Sensory integration dysfunction question!?

I'm 19years old. when i was younger i would get sick in cars a lot and throw up, especially if it was a long drive... then when i was about 8 or 9 i didn't get motion sickness so much anymore, and i LOVED roller coasters. the strange thing is, is yesterday i was in my ceramics class and up until now i didn't have to work on the wheel( i was only working with the clay with my hands). so i sat down at the wheel and the seat is very slightly slanted and i kept feeling like i was going to fall off and no one else in the class felt like this. then, when the wheel stared to spin, even very slowly, i felt dizzy and physically sick! when i got up from the wheel i stumbled a little bit like a child does when they are spun around a few times. and today i still feel slightly dizzy, almost 24 hours later! i wonder if this means that my vestibular system is reworking itself or if its something different. i am learning about sensory integration in my child development classes.

What you're describing does not sound like anything to do with sensory integration dysfunction. This sounds like a vestibular issue. There are lots of different kinds of vestibular problems, many of which are misdiagnosed by family physicians, ER physicians, and even ear, nose & throat specialists. I'm curious...when you sat down, did you also look down? If your symptoms worsen when you tilt your head down or back (like when washing your hair), or when you lie down in bed or roll over onto your side, that could be BPPV. BPPV is easy to treat, but you have to find someone who knows how to treat it. Other types of vestibular problems usually improve with time, and unfortunately there's not a lot you can do to rush that process along. It's probably a good idea to call see your family physician to make sure he/she doesn't suspect a heart or neurological issue. But keep in mind that the medications that physicians often prescribe to "treat" dizziness, like Antivert (Meclizine) or Valium don't fix anything - they just mask the symptoms, mainly by making you sleepy. Taking those kinds of medications can be helpful if you're having severe spinning with nausea or vomiting, but if your symptoms are mild, taking those medications long-term can actually slow the body's natural recovery process. If your symptoms are mild, it's best to try to go about your daily activites as usual, but please be safe about it (like when driving or walking) and don't overdo it. Being a total couch potato to avoid mild symptoms can slow the recovery process down too. Consider calling around to ear, nose & throat practices in your area to find out if they are well-versed in vestibular disorders. Best of luck to you.

possibly. Its awful strange that it stopped for such a long time and then cam back after all those years. That would be a great question to ask a nurse on campus

hope you feel better soon. I know how you feel. Im feelings super dizzy right now!

I have sensory integration dysfuntion. I will be 26 this May and I was diagonosed with it when I was 7.

You do not have SID, there is a lot more to SID, and even though every case is different. You experience more sensory things than anything else.
