Bouncing Brain

[onbehalfof]

BIOLOGICAL ROOT CAUSE?
You're a very knowledgeable lot on here!
I'm about to describe an extreme neurological disruption (not for sympathy or to compare experiences-I've been ill for decades so I'm past that) its more that I'd like your opinions on the possible likely biological cause so I can hopefully try and help it. It feels related to cerebal blood flow/brain blood vessels maybe? There are three parts

1. The feeling of severe brain movement-like its vigorously bouncing like a ball (more extreme than a headache)
2. Faintness and dizziness
3. Literally no mental actiivity-nothing happening at all-no thoughts arising

It has the usual ME triggers ie orthostatic intolerance, information overload, physical exertion, reactions to chemicals, heat, fluorescent lighting etc.
Thank you

I did read an article about a young man who felt as though his brain was sloshing around inside his skull. I don’t know whether he ever found an explanation or treatment.

(I know his problems started after a blow to the head, but I just thought I’d mention it anyway.)
