Mal De Debarqueuent Syndrome
Hi
Has anyone here had any success treating Mal De Debarqueuent Syndrome ?
What is Mal de Debarquement Syndrome?
Mal de Debarquement Syndrome (or MdDS) is an imbalance or rocking/swaying sensation often both "felt" and "seen" by the sufferer that occurs after exposure to motion (most commonly after a sea cruise or a flight). Although other forms of travel have been known to trigger it.
After alighting or "debarking" (debarquement) the traveller continues to feel "all at sea", unable to get their land legs back. Although most travellers can identify with this feeling and do actually experience it temporarily after disembarking, unfortunately in the case of MdDS sufferers it can persist for many weeks, months, even years afterwards.
The symptoms are with you constantly, they never leave, nor can they be alleviated by any anti-motion sickness drugs (eg Stemetil, Serc etc)
"Like trying to constantly walk on a mattress or trampoline"
is a good description of the main symptom, which is usually most pronounced when the patient is sitting still; in fact, the sensations are usually minimized by actual motion, for example driving.

Hi Craig, this disembarkment syndrome it's fairly newly considered there are not enough research about it and it is quite rare, personally i believe that an anxiety treatment with hypnosis cannot hurt, but that's all I have to say.
Cheers
Michael

Craig,
Thanks for bringing this topic up this is one I was unaware I know alot of people who wouldn't know would probably say this would be a symptom of Vertigo.

Why don't you try the same as vertigo...and anxiety symptoms also. Hypnosis getting to relax and relieving stress can only help.

Just thought I would share the follow up of this case with those that may be interested
It has been 6 months since I have seen this client and decided to phone her to to see how she was going
She reported that all of her symptoms have gone and she is now living a normal happy life ....but is not sure if the hypnosis was the reason for the turn around .....just a coincedence :)
For anyone that is interested it took 3 sessions
regression and chair work ......I love this work :)
