Hi all
First and foremost it is awesome that this forum exists. Its nice to know im not going through this alone. So i work 45 hours a week. Ive been 100% for a few years now. I was diagnosed in 2007. I took nort 25mg 1 capsule a night for a few years then stopped taking it in mid 2010. I am now having a huge mav flare up. I work at a store and i cant even walk down an aisle without it triggering vertigo. I feel like i need a walker lol mind u i am 23 years old. Perfectly healthy too. So i went back to the doc and asked for nort again since it worked so well the first time. It was awesome…no side effects and it took my vertigo and headaches away. Well this time around i feel it has made things worse. I got more vertigo after i started it again. My doc only gave me 10mg this time and i even tried to take it every other night and no luck so i stopped the meds. Maybe i should just go back on it anyways cause i cant imagine this getting worse than it is already. So im waiting for a call back to see if the doc can give me something else. Which leads me to the main topic of this post…what are some coping techniques u guys use to make the dizzinsss/vertigo easy to deal with? Especially when having to work 9- 10 hour shifts on your feet. I take bonine but it doesnt seem to be the greatest solution to my problem. Are there any exercises i could do to improve my balance? What are some medications that u have taken that have been effective? It seems that my body doesnt like nort anymore. Anywho, thanks in advance! Greatly appreciated
