About

Hi I’m CandiceMe in 2014. In February 2015 I became very sick with severe vertigo, tinnitus and hearing loss. At first we all thought it was Labyrinthitus – an infection of the inner ear, but over the weeks and months to follow I lost more of my hearing and my balance and vision didn’t improve.

As a result, I’m now severe/profoundly deaf in both ears and my balance (vestibular) system has been obliterated. I have tinnitus permanently, and oscillopsia (loss of image stabilisation). The UK medical establishment don’t know what causes this to happen so have labelled is as an autoimmune condition but I now know differently…this condition is caused by the Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) in the labyrinth of the ear.

I am fully dedicated to healing myself as naturally as possible and adapting to the changes this illness has created in my life. I write this blog to share my journey in the hope that it will be a support to anyone else who is also suffering with similar conditions of the inner ear or trying to detoxify themselves from the havoc caused by EBV.

I believe in the body’s innate healing abilities and fully embrace natural approaches to healthcare using naturopathic techniques, diet, herbs and supplements. I’ve had training in Naturopathic Nutrition and other therapies but any information provided on this blog is just me sharing my chosen approach and is not intended as a substitute for proper medical advice.

Please write to me privately or comment on my posts if you have any questions, need advice, would like me to write about certain aspects or also if you can offer advice to help me recover. I love hearing from you, to know that this blog is useful to someone, and also that I’m not alone in my difficulties with these symptoms. I hold a silent prayer in my heart for anyone else who is suffering with this. I wish you a swift recovery, with your healing and balance fully healed! Please write to me and let me know when that you got better, to inspire me and motivate me onwards in my healing journey x

    Hi Candice

    I had vestibular neuritis at Christmas (basically labyrinthitis without hearing loss although I do get a bit of high pitched tinnitus).

    Despite taking no meds initially like you, I have not fully compensated and still feel dizzy / woozy most days although my balance isn’t too bad thankfully. I’ve been doing VRT now for just over 2 weeks and I’m really hoping this is making a difference! Realistically though I have to be mentally prepared for a long journey!

    Anyway, I just wanted to say that I totally understand what you’re going through – this is a horrible condition and it’s so hard to remain positive.

    As I live fairly close to Watford (you mention going to Watford General) if you’d like to get in touch please do so. If you’re like me, support and understanding is what keeps me going as I progress on this unwelcome journey!

    Take care!

      Hi Jacqui, Thankyou for being in touch. You live very close to me and it would be great to speak or meet and support each other though this. That would be great! My vrt starts next week and I’m also hopeful this will help. Please drop me a private email so we can talk privately. Much love, Candice

    I have come out the other side of my experience. I remember, after the acute phase, wishing for just one normal day again to truly appreciate being able to walk on level ground. I am grateful that I have mostly normal days now 1.5 yrs later. I’m not sure why or how it happened or why or how I got better. I am wishing you some normal days ahead, too–because it it entirely abnormal to feel as we do when this happens. Don’t give up until you feel better. Listen to and believe your instincts. Be strong and focused because no matter, with or without a partner, the work is on us. In that we are all the same.

    Hi Candice.
    You mentioned that you where trying to heal yourself, but with such a profound hearing loss I don’t understand why you are not trying earing aids or are these not suitable for your condition?, I would agree with you that sharing your experiences on line will hopefully help in your recovery. I wish you all the best .

    Hi Candice, thank you for the essential oil recommendation- I tried it yesterday and found it very soothing. I just wanted to mention that I discovered another blogger today and think you may be interested. She’s known as Diane, and her blog is called Sweet Catastrophe. She actually has a diagnosis of Menieres, but it too makes for some inspirational reading.

    Hi Candice,

    Oscillopsia is horrible but you can live with it. Don’t let it rule your life. Go to the gym, walk, make your leg muscles strong. Eventually your muscles and eyes will take over. You will always have down days but it does improve. I can do anything except ride a horse or ski these days. I’ve even ridden a bike – in the dark!

    Anyway – my doctor told me use it or lose it – and I’ve taken his advice. I carry a Leki stick in my car in case I get caught out in the dark or on uneven ground.

    So – my only advice is don’t let it rule you.

    I’m in New Zealand, but will be over in Netherlands next year – and I’d love to meet you so keep emailing me 😉

    Cheers

      Hey Robyn, Thanks for your message. I so hope it does get better. It gives me, and everyone else I’m sure, a lot of hope to hear that others have gone on to live rich and active lives.. (though there is always a part of me that thinks this only happens for those who have some vestibular function left). Oh wow you rode a bike! what an achievement! and urgh I cant imagine riding a horse – sitting in a car and going over tiny little bumps is enough motion for me! 🙂 yes do keep in touch Robyn thanks for posting here!

    I was shown your blog by someone on veda fb page which i just joined. Really thought i was alone. Also there is not much help here where i live. Just wanted to say i suffer from bilateral hypofunction of labarinth and oscillopsia also
    Its horrible isnt?? I have good and bad days. Was diagnosed2 yrs ago but given no advice and no cure just told to carry on. Recently i thought no i cant live like this forever with this intensity do changed docs and hopefully being refered to balance centre in medway where i hope yo get 2nd opinion and help with this. Hope u are well. Does any change in your diet help? Can you lessen affect of the ocillopsia and have u still been able to drive. Love to hear from you.

      It’s really horrible, my sympathise go out to you that you have to experience this to. I’m not finding any improvement with anything but we have to keep searching and trying. Lets just pray that they find some solutions soon. I hope you get the support you need. You need to be doing VRT – please look for the information on my blog. Go private if the health system don’t refer you. It does help the brain adapt to the balance. I can walk now and turn my head to the side without falling over. I haven’t been able to lessen the oscillopsia yet. If I could drive, my life would be very much improved. Feel free to email if you want x

    Hey again.
    Yeh im the same with driving i have had lessons and took test but failed. It took a lot of concentration and was so tired after due to the bobbing up and down but i could drive. The thing thats bad is after a long day i become so tired and this makes oscillopsia worse so drving would be a bit of a risk as feel drunk. Hopefully one day a cure or something to stabalise it wud be amazing. I want to get back in a car but im sure the oscillopsia has got worse . I try and force myself to look ahead when walking rather than looking to ground to try and train my brain to see things steady but it hurts my eyes and the bouncing gets bad. But looking to the ground and ocassionaly up helps me to walk straight and stops more of the bouncing. I try and joke about it as much as i can. But when having a bad day get a bit low. I just feel pressure in my whole head. Im not gonna let it rule me too much though. It does limit certain things like i find going out at night very hard and wud avoid it as i feel woozy. But il keep trying. Hope your ok.
    Hugs. Xxx

      Hi Ivona, I’ve not been able to do the 28 day cleanse yet…it feels too difficult right now to eat only raw fruit and veg so I am instead doing – raw most of the day and then I have a semi-cooked evening meal about 70% raw. I’m eating nuts and legumes also, avoiding the no-no list foods and once or twice a week eating out as normal (i.e. vegetarian curry). I hope to have a session with one of the AW recommended advisors soon for more advice on whether this approach is okay for me. Are you doing the full cleanse?

    Hi, I’ve perused your blog a bit after finding your post on your old wordpress blog referencing helichrysum for hearing loss. I am experiencing progressive hearing loss following a respiratory infection and I’m exploring natural options while I wait for medical opinions on my situation, so I appreciated all of the information you compiled about helichrysum.

    I read through some of your posts – what a tremendously difficult ordeal you have been through! I was wondering if a cochlear implant has been considered in your case, or if it is even an option for you. Is this something you’ve explored, or are hearing aids still working for you? Wishing you all the best ~

      Thanks for your message Charm. For now I have enough hearing to enable hearing aids to work so they wouldn’t consider me for cochlear implants. I have been thinking about it though as my hearing is still deteriorating, in one ear especially. The people who I have spoken to with cochlear implants have nothing but positive feedback and in some cases they seem to be able to hear better than us with hearing aids! So for me this is reassuring that their is a backup plan and that I will never have to consider the possibility of being completely deaf.
      Please read my earliest posts as it is important, if your hearing loss is recent, that you push for steroids urgently. There is no guarantee, but at least you will have tried them. If you are in the UK, it can take so long to get them that you miss your window of opportunity. My fingers and toes are crossed for you x

    Candice – my thoughts & prayers to you. As a result of a severe cholesteatoma , 2 leaks in my vestibular system & mastoidectomy with wall down I have total hearing loss on the left & balance issues . Surgery was in March ! I’m back to work 32 hrs/ wk & I can drive now. VRT really helped & I still need to do the exercises. What I finally learned & need to accept is that FATIGUE makes dizziness & imbalance
    worse. I have so many good days ( it never goes away but I can cope with it) but the bad days are discouraging . Dealing with the loss of hearing makes me sad- loved to plug in my ear buds to listen to my fav tunes – no more stereo now. I still sway to the right which makes me look drunk ! Oh and the wind pushes me around ! I loved finding your blog and wish you the best . I need to get back to the gym & try to kayak again . I needed to hear USE IT or LOSE IT… Thank you so much

      Hi Kay! Yes its really important to keep up the VRT but hard when you’re exhausted. I haven’t been doing mine and get lazier and lazier with the brain fatigue of having to manage hearing, visual and balance issues all day. Sounds like you are doing so well, keep going. You are right that exercise is the best remedy to retrain the brain. Oh I know that horrid drunk stagger…so embarrassing and humiliating, but I figure most people are not even noticing anything outside themselves. Sometimes I’ve literally shifted off the pavement onto the road, or tripped over my feet like the floor is moving, and when I look around not one person has noticed. Kayak!? wow I wish you luck. I cant see I would ever be able to do that now. I tried swimming and it really didn’t work out too well! I have gone from mermaid to drowning dog in the water 🙁 fingers crossed I’ll figure out new ways to do things.
      Thanks so much for your positive feedback. If you fancy writing about your story please let me know x

        Candice ! Thx for the comments.
        I took a class called “Matter of Balance ” & now taking Tai Chi.
        Tai Chi is making a difference ! Not sure if it’s because my legs are getting stronger or the extreme focus required to do each movement. It is making me slow down & I notice that I do everything too fast ! It has been 1 year since I went to the hospital and all things considered doing well. Good days vs bad days & being so sensitive to “everything”.
        Being completely deaf in my left ear makes what I hear on the right super loud sometimes.
        I really do not care if other people care or understand what I’m going through because I’m so busy keeping myself “steady” and working on my short term memory. Nice chatting with you again & I will keep you in my prayers ! In the meantime I’ll keep
        moving ! Happy ?valentines Day

    Hello Candice,

    They say misery loves company so I am glad to have found you. I am not looking for sympathy just a place to share and learn something new and perhaps provide help to others. You sound positive. That is the only way to be. Emotions are so contagious, good or bad. I prefer good.

    My name is Mike and I live in Las Vegas. Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma appeared in my right ear in 2002. Several surgeries and some radiation later left me vulnerable so when I was rear ended in my truck it shook my head up and caused me to have Oscillopsia. I have had Oscillopsia going on four years now. Some observations. If I stare (gaze fixation) at an object while walking and turn my head slightly without moving my eyes it immediately causes me to lose my balance. It appears like I am drunk, staggering. Blinking rapidly ensures my eyes don’t stay locked on any object, it helps. The equilibrium is no longer working to keep me in balance. My eyes or vision is used to keep me in balance. With my eyes closed there is no reference to know where I am in space and will go off balance and may fall. In 2013 the cancer appeared again and this time the doctors completely removed my right ear, inner and outer. At least now people look at me and can see a reason for my disability.

    Place a phone recording video against your forehead. Now walk normally. When the video is played back you will see the world the way I do. Driving is out of the question. Any bump causes my vision to jump and when I turn my head from the left side mirror to the right side mirror I completely lose objects in my field of vision. At times when the road is really bumpy or going over a speed bump, I need to completely close my eyes.

    Stay strong.

    Mike

I’m able to drive but like you it takes a great deal of concentration to keep my eyes on the road. But please try not to close your eyes while driving! we need to keep our arms and legs or else we’ll be really buggered!

    After reading these comments, I just bought helichrysum essential oil 100 ml. My hearing ability was perfectly alright till I was 17 years old . Then I got MDR Tuberculosis. For which I was forced to use powerful antibiotic injections in order to save my life. Otherwise I would have died. By 18 years, TB completely got cured, however I lost my hearing ability and got completely deaf due to damage of nerves and side effects of antibiotics. I’m now 26 years. Using hearing aids to both the ears and also Suffering with tinnitus.

    I bought this oil 100 ml just to give a try, can someone tell me how my hearing will be restored and how to use this oil

    Hi, I’m Carmen from Texas. I have chronic vertigo due to some bubble of fluid in my sinoids to which I was told there was no medicine or surgery to help me. Most of my hearing in my left ear is gone. I also have permanent vestibular imbalance as a result of ear surgery I had in March 2015 (Silverstein micro wick) where Gentamicin is injected in the ear. Then I used the ear drops for 2 weeks and now I’m disabled. I’ve had 4 vestibular therapy sessions to no avail. All said my condition is too chronic. Three months after the surgery, my system went haywire and all medications for anxiety, nausea, and dizziness either stopped working or made me violently I’ll. The only medicine that helps me function is Lorazepam but a very high dosage. I’ve been homebound since this October due too chronic dizziness every time in the car. Life is hard. And now I need to start weining off med cuz doctors don’t want to continue prescribing. I’m so scared and sad. Wishing u better days.

    I’m 36 now but developed menieres when I was age 17.
    I really feel for you with experiencing such drastic sudden changes to your health.
    Have you heard about a therapy that was trialled in USA but don’t know where its available today. There is a video on YouTube of a lady who had gentamycin for an infection and it destroyed her vestibular system. She had electronic device on her tongue and it basically wielded with her brain to become a prosthetic vestibular system. The effects lasted a few hours after using it.
    Also traditional Chinese medicine indicates kidney problems when ears have problems so thou could try kidney tea tonics, acupuncture etc.

    Hi Candice,

    Sorry for your issues, but it seems like you’re doing pretty well. Way to go. I developed a brain tumor (acoustic neuroma) and had it removed almost three years ago. I lost hearing and this also started my imbalance and oscillopsia. I’m improved over the past couple of years, but have persistent imbalance and still have oscillopsia. I’m told that I need to provoke the symptoms that are most difficult for me so as to “get used to it”. So, I’ve joined the local YMCA and am trying to jog. I’m doing it, but have only seen marginal improvement since starting (about 1.5 years). I plan to keep trying as – what else can I do. Plus, it’s good for me. I hope for a cure some day, but I’ll take improvement. Be well. Barry

      Barry, What a journey you have been on! I salute you for all you have had to go through and your stamina to get better. I love to see people work so hard to overcome these obstacles. I have not been able to jog except for a few meters to catch a bus or get across a street for example. I’m not sure how it is possible with eyes bouncing in their sockets so it is inspiring to me that you are able to do this. I assume you have had Vestibular Rehabilitation Training (VRT)? if not definitely find someone to provide this to you. They will work out where you have the most trouble balancing and then give you exercises to help you train your brain. This really helped me though I didn’t persist with it to get even better once I was walking. I agree the main thing is exercise and VRT. You could get a balance mat and do your VRT on the pad. Though really all of these exercises help you learn to balance, but not necessarily make the oscillopsia any better. I think over time you just forget what it was like to have straight unbouncy vision.
      I’m awaiting a bit more information but will soon publish a guest post and this may have a few more tips so please look out for this.

    Hello Candice,

    I recently this past month have been dealing with this terrible condition of oscillopsia and balance issues due to possible menieres disease. I’ve seen so many doctors this past month I can’t count on two hands. I started VRT about two weeks ago and seen slight improvement with my balance but not the oscillopscia. I’m trying my hardest to stay positive but sometimes I just cry. I have a 16yr old son so I try to stay upbeat around him but I’m only human. I pray that I can go back to work in a few months but I can’t imagine going back to work feeling like this. My family says I should just focus on my health which is the best thing to do but when you’ve been working all your life it’s hard to just sit around the house. My family has been so supportive and for that I’m truly thankful. Thank you for sharing your story as it makes me feel that I’m not alone. I haven’t even told some of my family and friends yet partly because I’m still trying to understand this situation I’m in myself. I pray you continue to get better and God bless everyone dealing with this condition.

      Hi Deon, I’m so sorry for what you are going through. There is currently no known ‘cure’ for oscillopsia. The VRT helps the brain to adjust to the vision jumping, and keep balance,m but it doesn’t, as far as I know, improve the oscillopsia. What happens over time though is that the brain just gets used to the bouncy vision. I have been bouncy for 2.5 years now and almost forget what it was like when my vision was still. You have to be gentle with yourself. This is going to take some time to adjust to and it’s only natural to feel distraught sometimes. Take one day at a time. Don’t sit around..try to move as much as you can, even if it is only around the house or in your street to start with, as this all helps your brain to re-adjust. And don’t forget to turn to your friends and family for help and support when you need them. People wont understand how to help unless you are very clear about what you need. Maybe a secure arm to lean on as you walk around your area…or just a listening ear. Wishing you all the best x

      Thanks Olivia. I do hope you will read Anthony william’s new book called thyroid Healing. There is no better book on thyroid Healing in existence I promise you.

    Hi Candice Honestly you are truly an inspiration to so many people. I am one of them. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating this blog. The comfort I draw from it is immeasurable. It helps me get through my day with emotions that match my desires to feel better and safe. I experienced 50% hearing loss and tinnitus last year due to toxicity from a supplement called Ox Bile. Who would have thought? I did not put two and two together and became very ill over time. I am a vegetarian so taking this supplement was foolish. It has taught me to not be so vulnerable and trustworthy of people with titles. Thank you and thank you to all the caring people who participate in sharing their knowledge and experiences. Love you all.

      Thankyou so much Lani! Urgh I can’t believe something like that would cause hearing loss! So unfortunate. I’m so sorry. As a kinesiologist I can now test the impact of supplements and other substsnceson a person and it’s pretty awful how rubbish many of the supplements out there are. I hate seeing people buy cheap multivitamins and new heal-all pills. By kinesiology testing the body you can really see what the body wants and avoid putting extra burden on the body. Though the skill of the practitioner is also important. I mean who knew ox bile supplements could cause hearing loss?! Wishing you all the best x

Happy healing Candice 💜🍌🍑🍐🍏🍋

    Hi Candice,
    My son is 23 and has had terrible vertigo since he was 21. We thought it has something to do with him joining the crew team in college. After going to several doctors they said he has middle ear damage and they don’t know what the cause is. I wanted try a holistic approach. Have you tried any of the essential oils? Thanks!!!! Dede

      Hi Dede, I did write a post on Heliochrysum Oil which was very popular but you know, so far no-one wrote back and reported any successes. Instead I would invite you to read up on the posts in my Natural Health blogs, especially those on Medical Medium. Best wishes, Candice

    Hi Candice,
    I am Ron. I also suffer from tinnitus and hearing loss. I recently had a cochlear implant done. It is too soon to tell how much it has helped. They tell me it could be 3-6 months before I get used to it. Best of luck on your journey and keep fighting.
