Mal De Disembarquement Syndrome

I'm writing this article as I fight a rare form of dizziness called Mal de Disembarquement Syndrome. I have been living this way for the past 15 years. There are many people out there who have a form of dizziness that has yet to be diagnosed. It took 15 years to find out what was wrong with me due to the fact that many doctors have not heard of this rare medical condition. If you are a person that lives with dizziness, and no one can tell you why, you may find this article very interesting.

Mal de Disembarquement Syndrome is a french word for land sickness. This medical condition leaves you feeling dizzy after a cruise, an airplane flight, a train ride or a long car ride. You never really feel like you have your land legs back after you get off the moving boat, plane, or train. It is an extremely rare condition, so you need to think back on when your dizziness actually started. If it was right after you were traveling, there is a chance you may have this mysterious condition. You may have a sensation of floating all the time, a feeling of pressure in your head, or a faint feeling. You will probably have trouble closing your eyes and staying balanced, have a hard time picking something up off the floor without feeling wobbly or you may have a hard time just sitting still without a swirling feeling. This condition keeps you from doing a number of activities that don't usually bother other people. You feel uncomfortable standing up in front of people for fear of falling over, you have a hard time standing in lines because you feel faint, or you may choose to always stay home because the room is turning on you. I am here to tell you there is hope for your dizziness.
