Since my most recent flare (2ish months ago) I have a lasting symptom that I can barely describe but it is driving me nuts! I feel like I'm on a boat and have motion sickness (minus nausea) OR maybe a better description is that I just stepped off of a spinning carnival ride. I don't necessarily feel dizzy or lightheaded, just "off." It gets worse when I am in public or areas with a lot of stimulation, and it gets worse as the day goes on. When I am in public I feel like I have to hold on to someone or I will fall over. I feel like I am walking on stilts and will just tip over. This problem also seems to affect my vision to the point where I can't focus because I feel like things are spinning, especially when I am reading.
My neurologist prescribed 2mg of valium but it hasn't helped. My biggest concern is how I can function and work with this problem. I have an active job, but even sitting for long periods of time in a noisy environment makes everything worse.
Does anyone have any suggestions for solutions? Does anyone experience something similar? Thanks in advance for your responses.
