Hello All!
I am looking for some words or encouragement I guess. I have panic and anxiety with terrible dizzy spells. They have me taking meclazie (for the spins) which tends to help now and again. However, now I seem to have developed radom boughts of crying. Anything and everything makes them come on. I am seeing both a psychologist and psychiatrist, but because I have a terrible reaction to almost all medications, I cant really take anything. On top of that I have 4 children at home (all under 12) that need my care, so I cant take anything that makes me loopy. I just dont know what to do any more. I have had more testing done then any "normal" person should ever have to go through and they cant find a thing. I have an MRI set for this afternoon (totally freaked out about that!) as I have been having pretty bad neck pain. Can anyone please help?? I just need to know that I am not the only one out there with these issues and that it will be alright! |

I think that I can understand why you are struggling, I have five kids under 11 which is a job on it's own but when you add depression, anxiety and chronic pain(all which I also have) it takes on a life of it's own. Are you working on any relaxation techniques in therapy? Sometimes meditation or deep breathing exercise can help with anxiety. Try to take a little time for yourself each day to do something that helps you relax like reading or soaking in a bath, I understand it's hard to find that time but it is necessary for your own health that you get some time to yourself too. Things can get better, I know they have for me, you are taking the right steps just keep trying.

olemaja, I have the same exact symptoms you do. The dizzieness is the worst. Your neck pain is probably from tension. Too bad you can't take any meds. Mabye you could try meditation early in the morning when the kids are asleep or at school and then again at night while they're asleep. I know that the dizzieness is scary I've been going through it for 2 years and it still scares me.

2 years and they cant find a way to stop or control it? Really? My primary wants to send me to a sub-acute specialist to see what they can find. GREAT, more doctors!
How do you cope with it?

It definitely takes some patience and time for doctors to determine the root cause of chronic illness or pain. Especially when depression and anxiety are intertwined with the physical illness, it isn't very easy to figure out what caused what. That's when you see the specialist, sub-specialists, etc.

I never felt this dizzy problem until I did? I did try the splint but found this actually undermined my teeth so suffered more in the long term. I was told it was part and parcel of my TMJ and too get used to it! Needless to say, I never really did but I did stop feeling it was all my fault. Which did help some knowing that it wasn't all in my mind. It did help some but the problem hasn't altogether stopped many years later. I get the spins just getting up out of a chair. But then now days I also suffer from hypertension and the drugs for that can also give you the spins........ |

You know I never really thought it could be my teeth, but my mom has brought it up a couple of times now. I still have all my wisdome teeth and they need to come out, but I cant get myself to go in and get them pulled. I tried once and totally freaked out in the chair!
Time to go see the dentist....great!

I have crying attacks as well. They can be triggered off by just about anything. I totally get you !!
The dizzyness has caused me to get physically ill in the past, but not for about a month now.
