"Have you ever tried to describe your symptoms to a neurologist?"
No, the only health professionals I've discussed it with have been my psychologist and family doctor. The psychologist assumes it's part of the CFS and the family doctor said it was depression, (could have been because I was in tears when I was talking about it?) and he prescribed effexor which has helped. Hence my reasoning that it is a mental health problem.
The first time I had this problem it came when I was on trazadone. Now two years later it came when I wasn't on any ADs. This is why I was so distressed by it.
To me it seemed very similar to when my father would have his schizophrenia aggravated, the only difference being that he was unable to sleep when this happened. Perhaps it could be the anxiety that it creates? It's a scary feeling, losing your mind literally.
I was wondering if anyone can relate. You're unable to comprehend any stimulus it sends your head spinning, but if you stay completely still and try not to think your head doesn't race. ???
