vertigo is back

a_mastermom · Guru

Ugh Kelly. I am so sorry. That has got to be the worst feeling. I hope the exercises help.

sbucking · Guru

I'm so sorry! Ugh!!!

Sonya · Guru

Ugh!

Could it be a virus? Or maybe something like menieres disease?

That is just the worst feeling!

sappy · Guru

i'm sorry cry that has to be just the WORST. i hope it's better asap.

Juanita · Guru

I'm sorry Kelly. I hope you feel better soon

Dddiii · Guru

Ugh. I can't even imagine what that must feel like.

I hope it's just a fluke and you are feeling better by tomorrow!

Supafly · Guru

UGH Kelly. I know how awful vertigo is. It is absolutely debilitating. Probably there is stress, even if you aren't completely aware of it. I know my stress level is through the roof right now for sure, and it shows when I go to sleep-I have a worse time than ever getting to sleep at night!!

I just saw a thing on the Dr.Oz show recently about vertigo-I dug up the link and the vertigo question is the first in the segment.

http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/vertigo-grey-hairs-orgasm-numbness

Also, I read ginko biloba is a good supplement for vertigo, though IHNI how it might help.

So the Yaz isn't helping enough? That stinks, especially since Yaz has been linked to so many lawsuits and such. I am still having the PMDD and I really don't want to go to the OB/GYN because I know they will just try and prescribe this or another BC, and I am not interested. Anyway, I am trying to figure out how to combat that-the natural supplement I take helps, but not enough. If I find something that works, I will be SURE to tell you.

PLEASE keep me posted on natural supplements.
i think for me, exercise and time away from the kids might be key.
i want to go off yaz. i didnt realize the lawsuit stuff - just googled. f-ing yikes.
i think i am just going to finish out this cycle and then let mother nature take it's course.
off to watch that video now.

CoffeeQueen · Guru

ack, Kelly. That is awful. I hope it is a brief visit. It is so strange how our body can do stuff at the exact same time of the year. I have a issue that appears every Oct. and it is so weird and mind boggling.

Maybe keep a food and life journal and see if you can see what may bring it on. I have no knowledge of virtigo, but I hope you kind find relief.

I definitely will. I think I need to make an appt to see SOMEONE, but I really need a different fix besides BCP-there just HAS to be something else that can help! The supplement I am on now, Femtrol, does help like I said, but it just isn't enough. Or else it really hasn't kicked it-it says it can take 3-6 months to work, and I have been on it since September.

You are so right too, of course, exercise is so important. Just key for me-even a brisk walk is enough. And I am very fortunate to get time away from my kids every week-that is so necessary. But I tell ya, even with that, I find the rage just comes on like a lightening bolt and I feel so powerless to stop it. I try every technique I know, and still the rage just BOILS over. ONLY during the last two weeks of my cycle though-not the first two.

What about sleep? Are you getting enough??

sleep is a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge factor for me with my temper. huge.

i also think i need to remove myself from the situation more often. if i'm the kind of mom who goes outside and sits on the stoop in the pouring rain for 5 minutes, so be it, kwim?

i think i'll be ok going off the pill, bc frankly i'm not sure how much it's really helping anyway. i havent been as bad as i was in the summer (temper wise) but life is also just a lot less stressful now. not sure how much of that is objective/subjective.

also, i'm still a ball of anxiety - i'm not having the panic issues anymore, but i'm just as stressed about stuff i have no control over. so in that way, BCP isnt doing much. i really think i'll just go off.

OMG-I need to be the exact same way. I am bad about doing it, but today I had to send them to their rooms a couple of times and tell them to think about their behavior just so that I had some time to sit and breathe deeply. I definitely need the time to cool off.

I was just thinking today that I wish I could be that mom who laughs when things go wrong, or joins in when spills and messes happen. But that is just not me, so I need to accept it and be the best mom/person I can be. Which means less stress, more sleep, adding yoga, etc.

ITU the anxiety too-it is SO HARD. I don't have anxiety about everything, but we have talked about it before-I am so bad about worst scenarios. Soo many horrific things have taken place in my head that have just eaten away at my reality, kwim? I try and squelch those thoughts, but I can't seem to stop being that way, and it makes me so anxious.

If the Yaz isn't helping that much, i would definitely go off. You can always go back on if you later find that it was helping more than you thought.

Oh, on another note, dyk that I was just on Estraya's FB account and saw that she had another baby??? Dyk this??? IHNI she was even pregnant again!!!!!

I am so sorry Kelly. How miserable. I hope that something helps and you can figure out what is causing this. Are you planning to go back to the doctor?
