Hello,
My MIL has been diagnosed with this recently and she's utterly miserable.
She can't move at all anymore, other than to go to the toilet but she can't do that independently and it takes a very long time to get there and back. It's only 10 or so feet away.
She says the room isn't spinning as such, but she just can't focus and see properly at all. She describes it as feeling very drunk. Blind drunk I suppose.
Anyway, I feel absolutely terrible for her. Her tablets aren't working and she seems to be gradually getting worse. She has had lots of bugs recently that she never 100% recovered from, but the GP couldn't see signs of an ear infection, but I thought that's where labyrinthitis started from.
She's now at the stage where she needs to be seen, but can't actually get anywhere and apparently they won't send a GP round because she isn't bed bound (I think she effectively is) or terminally ill.
She's very strong, but she's saying she can't cope. She's had everything under the sun, but I think this is the worst she's ever felt.
Does anyone have any advice? It's awful seeing her like this.
Thanks
