I’ve had horrible symptoms for the 5+ years and doctor’s still haven’t decided what is it yet?
During my freshman year of college I got a horrible cold and fever. The fever was so bad that I was hallucinating. After that I began experiencing tinnitus (ringing in my right ear) every since. It has never stopped since that night. It gets quieter but then sometime its really load an roaring. Another symptom I have is severe Vertigo with true Nystagmus. The vertigo happens when Im really upset, happy or sad. In extreme heat or cold. And also if I do anything that gets my heart rate up. So the vertigo is episodic. I’ve been getting tested for years. They’ve found white spots on my brain during MRI’s, I have clinical hearing differences in my right ear(tinnitus) but no clues to what is –or how to make it stop. I can’t even mop my floor without getting severe Vertigo and having to lay down til it ends–which can be 3hours to five complete days! If you know anything about this–or have experienced it please help. I need a way to make ths go away so I can enjoy playing with my daughter!

So sorry you are enduring this. Often a bad virus can be a trigger for autoimmune disease. AS you have lesions on the brain, what tests have they run to determine the cause? I have Antiphospholipid syndrome and it can cause several of your problems. Not every one presents the same with this, but I would recommend a blood test.
Best wishes
Have you been tested for meneire’s disease? A friend of mine had very similar symptoms, and that was the culprit. He is on a very low salt diet and certain medications that help tremendously, including antivert, which works very well to control vertigo. Good luck!
