Karen Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Donna, I spoke to you earlier in the chat room .... spinny has been "normal" for me ... it does feel extremely abnormal though and it takes the brain quite a while not to get spooked by it ..... the brain does learn ..... but, you will have to give it time. If you're not happy, then go back to your GP .... I had a balance assesment carried out .... was referred by the GP to my local hospital... they did all kinds of tests and nothing showed up .... it was put down to my eyesight probs .... However, it has got better and better ..... it's been a slow job and there's been nothing that I've been able do about it, apart from get some physio for my eyes, that took me out of my comfort zone .... no pain, no gain.... There's been no quick fix for me .... if there had been, then I would have passed it on to all of you guys ..... you just have to keep living each day and hope .... I never, ever thought that I would get to the stage that I am now .... I still have a lot of problems, but know that recovery is still taking place ... I was told that maximum recovery would take place by 6 months .... I know now, that for me personally, it's not true....recovery has been slow, but even ..... I can only relay my own experience .... but the anxiety has decreased greatly and I think that the spinny feelings are a mix of the physical and mental emotions.....hope this helps. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Hi Donna I am the same....10 months down the line i still have the spinny feeling most of the time...it is something i am just getting used to......dont know if it is my eyes or Brain still mending. I agree with Karen though everyone is different and recovery can be slow....just keep living everyday and hope. Take care love Tinaxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janet Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Hi Donna Like Jess I still get that feeling now and again mainly if I'm overtired or if I'm unwell. It does improve just takes time. Janet x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jess Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 My NS gave me a great bit of advice thought it was stupid at the time however it did work. Forget about it and it will go away the more you panic the more you will feel it. Jess.xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
