MdDS is typically diagnosed when a person reports a persistent rocking feeling (though they are not necessarily rocking). This usually follows a cruise or other motion experience. Your doctor(s) may throw up their hands because your vestibular tests all prove negative. Many doctors believe this came about when your brain did not return to a normal sense of balance after adapting to a motion experience. A major indicator is that most of us feel BETTER while driving or riding in a car.

Here, you will find caring people who understand what it's like to live with this rare neurological disorder. This is a public site but requires that you subscribe by indicating why you believe you have MdDS. Our members are welcomed from many countries, so feel free to contact us.
