Vertigo - anyone else suffer ???

Does anyone else suffer from Vertigo, ??? i had a very bad do on Wednesday, into Thursday, worst i've had before, really knocked me for six, but, today i am fine, as though it had never happened. Although i do have Mal Da Mare - not sure of the spelling, all the time, but without the sickness, just like walking on water, wierd feeling, but manageable - Anyone else have either ???

I have suffered from vertigo for a few years now not a constant thing but it can be debilitating when it happens.

My x sister in law suffers terribly with both,so bad that she had to give up work and driving. Not a pleasant experience I'll bet. Glad you're feeling better

hi frances & erontquay i have only had a few bouts of it, thankfully, but the Mal da Mare is 24 - 7, i have got used to that, some days better than others. but yes erontquay, i am glad its gone, at least for now. Would maybe have understood it more, if i had had a bad nights sleeps, but didn't even get up to the Loo as i normally do, so had a brilliant nights sleep, on Tuesday. my Mad da Mare is worse when i;ve had a poor nights sleep. Strange though

I have Menieres Disease, which is to do with the inner ear. I am currently in my 3rd. "visitation" of this. I have quite bad bouts of vertigo, virtually no balance and the most appalling tinnitus. I have some tablets which are supposed to help, but so far not much good. I have an appointment in a few weeks time to see if there is anything that can be done, I don't hold out much hope. Miserable old git aren't I?

maggie, i know a girl who has Menieres, and the way she suffers is so bad to, she is on pills etc so sad

Get the function of your heart checked , a lack of blood pumped to the brain can cause you to feel dizzy and fall over

i just had 4 week course of tablets for labrthynitus .[not sure of spelling ] not nice ...sounds like what you have had picccyme ..lot better now

ta for all your replies, i will take note of all you have said. Hopefully i won't get many of these Blips have a great Sunday

"Can't jump Skipper, vertigo. Grinds going rind and rind"

I had a lot of trouble with an inner ear infection last year went to see a specialist and he sent me to Liegh for test's I had to sit on the edge of a bed and in front of me was a length of wood (well it looked like wood) and I had to follow a marker that kept moving along and the wood slant to one side then the other, after I had to lie down and I had to wear some type of goggles that I couldn't see thru and I had to keep my eyes open wide,they put a tube or whatever in each ear at a time after about 20minutes everything finnished, A few weeks later I went to Liegh again and a young specialist nurse informed me don't take any pills and gave me a paper of what to do..... just move my head left to right up and down then stand up do the same after that turn round one way then the other it was a good job the sattee was near as when I had stopped turning I didn't know where I was everything was going round and round , I folloed the routine for about two/three weeks then thaught that's it back to the doctor back on the pills and don't feel as bad now thank goodness.

I have vertigo and was sent to the hospital,they did tests and gave me some exersizes to do and the do work when needed.it was in the audiology department.
I was in bed for 3 days once with it.it was awful.
They told me that the crystals we have in our ears get unbalanced and with these excersizes they get put back.
A bit like a pin ball machine.

I have had quite bad tinnitus for a number of years, sometimes can be very debilitating, last week I had a couple of unbalance incidents and mentioned it to my doctor. He said in my case it was probably the blood pressure medication I am on which can cause low blood pressure. It's the same effect as getting up suddenly from a chair and feeling light headed. I have had vertigo and feel sorry for anyone who suffers from it.

I've just got home and cracked open a can of Special Brew. I've got another two in the fridge.

Tomorrow, I imagine I'll suffer mild vertigo, at least until lunchtime, when it'll be suddenly cured by a potion (portion) of fish, chips and sloppy peas!

tonker........Don't you dare make fun about the very debilitating illness called Vertigo.
If you had ever experienced it you wouldn't make fun. It is one of the most debilitating experiences you can have.
I've suffered with it for years and even been hospitalised and even lost the hearing in one of my ears completely. So keep your silly opinions to yourself.....they are not appreciated by me or, I am sure, by the other people on this page who have experienced it.

I don't care whether YOU appreciate it, or not. I wish I'd only had vertigo to worry about, instead of the resultant problems from a broken neck and brain damage.
If I can laugh at my own misfortune, I'm sure going to laugh at yours, you dizzy bugger!

tonker.......you just don't care who you insult, do you, you ignorant., ignorant man !!!!!!
Read all the comments about this illness !!! Mine was caused by a stroke and all the resultant damage that that causes.....put that in your broken neck.....you've obviously recovered very well and suffered no misfortune !!
As for your brain damage, I can well understand that you suffered that......you show it every time you post on WiganWorld.
As for being a 'dizzy bugger' I'm probably old enough to be your mother and probably have more education than you have ever had.
Don't you insult me, you 'orrible little man.....you're just ignorant !!!!! Get lost !!!!!!!

ooooooh - eeeeee - oooooh!

Cherries - he's only messin. He likes pulling folks strings (from what I can gather) he's not bein nasty.

PS - I have had problems with my left ear since January, not Vertigo - but not nice all the same.

Aye, just because his airwear's burst.

Veg grower......he may be messin but there's no need for insults especially to people who aren't well. I've never been called a 'dizzy bugger' in my life and I'm not starting now.
He's just an ignorant know-all and I refuse to be insulted by such as him....he thinks he can get away with saying anything because he has the reputation for doing that but I regard being called a 'dizzy bugger' as an insult and may just complain about it. He's not funny even though he might think he is......he's just an ignorant man !!!! Vertigo, Menieres Disease, etc. are such debilitating illnesses that they shouldn't be made fun of. He should experience it before he makes jokes.....he wouldn't be laughing then !!!!!

One to cheer Cherries up ......

The Foreman finds Paddy sat on a pile of bricks, on site, with his head in his hands and Paddy tells him, "I feel all sick and dizzy, so I do. I think I'll go home, so I will".

The Foreman asks Paddy, "Do you think you've got Vertigo, Paddy?", to which Paddy replies, "No, I only live round the corner"!

cherries, don't you know the rules on here ? anything plonker says is ok, no matter who he upsets, cos he is the font of all knowledge, and most on here hangs on to his every word, and bow down to his "superior" knowledge.

I ended up in Casualty on saturday. I just collapsed & landed on the floor. The ambulance was called & because I had hit my head (on a picture of Wigan Pier, would you believe?) they took me there. I was there for hours, freezing cold, they decided I was fit enough to go home, which I did. My balance is worse than ever & where I was banged on my back & head, I have a lot of pain.I am still going to the theatre tonight, "The Ladykiller". Been looking forward to it for months.

maggie.......you have my greatest sympathy and I hope the vertigo passes quickly.
tony j..........I for one do not 'bow down' to the 'superior' knowledge of tonker.......he has no ' 'knowledge' as far as I'm concerned !!!! but I do realise that most people on here do bow down and think he's being funny. Well, I don't !!! Definitely not !!! He is an opinionated, ignorant man and as he suffers from brain damage, maybe that's the reason !!!! and it is NOT acceptable to call someone, especially a lady, a 'dizzy bugger'. How is that funny or 'ok' ?????
It's time some of the regulars on here put him firmly in his place and tell him precisely what he is instead of bowing down to him.
I don't follow his rules on here thank you very much !!!!!
Well I refuse to be called names by an ignoramus and shall take it further !!!!

Morning all, Maggie i hope today your feeling much better, so sorry to read your hospital report. Cherries, i hope you are also feeling better, it's not nice being called names, by anyone, i agree with you. I feel very saddened that my post on Vertigo has caused so much trouble and pain to folk, and i have read all the comments on the various type of illnesses, and hope you are all feeling much better today. Please !!!! have a lovely Monday all

The Yick's Neck Breaking Song...

See you on the Dark Side Of The Moon...

I do think Tonker just likes to wind people up and I bet if you met him in person he would be completely different, nice even - but unfortunately he can come across as a bit of a bully and does resort to name calling if anyone should have a different opinion

Hello piccyme.....Please don't apologise for causing any trouble at all. It's my fault for standing up to that ignoramus, plonker !!! but, having suffered vertigo,tinnitus, etc. for a lot of years I couldn't help but put my comments when he was making a joke about it and especially when he was calling me names. There was no need for that and if he had ever experienced vertigo, then he would know that it's one of the most debilitating illnesses you can have.
I do hope you're feeling better and everyone else as well who suffers from this.
I have complained to the 'powers that be' but whether anything will be done I doubt it.
I very rarely post on here and think this will be my last. I just can't stand to read the nonsense that such as plonker writes. Better to stay away. xx

Hello Cherries

If people stay away then the bullies etc win and why should you not post if you so wish - If you put someone on ignore then you will no longer see any post they make.

(Edited - from you and changed to people)

cherries, i think you've misread my post, i'm on your side, i was having a dig at plonker .

Hi tony J
No I didn't mis-read your post......I realised you were being sarcastic and thanks for being on my side. Not many more are !!!!
Just that I really saw red with that man......not the first time I've had a run-in with him and I don't see why he should be allowed to be so obnoxious. Everybody thinks he's joking but I'm not so sure. He's just a know-all but thanks for the support. x
Frances......I don't think I'd like to meet this man. He is a bully but name calling is neither funny nor acceptable. Maybe I'll be back, maybe not !!!!!

I am a bully. There's no two ways about it. My mother died when I was born, and ever since then I've tried to fill that void with violence.

I don't have any real friends, more like people that hang around me because they think it'll gain them some kind of street cred. I let them do it because it feels good to have a kind of gang. We all even got the same tattoo after one crazy night out.

When I was younger I was sent to a boarding school and I actually impressed a lot of the teachers, but I always bullied the other kids to show them I was cool as well as brainy. When I left school I worked as a bit of a dealer, going to people's houses and selling and buying their stuff. Stuff that, to be honest, was against the law - but it made me feel big.

Soon, I began balding, and this made me look even more hard. So I started murdering people, and doing cocaine, so much in fact, I eroded nearly all of my nose. This was when I got into the criminal scene so deep that I had to change my name to avoid capture. I'd done some pretty screwed up stuff.

But I still can't kill that Potter kid.

I've got the DVD if that's any help.

Thank you all for your kind words. I have no vertigo at present, but my balance is very bad. We did go to the theatre last night, if you have the chance to see it - on tour, go, it was great "The Ladykillers" it had the same feel as the film, but with other fun bits added. The theatre was packed & a very enthusiastic audience. I felt much better afterwards.

hi to all sufferers, hope today is better for you, i was going to let this topic die, so no more arguing, but, cherries, i have to agree with frances, staying away when you don't really want to is not the way to go, you have every right to voice your dislike about something. Ok, i think best now to let my topic Die, but, 1st Ta to all who have given me great feedback & comments, i do appreciate it

We can but try, Piccy.

Hi piccyme
Thanks for your comments and ever so glad maggie was feeling better and enjoyed the theatre last night.
There would have been no arguing but for the plonker making jokes about this subject cos I'm the last one to argue with anyone but I just couldn't take what he was saying and especially calling me names....completely uncalled for !!!
As far as I'm concerned the subject was closed after my last message and whether or not I'll post again remains to be seen.
Originally I hadn't posted that I had the same condition and wasn't going to but HE caused it....as usual. As I said this is not a condition to be joked about and only wish he could experience it.
I do have to say that everyone......or most people on here....do seem to bow down to him but it isn't in my nature to bow down to a bully which he is.
Thanks for your support. xx

cherries don't let him get into your mind and like I've said before he is just a S******SE that likes putting people down. keep smiling

Thanks veteran
Don't worry I don't let him bother me.....only when he is a s****se and he doesn't put me down, honestly !!!
I always try to smile !!!

instead of bowing down to him

youll find that more people agree with you, than bow down to him or think hes funny

I have complained to the 'powers that be' but whether anything will be done I doubt it

well they did say if anyone makes a complaint they will remove the post

there are a few more like wonker and has you can see theres a couple of irelevant posts, something else people on here have to get used to

HI Cherries, I'm with you and so are a lot more members who I know personally. Like me they all have the plonker and several others who post stupid sarcastic comments on ignore.

Thanks walshy and honk.....he's just a silly old b***** !!

Ok tonker......we'll call a truce, shall we seeing that you're admitting you're a clown but in future don't joke about serious subjects......that's a good boy !!!!!

I'm not calling any truce, as to 'call a truce' would mean that there had been a confrontation between me and another.
That just isn't the case.
I'll just carry on as I've always been and, if you don't like it, lump it. You're the one making a fuss over nowt!

And, further to that last comment of mine, there's something about you that makes me think of another member who could fall out with her own shadow. MollieM!

PS: the clown HONKing the horn is aimed at another member on here who recently passed wi.., er, comment!

Well hello tonker.......you're bored as well I can see !!!!
I'm not starting all the 'confrontation' again and there was one in my book.
I'm sure you know the old saying.......'empty vessels make the most noise' and we'll leave it at that shall we ??????

PS I am NOT MollieM !!!! I am ME !!!!!!

Goodbye tonker !!!!! Maybe we'll meet again !!!!

I'm on here often!

Maybe we'll meet again !!!

Be careful with Mr. Tonker folks, he once told a lady vicar, and I quote "She wants to get a proper job, like broccoli grouting. Probably."

Now what kind of a chap says that to a Holy Roller, eh?

Hi joseph
Somebody further back said that he's probably a nice man if we were to meet him but I can't see that, can you ????

Oh I wouldn't trust him at all.

I think you are thriving on Tonker's attentions Cherries.

It could be love.

We'll wait for the next time he offends anybody, shall we and I just might...only might !!!.......have another 'go' !!!!
That would be fun !!!
Bed for me now joseph so nite, nite to everyone, sleep tight.....sweet dreams (of tonker !!) I don't think.

Be careful, Cherries, he's a wicked man.

Do you think so, bennielechat ??? You might be right !!!
Wait and see what he says ....... that should be fun !!!

You can call me Bennie.

Thank you Bennie.......logged off last night and didn't see your message till this morning.
HE obviously hasn't seen our comments yet.....that'll be fun !!!!

Be careful with Mr. Tonker folks

he was also part of the "gang" that ruined the thread welcoming an hero home, and, came out with something on a thread about the funeral of the 2 police women that got killed

My "Be careful with Mr. Tonker folks" posts about Tonker are tongue in cheek, and nothing to do with the above statement (of which I know nothing) from Walshy .

Neither does he.

Sod that, stick t'boot in while Tonker's down.

Air wear! I'll give him a leather injection.

Flat feet eh!

You can give him a sly dig in the ribs.

16:58

My 16:45 and 16:47 were typed in jest.

I meant my 16:51.

16:47 was Macs.

Can anybody tell me what everybody's talking about.....I'm lost !!!!!!

It's that Walshy again, Cherries. Seems he's put the cat amongst the pigeons yet again.

Just stating a fact and I'm sure the usual lot, above, where on the same thread

Don't worry cherries a lot of the threads go this way when "some people"get on them

Hope that makes it clear to you, Cherries.

Thank you Mac.......it's about as clear as mud !!!! but wouldn't like to be in walshy's shoes when the great tonker reads that !!!!
He might be in a good mood......if he ever is !!!

Tonker has a good sense of humour, you will discover it soon. the other named doesn't have sense.

but wouldn't like to be in walshy's shoes when the great tonker reads that !!!!

i dont think i 'll have any sleepless nights......because im only stating a fact

on the other issue, Can anybody tell me what everybody's talking about.....I'm lost i meant when mac, the hypocrite, liar and bully, when he doesnt get his own way, and his cronies who follow him around like sheep, get on a thread it normally gets ruined, because as hes said before "i do ruin threads"

Now, now, boys.......don't argue !!! It's bad enough having tonker making snide remarks without you two arguing.
Let's all be friends and not fall out.....it's just not worth it.
Shake hands on it !!!!

Sooner shake necks....scrawny ones.

not falling out cherrie...........just telling the truth

as you can see from the above comment

I think that really you two are the best of friends and are just pulling my leg !!!
Now behave the two of you else I'll have to do some smacking of hands !!!

HAHAHA, best of friends

im friends with know one who has to resort to nasty, personal, comments or who brings peoples family into it, or will sink to any level, to keep an image up

Oh walshy......it's just not worth not being friends with everybody.
I appreciate your opinions but don't make them public....everyone will think you're as bad as tonker and you don't want that, do you ???
Just keep smiling and ignore any nasty comments.....that's the best way

I'd rather have a pedant on my back than a stalker.

Typing of the former, here's a little tip for you, Cherries, from Tonker's own fair hand.

Starting at the industrial estate on Woodhouse Lane near Standish (lower ground) and going anticlockwise, the boundary of Wigan goes -

Down the River Douglas until where Poolstock Brook joins the river near the end of Baker Street. It then follows that brook until Poolstock Bridge (near Scotsman's Flash) and turns left, running alongside the canal to Warrington Road, Ince, when it joins Carrington Brook. It follows the brook near the canal almost to Rose Bridge, then goes off towards Whelley and joins another brook which runs under the road near the Alexandra pub and joins the River Douglas again behind that area they call Bottling Wood.
Then it goes up the River Douglas until about a quarter of a mile from Boars Head pub, where Wigan Lane stops. It then goes west, behind the cemetary and joins a brook running behind Acacia Crescent, on Beech Hill estate, which it follows down to the River Douglas near Standish lower ground where we started.

Which is, more or less, clearly shown on this map of Wigan Parish. All the surrounding places (Pemberton, Ince, Aspull, Haigh, Standish and Shevington) are also shown.

Wigan covers about 2300 acres / three and a half square miles.

You're only in Wigan when you're not somewhere else!


You have been warned.

It's an envy thing of his.

I almost choked with laughter.

Just preventing a bit more bother in the future.

Now stick to topic. Or there'll be more thread ruining posts from some people about people posting thread ruining posts.

Me to, really funny

him to what?....go to Belchertown on a reunion?

I'm afraid of widths
Is there a name for this disorder.

HAHAHA!

(Coprophobia)

What a waste

Oh walshy......it's just not worth not being friends with everybody.

Its worth it to me, why would I want to be friends with an hypocrite, liar, and someone who comes out with nasty and personal comments about people when he doesn't get his own way, which is most of the time

So, your thoughts on vertigo, walshy? Do you think buses should be free?

No, neither have I

But you have lied about loads of other things, it's just a pity you've never been man enough to admit It

I will admit anything you want...to your face. Shame you aren't 'man enough'.

Here we go again, can give but can't take it,

I'm just glad I'm not that sad

so not 'man enough'; then....I AM surprised.
Your (pretend) illness is on handbags - bicker2 for all to see.

Struggling now are we, you must be if thats the best you can do

Why would i want to meet you, if i did that i would be lowering myself down to your level

We'll leave it at that now, I rest my case.

Why is it heavy

You do that, because your not going to get any further, i told you that in the threatening email you sent to me, remember, the ones you deny sending

"i told you that in the threatening email you sent to me"

Dont worry about it borg

Once again a thread that as asked a good question got intercepted with other things same old same with some people on Wigan World.

well said veteran

Again, the failure to saee the glaringly obvious evades.

Thats all these people do veteran, one was actually man enough, which makes a change, to admit he ruins threads

Remember fellas that the subject of this thread is Vertigo but it seems to have got lost in the bickering that's going on.
Piccyme asked quite a simple question as to whether anybody else suffers from it and it's ended up in a dogfight !!!
What are you thinking about at all ????
If you did suffer from vertigo you wouldn't argue like you are doing.
Be good lads and behave yourselves....there's nothing to argue about really.

Remember fellas that the subject of this thread is Vertigo but it seems to have got lost in the bickering that's going on.

welcome to WW

I suppose it's enjoyment to some of you.....picking and piking at each other !!!
Carry on bickering if you want but don't forget the original subject which is serious.
I hope that piccyme is feeling better now.

Cherries, you must have realised by now that most threads end up like this
You just have to accept it

Very true that

When one goes on a thread the rest follow

When one doesn't post, the others don't

Yep I've realised it, dosco and walshy.......still think they enjoy arguing amongst themselves and lose track of what the thread is really about but if they're happy, then why not !!!
It's all good fun !!!

well i am back !!!! have just had a lovely 5 day break to Weymouth, Sunshine everyday, but, i can see not much has changed on W.W. still silly boys playing, with their claws out, like cats. ta to cherries & veteran for trying to remind folk that i did ask a simple but serious question, and some have replied seriously, but, others, well so childish, go play with your toy soldiers, and leave the important stuff to the grown ups.
LETS CLOSE THIS TOPIC / THREAD NOW, PLEASE !!!

well shall we get back to the original posting ...vertigo, i have paroxymal positional vertigo, which can last for days the worst being feeling unsteady even when i move my eyes and as im typing this and looking up to the screen the sensation of dizziness comes on although i dont actually see the room move, i cant look upwards anytime as verigo sends me flying, i have been shown `excersises ` to do to enable the crystals in my ears to get back in place but they dont always work, im so fed up of this i was wondering if anyone else had this and a member put me on to this link although im guessing the condition will be made fun of, but if it is please just thank God you dont suffer from this,

Try These!

Just woke up and thought I would see what was going on........well good on ya cherries welcome to nutsville.....6.09 am Aussie time....
I have had vertigo twice in my life and it was twice too much.....horrible sensation......piccyme it is not nice thing to have, well done for your possitive outlook.......

People pay good money to suffer four days of vertigo!

Tonker you RASCAL.......

There's always the Short, Sharp Shock Treatment!

About one month ago I had my first attack and have felt scared and depressed daily.I live on a Greek island and knew I would have to pay aloe of money to even have a hope of relief and so I resorted to Google and Yahoo and found out about the Epley Manouvre on Youtube.This isn't for all cases but it has helped me alot and I can feel an improvement.I really do think that sufferers should try it,nothing ventured nothing gained etc etc. I must also add here that I am a Wigan woman who follows this site religiously and am appalled that certain idiots find it entertaining to joke about others health issues. Good luck to any that give this a try
