After loads of blood tests, scans etc my doctor has finally diagnosed labrinthitis. They have been ruling out everything else before diagnosing this.
I started 7 weeks ago with a terrible cold that turned into a chest infection. That cleared up with anti biotics, but the feeling crap and dizziness just carried on. It is so awful that I can't do anything and am quite limited at the moment.
Has anyone else had this and can you share your symptoms with me. I have been told that there is no cure for it, it will just clear up in time. I have been given a nasal spray to help speed it up but other than that there is nothing else they can give me. I have been to the doctors a few times before they finally diagnosed me - apparently my ear drum is really dull and flat. I have felt so ill with it though that I am finding it hard to believe that it is labrinthitis but maybe i am under estimating how horrible it is? The dizziness is bloody awful!
If you have ever had it can you come and tell me the symptoms and how long it took to go away. Also if you have any tips on how to manage it I'd be very grateful.
