pinkyp I feel for you, I suffer from it too, it really is horrendous.

Has it only just started for you?

There is a huge thread where a few of us who suffer offer some support and suggestions, I'll go and find it and link it here.

Here is the thread pinkyp, hope it helps you.

Thank you! I've only had it slightly for a few weeks then yesterday It was bad and today is worse :( feel like I'm on a ferry all day with random bad dizzy spells. Will look at the link ASAP (I'm on phone now and won't let me click on it for some reason)

I have had it for about 11 months now and its awful. I have had every test under the sun!

Have you seen a GP? They are not great at diagnosing the cause but the first avenue should be blod tests and an ENT appointment.

How did it start? Was it a cold or ear problem or did it just come on suddenly?

Come on the other thread RichTea linked to - there's a few of us there.

It's awful. I often wonder how to manage when mine is bad - I'm a lone parent and it's very scary at times.
