Lost in the Supermarket - Vestibular Migraine - Coping in a Shop (Live 2)

[@SusanFlint-jk6rv]

It is so refreshing to hear you talk about this Vestibular Migraine. You have really helped me understand that you aren't alone in this world with this condition where it is not known.

“Probably using the term ‘expose yourself’ was not the right term to use in a shop but you know what I mean”…I was literally laughing out loud when you said this 🤣. Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks, glad you managed well in the store!

[@thebluntyorkshireman5161]

Hello, I started having sensitivity to lights, sound and extreme motion sickness and vertigo, ringing in ears, ear fullness feeling and also my glands in my neck by my ears would get a tight feeling. Almost like when you eat something sour but not eating anything sour. When in cars, looking up and down etc. I went to ENT he cleaned out earwax and said my ears look great! But gave antibiotics due to sinus pressure and pain. So I took a half of a 12.5 mg meclizine (over the counter medication for vertigo) and 45 minutes later EVERYTHING STOPPED! I felt completely NORMAL again. Not even sensitive to light. I am on my 2nd day of Augmentin but before I even took my first antibiotic I took meclizine and it took all that horrible vertigo, headache, light sensitivity away. My mom had been telling me to just take a half of a meclizine for months. I was always telling her... No that wont help. OMG IT DOES! It takes 45 mins to a hour to start working but it does and lasts the entire day. I did have a CT scan of my sinuses and ear and inner ear. They just found that my (eustachian tube) in my inner ears are clogged. Look up symptoms of that and ask for ct scan of yours! And take meclizine. IT WORKS! I know how horrible and crippling this migraine vertigo is and wouldnt wish this on ANYONE. But after discovering whats helping me. I want to help anyone I can. God Bless and please just try it and ask for those tubes in your ears to be looked at. (eustachian tube) The meclizine will work.

[@thebluntyorkshireman5161]

Ah no worries, Dawn. Why thank you, flattery gets you everywhere....

[@thebluntyorkshireman5161]

Wow - that is great to know. I've not heard of that med but it sounds very promising!@@russellmania4542

Cheers for another great vid mate shops always mess my head up.

[@thebluntyorkshireman5161]

No worries!

I can go to the food store early in the morning when it's not busy I also feel best right after waking up, however generally I feel worse as the day goes on and by noon when the food store is packed it can be almost impossible to walk through the busy grocery store. The white tiles and bright lights are like an overload

[@thebluntyorkshireman5161]

Hmm - I think I had something similar tbh. I think it is because your brain has been given a rest at night but the longer the day goes on, the more overstimulated it has got (and it is getting overstimulated because of the condition).

I've replied to your other message. That drug sounds very promising!

[@MinkasTNR]

Does it work??? I have been having your symptoms. Exactly. But pain... a lot of pain. Swollen glands behind my ears.

[@MinkasTNR]

And they all say "ears look fine!" Most annoying thing in the world.

[@thebluntyorkshireman5161]

[@Istaccz]

I get so ugh in any store especially big stores I wear my air pods and turn on music but very low I just thought this was from my anxiety but I’m learning something new

[@thebluntyorkshireman5161]

A good tactic!

[@McCafferyProdz]

You mentioned having an issue with breathing and you have an inhaler. Have you been diagnosed with Asthma? I have VM and I notice I struggle more with breathing issues when I'm out driving or in stores. I wonder if there is a connection? So far, you're the first person who has mentioned this.

[@dianapauly2788]

I have a doubt whether we get this migraine everyday?.. I am having all the symtoms of vestibular migraine from past 6 months almost all days. My MRI and CT are all normal.

[@thebluntyorkshireman5161]

I had symptoms every day for months. I dont know if that is because the migrane kept firing, it was strong enough to last, or if it was prolonged by, for example the anxiety. Is it is even a migraine at all - who knows for sure!

[@tracy9397]

I just discovered your channel. I’ve had vestibular migraine for the last 3 years and have had a bad flare up for 4 days now. These are great tips! May I ask if and what medication you are on?

[@thebluntyorkshireman5161]

Hi Tracy. Glad they are of use! I’m in propanalol and sertraline x

[@lianata9555]

@thebluntyorkshireman5161 hi, so you're not on Amitriptyline any more. Why?

[@thebluntyorkshireman5161]

@@lianata9555 I was only on it very briefly during my first episode. I got better and stopped taking it. When it reoccurred I went on sertraline as other family members were on it.

[@lianata9555]

@thebluntyorkshireman5161 is sertraline better than amitriptyline?

[@thebluntyorkshireman5161]

@@lianata9555 is chocolate better than sex?! Not possible to answer. It depends on lots of things I guess

Matt will you be live any time soon?

[@thebluntyorkshireman5161]

Hi. Hmm I've never done a live. Would anybody even dial into it?

[@MinkasTNR]

Oh great idea.

[@parkourmaster4526]

Hey, nice video. Just out of curiosity, I’ve seen you mention that you struggled with Anxiety and Brain Fog during your time with Vestibular Migraine. Those have both been two big symptoms for me during have Vestibular Neuritis. Just out of curiosity, what has helped you overcome that? Also, how long did it take you to completely recover from the first time you got Vestibular Migraine? I’ve had Vestibular Neuritis for about 6 and a half months now and I’ve only got about 30-40% better.

[@thebluntyorkshireman5161]

Hi. Thanks! The real turning point for the anxiety was the right med - sertraline. After four weeks of taking that, plus the increase in dose pretty much ended the anxiety. The brain fog faded away over time. It took me about four months to be pretty much recovered with some lingering things like tiredness :)

[@ChipSkylark319]

I haven’t went to the grocery store in a long time bc of this and my gf is starting to hate me. Also the noise messes with me so much I start to freak out and run out the store lol

[@thebluntyorkshireman5161]

Hate you for not doing the groceries?
