Hello,
Iāve been reading this site off an on since I started feeling balance difficulties last September. Iāve been to a neurologist, an ENT, my primary care, my cardiologist. Iāve had a bunch of tests that have all been negative luckily Iāve had 30+ years of the painful head ponding types of headaches but this feeling of walking on a ship or waterbed all the time is 9 months old. Iāve tried some vestibular therapy that worked a bit. Iām on Topamax but it was making me feel more dizzy so I backed off taking it 2x daily to 1x daily. The Topamax was recommended by my primary care.

Hi Laura and welcome. Sorry to hear of your struggles. Now youāve got contacts for some more specialists who hopefully are within your reach hope things will eventually start to improve. That off balance feeling of āwalking on a shipā is prevalent. Itās also very difficult to shift. Took me eight months on 130mg daily Propranolol before it stopped being continuous for me then the feeling returned later manifesting in various other guises. After nearly eighteen years of this condition I think I can safely say the āimbalanceā/ādisequilibriumā has been its most persistent form of expression. Chronic VM can be very difficult to get under control. I wish you all the best with the journey.
