Head still going up and down...

Big boo. My head is going up and down, like I am still on the boat from the weekend. That is 5 full days of dizziness. Went to the doctor Monday: she did the easy neuro tests (look at the finger, watch it go this way and that). Blood tests. Blood pressure is normal, but on the low side of normal. Fine.

but nothing to explain the constant motion. or the fatigue. or the difficulty concentrating. Thank goodness for "Dr. Google".

Mal de debarquement (or Mal de débarquement) syndrome (MdDS, or disembarkment syndrome) is a rare condition usually occurring after a cruise, aircraft flight, or other sustained motion event. It has only recently received attention and very little real scientific research has been conducted.

Symptoms most frequently reported include a persistent sensation of motion usually described as rocking, swaying, or bobbing; difficulty maintaining balance; extreme fatigue; and difficulty concentrating ("brain fog"). Other common symptoms include dizziness, visual disturbances (such as seeing motion, inability to focus etc.), headaches and/or migraine headaches, confusion, and anxiety. Many patients also describe ear symptoms such as hyperacusis, tinnitus, "fullness", pain, or even decreased hearing. Cognitive impairment ("brain fog") includes an inability to recall words, short term memory loss, and an inability to multi-task.

The worst part:

In MdDS, the symptoms persist for more than a month, possibly for many years, and sometimes do not resolve at all.

fuck me. not a happy lass. Not one bit. Can't get to see my doctor for a while (he's on vacation: how dare he?) I am just scared of falling. My mother in law is in, and I want to go out for a few pops with the man, but if I am having problems walking now.... how can I trust myself after a couple of drinks to stay upright? How am I supposed to work if I'm not sharp.  And I have to put up with this for... months, weeks, years, forever??

Encouragement would be nice.
