Geelong’s Courtney Gibb is used to feeling healthy and strong. She’s a regular gym goer, who’s won the title of Miss Fitness three times. But last Christmas, the 28-year-old started experiencing strange symptoms.
“I felt really dizzy and really nauseous,” Gibb tells Mamamia. “I put it down to I’d just had a baby seven months ago and it was maybe my hormones re-aligning.
“Then there was one day I was completely bedridden. I just felt so, so sick.
“I couldn’t focus properly and my vision was a bit distorted.”
Gibb went to a doctor, who diagnosed her as having vertigo and put her on medication. But it only made her feel worse. She went back to the doctor and asked about having a CT scan or an MRI.
“She pretty much screwed her face up and said, ‘No, there’s nothing wrong with you,’” Gibb says.
