist and talk a lot with my pastor.
My advice is: go to Jesus. Get people whom you can trust and talk a lot with them. Sport. A doctor for your intestine. A therapist.

Work on your body and your "soul". I think only doing something for one of these parts isnt going to help that much.

[xjennabennax416]

I am a 25 yr old female. Ive been having these same symptoms for almost 6 months. Ive been tested for thyroid, STDs, Lyme, Vitamin D, Vitamin Bs, Liver/kidney function and the only thing that came back not normal (21 when the range should be between 40-80) was my vitamin D. My doc put me on 2000IU a day with daily vitamin+supplement. She retested me after being on it for 2 months and it only went up to 28. She doesnt want to up my supplement but I did it anyways. I am taking 7000IU a day right now and have been for about a week now and dont feel any better, but was told it can take time. I was convinced for almost a month that I had neurological lyme disease but my doctor will not treat me with doxycyline because me western blot tests came back negative (no bands at all for both IgG and IgM). Im hoping it is just the vitamin D deficiency. I am thinking about doing the candida diet for a month which also detoxes the body naturally which can help make you feel better. Everyone who is having mind fog should have their vitamins tested! When I first told my doctor about the brain fog, she kept asking me to describe it. I told her that is how I describe it.. my mind is in a fog. Hard time concentrating, i feel groggy/tired/out of it kind of like when you are sick.. she said it could be due to hundreds of things. I hope its not some serious underlying disease that will be left untreated for years.. we'll see how upping my vitamin D intake helps! Going to see a neurologist next week to have another doctors opinion. The only other thing I might try is an antidepressant even tho I do not feel depressed, just kind down and miserable because of this feeling of disconnection between my mind and real life.

[xjennabennax416]

Have you had an MRI? I have a lot of your symptoms and I just got diagnosed with pineal cysts in the pineal gland in my head. Ive done research and most says that these are not symptoms of pineal cysts, yet looking into forums and blogs, many people with these types of cysts have these symptoms as well as headaches/migranes, nausea, trouble sleeping. Just a suggestion! :-)

[pebble1987]

Is this thread still visited? I have something similar and I don't know what it is or how to describe it. Lightheadedness, disoriented, hard to concentrate, difficulty understanding people talking, sometimes it seems I can't process words which scares me. 26/female, my brain can't stop working now...it could be vision, I've had anisometropia my whole life, and was never really able to fix that. I have glasses, but it's hard to get used to them. The clarity from lenses can be equally unsettling. I really really hate having things in my eyes, contacts have always been too uncomfortable. I don't know! When it comes to vision, maybe laser eye surgery would be the only treatment.
With the lightheadedness, I am on medications so this could be a side effect of something. Unfortunately it's hard to figure out which one! For insomnia, I've gone down to just prescription Restoril. I slept better than I thought I would, but took longer to fall asleep. Better one medicine than five. I think I could adjust to it, it will just take some time. Perhaps the lightheadedness is just a result of poor sleep. Sleep doesn't restore me like it used to, I have a general little bit of fatigue no matter what. I gave up caffeine, I certainly don't drink with the meds I'm on, never smoked, sleep is still hard.

I'm in a treatment stage for eating disorders, so I stick to a regular balanced meal plan. I'll say on a path to recovery, just not there. You may have heard of EDs that are in recovery or a person is a recovered, I'm in the phase before that. If that's relevant. ED It took its toll in many other ways. This dizzy thing is recent.

Sorting out daytime medicines is harder. I have IBS and IC (think urinary tract infection always). IBS I put up with it, it's not good, but the interstitial cystitis is a huge interruption to my life. I tried the one prescription meant to treat this, and that had its own bad side effects. I found a regimen that works for this. Vesicare and Pyridium. These are two of the daytime meds, I really can't drop these. Same is true for my antidepressant. We have one that works and I don't like being depressed. That shouldn't be eliminated. I take Prelief as well, but this is totally harmless, just helps with the acidity of food. Borth control has never caused anything like this before. I gave up OTC pain medicines when I stopped having bad morning pain. Last is a multivitamin. I take Zofran or Zantac or Nauzene when I feel queasy or reflux. As needed medicines.

But all of these are medicines or conditions I've had or taken before the onset of this. There are a lot of them, but I just can't figure out the cause. It could be something else altogether.

It feels a lot like my mind trails too far behind...my body? I don't know. When I get this thing, there are times when I will see and hear things, but it takes several seconds to process such stimuli. Usually if someone is talking, at that point, they've moved on, so it's like I can't follow them not because I don't understand words, but because my brain can't quite keep up. This part isn't constant. Comes and goes, these are just short episodes. The lightheadedness, when it comes, really is constant and rest doesn't always help at all.

I will point out one incident, it's only ever happened once, but it was a week ago, so recent...I was working late and didn't get to sleep by midnight, those are rare nights. I got so drowsy at work in the morning that I almost fell asleep. I say almost just because I was still conscious, and aware, but what I did experience was kind of freaky. At first it was just that I'd close my eyes and get a very colorful show, just whirls of colors. My body seemed to fall asleep, I was still aware though. Then I got this sensation that my brain was vibrating. Buzzing, maybe. I felt it and heard it. I'm sure it was vibrating, that something else was happening, but when I gave up trying to fully fall asleep, the vibration didn't stop. I could put my hand on the top of my head and feel the shaking. It was gone in the morning, it just went into a terrible virus that took me out of work for the rest of the week :(

sooooooooo if anyone has any, any idea of what I should do now, please let me know! Thank you.

[lorianna68]

I have Meneirs disease and all the symptoms mentioned is what I experience.  It took almost 8 years for me to be diagnosed.  I was told that my symptoms are text book for Meneirs Disease.  Pretty scary and sad that no other doctor mentioned it as a possibility.

I feel exactly the same way I am 25 years old and currently 7 months pregnant I had my first child at 22 and shortly after I would get these same symptoms one other thing was when I workout I find myself yawning and tired. I seem to be having more issues now probably because I'm pregnant again but of course all the doctor say test come back fine and its normal when pregnant but its not normal I feel out of my body I feel like my eyes are crisscrossing and I can't focus on anything it's very annoying in recently is causing problems at work because I can't focus I'm making mistakes on little things I also get dizzy or faint only thing that helps me is eating something small and the biggest thing is drinking Gatorade that's the only way I'll start to feel betterI haven't seen or received any answers on any of this but will talk to my doctor on Tuesday

I have the same symptoms many have posted.  I did the blood panel test, emg on my feet for loss of feeling. Everything negative so far.  Having MRI done on my brain next week.

One thing common that I have seen in other threads, I have had adrenal tests and my levels are extremely bad.  I think all of this correlates to years and years of abnormal stress and the adrenals fatigued.  fwiw.

I have been experiencing the same symptoms since early April.  What seemed to trigger it was I launched myself fully into yoga, and after two sessions I was experiencing so many head rushes and dizziness that I stayed home from work for a few days to rest.  I suspected Miniere's disease because I think I've had issues with that in the past, or possibly some sort pf problem with pinched nerves.  I suffer from days of dizziness and roaming numbness in my right arm and occasionally in my feet, some days of brain fog and concentration and speaking problems, and some days I have just the dizziness.  Sometimes the arm numbness reminds ,e of writing with a pen on a wall -if you don't hold the pen so the ink can flow, it runs out. My hand feels the same way... It tingles if the angle at my wrist is not pointing down.   My skin has also gotten worse -3-5 system acne flare ups at once, my eye sight is getting worse (like I need reading glasses to see what food I'm putting in my mouth) and I'm also experiencing the after images someone previously described.  I also have had occasional insomnia and gassy stomach immediately after eating... like getting super bloated and gas cramps, with no gas.  Some days are better, some days are worse.  I am sometimes actually better at work, and am usually worst if I'm tired or hungry.    

I am a 36 year old female and am relatively healthy but I do have scoliosis and my dad has anklyosing spondylitis.  I am a former smoker - I smoked for 15 years -but quit 5 years ago.  I used to drink 5 nights a week, but quit again, 5 years ago (when I was pregnant) and now only have 1 drink a week.  

So far they've done all the standard blood tests, including B12 and Lyme's Disease, and I did test positive on the ANA test (antinucleic antibodies), which can result in false positives.  MRI and MRA of head were clear.  Going to do another MRI soon of the neck to see if there is a bulging disk or some sort of artery problem.  

I will come back to the group and let everyone know of anything works.  So far my mother just keeps telling me I need more sleep.  My sister also had cystic acne for years and recently started taking vitamin D and has clear skin now.  I saw others mentioned vitamin D so maybe my skin is trying to tell me something.  I will buy some tomorrow!

I would love to talk to you about your health problems. I am experiencing the exact same things with no answers. Would you be willing to let me know what worked for you?  Thanks.

[bytha2818]
