Has anyone else been diagnosed with this distressing MdDS I got it after a flight to San Francisco and then a Cruise to Alaska.

AS I am 77 I believe Imay have this for a long time has anyone got any ideas on helping with this syndrome This was in May 2018

Yup. Short cruises do it - any cruise longer than approx. 10 days does not lead to it, but shorter, yes (I read that it's pretty usual). I'm never seasick though (apparently, mal de débarquement strikes people who are not seasick). With me, it lasts for 2 to 4 weeks. I hate it, but it's not going to stop me from cruising - I'll just go on long cruises ! :')

I have never been seasick in my life but still got this MDDS and it won't go away and after reading about it it might not ever go away at my age 77.

No I have not been to a ENT specialist I will ask the Doctor about it although she has given me tablets for vertigo also had a manoeuvre which normally would help if it was my ears, did not work. This MDDS is supposed to be in the Brain .

I have MDDS from going on a cruise last May 2018 I have had it all this time. My Doctor has advised me not to go on another cruise or flight .

Looking back I think I had it in 2006 after a flight and boat trips in Europe but of course didn't know at the time.

This episode went after about 3 months. I went on this flight and cruise not realizing I had it previously and this time I am very seriously affected. So don't go on another cruise.

Please let me know of where I can get help for this if you have had some help Thanks
