  • @KeepBritainClean You're a moron. The NHS is one of the best healthcare systems in the world. If you don't agree with this then you haven't researched it or the rest of the world's healthcare systems properly.

  • I've had this for coming up to eleven months now. It has completely changed my life. I'm a shadow of my former self but I can see that I'm am getting very slowly better. I have an appointment with ENT in a couple of days to start a rehabilitation program. My advice to anyone reading this would be to accept the symptoms and learn to live with them the best you can.. The biggest challenge you will face is making people understand what you are going through. Balance is taken for granted. :)

  • NHS is the worst health care system, 80% of the doctors/nurses aren't trained, poor patient care.They don't show any empathy towards patients. I hope it gets better so that all hard working citizens in our country get decent health care.

  • I think i have uncompensated and it's gone acute again but i don't undertand why?!

  • I have the exact same condition. I've only had it for a week, the worst part was the first 3 or 4 days. I couldnt move for those 3 days, had to lay on my back with my eyes closed felling ill every minute. I felt like a was drowing for the first 4 hours. I lost 5kgs within a week. I still have a long way to go. I'll keep making vertigo videos, check out my channel, hope they help.

  • started with this 3wk ago.woke up and the room was spinning..scared the life outta me..walking around off balance.it went after about a week,and then started up again.not the vertigo,just the dizzyness and feeling off balance.im hoping it will go soon..such an horrible thing to have to live with

  • Can i fly with plane if i have Labyrinthitis?

  • Can i fly with plane if i have Labyrinthitis?

    Please can someone answer?

  • OMG I just found out I have this and it's so scary, i'v got to get to a doctor ASAP

  • Hi. I would really appreciate if anyone knows the doctors in London/nhs that specialise in this or Perilymph fistula/round window rupture/blow out. I damaged my ear 3 months ago and have a lot of these symptoms plus frequency tinnitus. Most doctors and even specialists are very poor in this area. If anyone reads this and knows an ENT specialist, esp in London, that can help, I would really appreciate a personal message from you. many thanks.
