I have been ill for more than 10 months now and all started with a strange dizziness that started to appear and now I think that somebody put a spell on me. I have had dizzy spells for 5 years now and sometime twice per year but in any case the dizziness that I felt that time was different in comparison with what I experience now. In past there were some days when I felt very bad and then after some hours the bad feeling passed way it’s like getting up from laying down. Now I can’t say the same thing. This is quite different and the situation is getting from bad to worse and worse. I really hate this feeling because I can’t do anything from the beginning till the end. I’m a really active man and I love doing different kind of sports and I practice it quite often. Now I can’t do this anymore. It becomes difficult to resist. I exerted myself from the running machine and even from the Tennis Elbow that I loved very much and that I practiced for more than a year.
Even if I couldn’t run anymore I decided that I don’t have to quit and that I have to continue t do something (doesn’t matter what but some sports in order to be in shape). After a week of dizzy spell and continuous pain and discomfort I decided to walk for about 3 miles, but usually I’m walking much more than that. After I returned into my car it was very difficult to return into initial stage. Suddenly I started to feel very bad and I started to feel some intense headache. I felt very bad and it was difficult to drive. I started to think that it will be quite impossible to arrive home by my own.
Obviously I called my doctor and I explained him all the situation. After thousand exams and all of inutile stuff that he did he recommended me to do some exercises that (how he explained) will help me to get rid of the headaches and of the dizzy feeling. Honestly it did it all even worse than how it was. After just one time when I walked less than 2 miles I need an entire week to recover myself from the dizziness and painful headaches. I was unable to do anything, to walk, to do house work, to exercise, to drive and even to sleep normally. Sleeping was the most difficult part of the day. When I was in my bed I felt very tired but I couldn’t fall asleep because of insupportable headaches that did not passed away for nothing in this world. I didn’t had enough energy to drive and this was awful too because I need my car every day. I think it have no sense to explain what I feel during the work time.
I have suffered 6 months from this intense discomfort and during this time I have tried to do different things that I have did during the normal period of my life. I never was scared about the dizzy spell, because all the time it durations was no more than 5 hours during the day. I really hate the sensation when after the exercise day the next morning I can’t wake up from my bed and my legs don’t want to do the things that I want to. I have to lay on my bed for at least 3 hours till I’ll start to feel better. This wasn’t the worst thing that happened to me, after some months the problem with my legs was the most important one. About 2 months I suffered very hard, my legs just felt very heavy and it becomes very difficult for me to walk. I forgot about what I felt some months ago when I practiced sport and when running was my best friend.
After a long day, full of movement and hard working I experienced in the late night that some parts of my legs are swollen and the pain was terrible. In this case I usually used ice to eliminate the swollen part, and it helped me very much. I can’t say the same thing about the pain; usually it passed away the next morning. Some months ago I started to notice another particularity that usually did not happened to me. When I usually had to turn my neck in order to talk to somebody I felt a strange pain and my eyes suddenly started to feel very tired and the vision was blur. The scarf usually helps with the pain but during the hot season it’s quite impossible to use it. In winter I got used with the scarf even during the night. It was very comfortable because the next day I felt my neck okay. In the past weeks I noticed that sleeping during the day was the easiest thing that I could do, not the same during the night. I could fall asleep during the traffic and even in the doctor rooms when I have had to wait and there was nothing to read or to watch, falling asleep was the easiest thing. Of course I was very happy because I can’t sleep during the night but it was a problem to me, because I had to work. I was trying to fall asleep during the night and vice versa I was trying to stay awake during the day.
So, that’s my story, I know it’s a little bit long and sorry if I annoyed you but I really need somebody’s answer. I don’t know if I’m the only one with this type of thing but I really hope that there is somebody that can help and can answer to my questions. If somebody knows how to elevate the pain or how to get rid of it forever please help. I can’t trust doctors no more, because they do nothing to me, so the only hope is that you know something that can help, maybe somebody have suffered from the same thing and knows and option of how to get better. Thank you a lot.
