Leaving Airsoft :(

[Baz JJ]

Sorry to hear your bad news mate.

 

As I understand it, the symptoms can be lessened and controlled sometimes, so lets just hope its a temporary setback.

[Guest PT247]

sorry to read this mate. I hope you are able to control it and hopefully find your way back into skirmishing in the future.

Sorry to hear this mate. I hope this doesn't hold you back too much and you enjoy your life to the full extent that you can, and that you get better and can soon play airsoft. I wish you all the luck and keep us updated, I am sure you will be fine

[Lozart]

One of my colleagues had this but he has recovered now. Here's to a speedy recovery!

you have my sympathies i suffered vertigo for 4 years so know how tough it can be i wish you the best of luck and a good medical team.

[EvilMonkee]

I had vertigo for a few days once and unless people have experienced it they can't fully appreciate how debilitating it is so I really feel for you, hope the symptoms ease soon.

[Del Monty]

Thanks everyone .. really means a lot to me.

 

I am confident of playing again, perhaps this was natures way of telling me to take a break or something .. who knows, but I will remain on the forums and still be part of this fantastic community.

Del Monty, gutted to hear your news mate, really terrible, I'm sure you'll fight it as hard as you play and hope to see you back on here and one day to meet you on the field. You know you'll always be welcome, stay strong brother, you can beat this! Even with a pink M4!!

[Fugi94]

Sorry to hear this I hope one day you can carry on playing but a least you'll still be on the forums helping newbies like me:)

Its the constant lightheadeness thats the worse, you constantly feel drunk even though you haven't had a drop of anything .. that and the headaches and feeling of sickness, and continual ringing in the ears .. but what I have been told and read the disease will burn out eventually but may leave me hard of hearing in the affected ear.

[murph]

Sorry to hear about this, mate. Really a shame. Here's to a speedy recovery and getting back out there.

[Yuriski]

Damn, sounds like hell - hope you can continue skirmishing later on. That Pink M4 is awesome.

hiya mate,

 

sorry to hear about your problems. ive suffered from labyrinthitis and i know how bad trying to get by with lightheadedness and other implications can be!

i have found believe it or not that things like yoga have helped in training myself to deal with "sudden drops" and other parts of the viral infection.

i was worried at a time that it could have been Ménière's disease as well.

 

if you need anything or just want someone to talk to that has been in a similar boat feel free to drop me a PM

No worries dude.

[Cheeky vimto]

All the best mate, Life is really unfair.

[Del Monty]

Thanks guys, never expect so much support .. its very appreciated

[armysurplusandtoys]

Just seen your thread.... I am sorry to hear that.

 

I know it' s hard but never give up the fight...

 

I was diagnosed with diabetes at 16 just as i was starting to apply for the royal marines, been hard times but what you do find is a lot of people to support you and the inner strength to keep going even if at first you do not realize it.

[Bullet]

Dude this sucks. Positive suggestion. Grab yourself a boltie or an air rifle and take up target shooting. And if your feeling able setup as a gun tech and take on work as and when you can!

[Deek]

Whilst it may seem like the end of the world, it isn't

 

Ménière's is potentially a life changing condition, but depending on how severe the condition is depends on the success of any treatments offered. Rather than quitting right away consider having a break and allowing the specialists to review what is going on and what treatment(s) would benefit you.

 

You may need lifestyle changes, but again discuss these with your specialist and your GP...

 

It is quite important to remember that with any condition like this depression is common, especially when you realise it is potentially life changing. By quitting the hobby you love prematurely you run the risk of compounding your depression, which can lead to other complications.

 

Try and remain positive, and if the treatments help to limit symptoms then with careful management there should be no reasons why you shouldn't enjoy airsofting.

Sad news mate, hope you get back on your feet with haste.

Have u thought about marshaling or is this also non do able.
