Thats wierd i just took no notice of it throughout pregnancy because you feel abit that way anyway plus it was my forth but its awful the worst bit for me is the queasy(sp) feeling plus i find if im a little more stressed than usual it hits me with a vengeance . Do you find you only get it sometimes then or is it with you all the time ?

Thankfully I don't have it all of the time, and like you have found it is far worse if I am stressed. I also thought it was just one of those pregnancy things when I first had it. My GP said it was because my blood pressure was low at the time so I just thought he was right. It started again during my second pregnancy and was a lot worse that time. It took many years to diagnose and it seemed like no GP ever took me seriously. Don't let the medics fob you off. I wish I'd been more assertive when I was first ill with this horrible condition. I have to say as the years have gone by I do not suffer from it any where near as much as I used to.

Apparently I have it, as my balance is off and when I went to the GP she gave me a tablet which was supposed to be excellent - it didn't work.

Hi Dippychick - what tablet did your GP prescribe?

I suffer from it (touch wood it hasn't been bad recently) but when it does hit then I can be floored for a couple of weeks.

Can't remember exactly what the doctor gave me, but I do know they were beta-histamines. Not good when the hey fever kicks in lol
