I have constant mdds-like sensations (false motion etc.) for four months now; woke up two days after a month of backpacking with these sensations. I have a couple of questions as it seems mav and mdds are similar in some ways.
I got my first dizziness sensation after I smoked weed the first time (stopped by Amsterdam); first everything started to shift/move in my vision, especially in the periphal field. I thought that was normal. Then all of a sudden I got roaring tinnitus which came in waves, and by each wave it felt as if I was on a boat in rough seas, freefalling (you know the sensation in you stomach when you’re on a wild ride)… Sounds were somewhat distorted as well.
The next day I was much better but could no longer tolerate my anti-acids (protonpumpinhibitor) for reflux as they gave me the same sensations as when i smoked put, only milder. I got really dizzy in the Vahn Gogh museum and did not realise it was because of the anti-acids till it happened again the next day…
It took a full week before I was “normal”, but I noticed that I now experienced “high altitude dizziness” (don’t know the name in english). Later on the trip I got DIZZY again from one beer, and then a few days later from a cup of coffe, only those episodes were only an hour or two. Also milk and egg tasted rotten; but that taste-change diminished over 2 weeks until it was barely noticable.
Woke up two days after comming home with these mdds sensations: I feel “false motion” that goes away when i’m in passive motion, I have a slight headache along with a dislocated feeling constantly. It definately gets worse when I have trouble sleeping (which I’ve had till now, just started taking antihistamines before bedtime). I’ve noticed that I have taste-changes that go along with the levels of rocking. It’s only milk for some reason, which tastes increasingly YUCK depending on how much I rock. When I am on a level 1 of 10 (which I am on many days thankfully) I BARELY taste the yuckiness, but when I’m on a 3 or 4 I can’t drink the milk as it tastes so bad.
Oh I also feel my heartbeat all over the place; it’s like my entire body is beating along with that, altough the place where it’s pronounced shifts. Often it’s in my entire head, but sometimes only onesided; I also often feel it (and tremble to it!) in my back when I’m lying down.
Could these sensations be migranious? My mother started having her migraines in her early twenties and I’m 21.
Thanks!
