good evening all.
I was a member on this site 10 years ago.
let me tell you how I was at that time and what I did to recover
it all started with collapsing in Tesco.
ambulance was called. Was given a check and found nothing. They advised that I go and get a check with my doctor.
However a few days later I went to turn the heating thermo off. As I lent sideways to the right to do this. My world went into a big spin the whole room was going at 100 mile an hour and I hung on to a wall.
but room wasn’t moving it was my introduction to vertigo. Inner ear infection. so from then I was frightened to walk. Frightened to leave my bed. I used to crawl on my knees to the bathroom and slowly get up to the loo. Terrified to move anywhere. This went on for 3months. My car by the way was still in Tesco car park.
I was then taken to see doctor and used wheelchair to go from there car to doctor room. Where he did a manoover on my head which help slightly.
And I was given tablets. To jump forward I ended up in hospital for scans. Nothing found. While in the hospital I used wheelchair again.
but one night laying in the bed. Felt like I was moving a bit. But I wasn’t when doctor came round I told him. He looked at me with strange in his face.
When I was let out and got home I found I cldnt stand for long.
the following anxiety symptoms followed
Feeling of moving
Off balance
Palpitations I was in A&E more than the staff was
muscle spasms
Crawling sensation over my body
Blurred vision
Feeling of not being present. Like in a bubble watching others
Not able to hold convo or listen
Not able to focus on TV
Could not read a line
Could not take or make a phone call as I was shaking internally which was anxiety symptom. my hands though were always steady
Could not take noise washer frightened me
Grandchildren visiting I stayed upstairs 😥
I had red stress marks all over me that frightened the life out of me
I had many anxiety/stress sensations daily
I Probally forgotten a few
I was not able to negotiate outside on my own for 18 months. I was told I had a breakdown. Lots had gone on in my life leading to this happening to me.
Losing my mum was one
Marriage breakdown another
Working full time shift work 6 days on 3days off. And looking after my dad. Cleaning his house and mine and shopping. My dad had bad arthritis we used to read a paper together watch tele and he would do tea for us when I popped in from finishing work
I did not see him for nearly 2 years.
I will shortly put on what I did to recovery from this I chose no medication but that’s no for all we are all different
