This may sound dumb....but did you ever get your inner ear checked?
I get motion sickness very easily and it originates from your inner ear. When I went sky diving, I couldn't judge the horizon when I came down to land. When you sky dive watching the horizon when you land is how you land on your feet. Well, I face planted on the ground when I came out of the sky to land. It all comes from the inner ear is what I have been told by doctors. So, not saying that is what you are experiencing or that is your problem....but doesn't hurt to get it checked out.
Also, they think that is how JFK Jr. died. He couldn't tell the sky from the water and wasn't trained on reading whatever on the plane dashboard. It has a name but it slips me right now.

I live in a country setting now and everything is very flat, very wide open. I feel like I am upside down when I look up or even walking/driving/sitting on the porch looking forward. I perceive north and south literally as up and down. As in if I am heading north or south down a road I feel like I am not weighted down by gravity and I actually have a physiological reaction to it. The only thing that has worked for me is when I was a heavy drinker, I no longer drink, or when I was on Librium. I am not going to get back into drinking and asking a Dr. for a specific type of medication is a no no. I've tried everything but it's more than a thought process to me. I can rationalize that I am not in fact about to fall off the face of the Earth but my body reacts to it. I get sick, I have to keep my head down, I have to rush into a store or somewhere when I am out sometimes just to get a second wind to go back out to where I am going to. Anyone?
