Hello,

First off, I'm no doctor, but to me it sounds like it may be an inner ear infection and your doctors are failing to see even that. I would suggest calling up and see if one will call in some antibiotics for you and see if that helps. I know all to well the pains of vertigo. I wish you the best of luck.

I too know how you feel, I was tested for things that couldn't even possibly be related to my vertigo and every test I had came back negative for problems. I reached a point where I became so agitated at the test I even stopped going to the doctor for a while. I was beginning to feel that no one believed me. I too have not been able to drive or work for a year and half now because my attacks are so severe that sometimes I can be walking and suddenly it feels like the floor falls from under me and I am falling through the air. Needless to say I have fallen on my face on more than one occasion. So I know exactly how you feel. Before I go I will leave you with my most famous diagnosis explanation for my vertigo from an E.N.T. doctor, and I quote " you are to tall, gravity is against you. When you stand up and walk all of your blood goes to your legs and feet and there is not enough to your brain" . I don't know for sure but I am still calling for Bull Crap on that diagnosis. Never had vertigo before I had a stroke. Well I wish you the best and thanks for listening.
