Foxyblue Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Hello everyone, New to me this year is a seasick feeling. I call it "seasick" because I don't know how else to describe it. Usually, it occurs at the end of a day when I have particularly abused my body: dancing at a wedding, walking around all day long at a zoo. Sometimes, it hits me the next day. I'll be walking and suddenly I lose balance, hit walls and feel as if I cannot walk straight. One time I tried to sit up in bed and I just could not do it. I swayed badly every time I started to. Also, the other day, while sitting, I rolled my eyes at something and I felt horrible. My head felt like it was swaying, my balance was off and the room looked like it shook. It only lasted a second. Anyone have any of this stuff?Thanks,Bri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I describe what I am feeling to people who ask, I also use the term "seasick".Jodie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgan617 Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 I feel seasick about 95% of the time. I have an inner disorder that affects my balance and ability to walk and stuff. I haven't driven in 2 years and just riding in a car is a nightmare some days.I think vertigo and dizziness really is one of the worst parts of this illness for me.....

Sunfish Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 i definitely feel "seasick" when a passenger in a car, especially when there is a lot of starting or stopping...i get it at other times too that don't follow any rhyme or reason. melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lalalisa Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 Yes! I do as well. Tonight I was walking next to my husband (outside) and I told him that I felt like I was walking on one of those "moving sidewalks" at airports, etc. Anyways, I think I know the feeling! Yuck!Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have any of this stuff?Thanks,BriI agree with you. I also suffer the same feeling and it is difficult to describe. I cannot dance, sing, talk loud... Going by train, plane, boat and even car can be a nightmare, because of feeling "seasick". And yes, sometimes it hits the next day... I remember an End of the Year family-party home. We danced till late. The following day, I was feeling seasick, with nauseas, headache and pain... I had to stay in bed for the whole day... But that was two years ago. Now it is even worse. It is so sad not being able to sing. Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadine Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 This has been the most disabling symptoms for me for the past year and a half. Every day I get up and pray for it to go away -just like it came. Not working, driving or able to do much of anything because of it. Try to get through it -but very difficult.

Foxyblue Posted November 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Thank you everyone for "confirming' this symptom. It always makes me feel better when I come on here and throw an obscure symptom out there and nobody rolls their eyes or dismisses me. You guys just comment if you have had it and it's like it's validated then. Thanks everyone!B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukkychrm42 Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Hi!Yeah I get the seasick feeling too. As far as feeling "clumsy," that is worse in the Am or after exerting myself physically. When i lay in bed at night, though, the world seems to be rocking back and forth. It's really annoying!!

persephone Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 I went swimming the other day and got it REALLY bad once I got out of the water; people were staring cos I was stumbling like I was drunk! I definitely also get it when I'm tired but it was awful at the pool! It was like my legs just stopped working! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanzanite Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Yep, though not quite as bad now. I also get this weird thing where if I've been in a car and then we stop I start feeling dizzy and for sometime after, also with things like lifts, I still feel as if I'm moving for ages afterwards.

becky Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 hi bri, i've hadthis for the past couple of months now and just had a diagnosis of labrynthitis, an inner ear inbalance. i'm on my fifth lot of medication for it. it does just feel like you are permanantly on a ferry, it's so horrible, at least i seem to have stopped falling everytime i bend over but i'm still stumbling round like a drunk, the headaches and sickness that ome with this are horrible. and my lips are still numb, when i move my eyes they flicker and cause palpitations. for me this is more disabling than my pots has been for a long time. bebs x x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
