I mentioned before that the meclizine was really helping things. It would seem however, that for some reason, it’s no longer really helping very much at all.

I’ve frequently been waking up with very dizzy, falling sensations. It’s especially bad in the morning when I wake up — and it’s starting to drive me a little nuts.

It’s tough to deal with, especially when I thought I had somewhat of a solution with the meclizine. I’m still taking it, and it seems to keep things from getting overwhelmingly dizzy, but it’s not doing nearly what it was before.

The comment about these being referred to as “drop attacks” is right on the money. That’s exactly like what they feel like — one minute I’m sitting or standing comfortably doing something, the next I feel like I’m tumbling through space.

I still haven’t heard back from the VRT folks, so I guess I still have some hope there. It really starts to get me down when I feel like the dizziness is winning though — it’s exhausting to fight a constant battle against some unseen enemy, especially if when half the time you wonder if what you’re battling against is just in your head.

It often crosses my mind that there must be some way to cope better with this. I mean I think I’ve learned to cope in a certain sense (it doesn’t drive me as crazy as it used to), but the goal I suppose is always to get back to 100% — which sometimes seems like a distant memory.

I think I’ve also been under more stress than usual lately. There’s been some added (and unexpected) stresses at work, which always seem to make the dizziness worse.

I seem to be able to find an unlimited amount triggers for making the dizziness worse — I’d be very happy if I could find even one that makes it better.
