Really sorry to hear this Russ, I knew you suffered from migraine attacks but didn't realise it was this serious.

I hope you get it under control without detriment to your LGV licence.

I can sympathise with you having been struck down by a similar ailment on day one of my annual European bike trip in 2007. A virus damaged the receptors in my inner ear resulting in acute vertigo and nausea. 10 days in a French hospital and 4 and half months off work followed. Months of physio whilst feeling sick (likened to constant seasickness) to retrain the brain to reinterpret the conflicting signals from my balance receptors eventually got me back to work and back on 2 wheels. Although repeat episodes are a possibility, the brain very quickly picks it up again, and normally I might feel a bit dodgy anything between a few hours to a day or two, but these repeat episodes very rear thankfully. No more than 3 for me in the last 12 years I would say. Good luck and stick to the physio if that’s your treatment no matter how sick you’re feeling. Not nice but it worked for me.

Been doing anything different lately?
I had a very bad bout of vertigo years ago and I think it was down to servicing a particular thing at work where i was working looking up all week with head tilted back all the way...... then went to an ac/dc concert. So violently sick the next few days if I moved at all with the room doing back flips. It's the worst feeling I've ever had. Brain sorted itself out to compensate in a week, luckily sick went in a few days. I've noticed my balance isn't good in the dark when eyes have less to focus on. Sometimes feel a bit dizzy when getting off bike in the dark.

Sorry to hear about your problem Russ, but glad you think it may be Migraine related.
I had something similar called BPPV a few years ago and was falling around in the dark, thought my riding days were over. I got diagnosed and repositioned on the national health, it a sort of exercise like Steve T mentioned where you swivel the neck to left and right to reposition debris in the inner ear, a long shot but might be connected. All the best and keep us posted on developments
