I have labyrinthitis - any advice please

Awaiting tests, feeling awful. My head aching and I am so tired. The pulsing bubbling tinnitus continues relentlessly.

Vertigo is gone though so at least I can walk ok.
 

You have my sympathy. Did they diagnose you with Meniere's disease? I hope you're better by now. The only thing that helped me was Ativan at first sign of dizziness/nausea. Take it about 1 hour before a car trip. I have become allergic or sensitive to Ativan & it is now making me feel worse. I don't know if it will help you but I sleep almost sitting up with 3 or 4 pillows. If I lay on either side it makes my vertigo worse. Now that my medication makes me sick I'll be housebound. I also keep a walking cane next to my bed. Good luck!
Thanks. That is useful information. I do sleep with 2 pillows but I will add another. It's difficult getting to sleep with the noise in my head but music on headphones helps. I get enough sleep but feel unwell most of the days.
 
At last I feel better. The headaches, weakness and dizziness gone.
However, the pulsing tinnitus continues and so further tests will be needed.
I think it is quieter so maybe it will stop soon.
I have never been so frightened, I really thought a stroke or something was imminent.
