Feeling Drunk all the time

[Jacobdv]

Hi,
For the past many years I've had this feeling of being drunk all the time.
It started when I was13. After a session of playing at school, I started to feel dazed and drunk, like I was in a dream. Very soon I started to have this felling ALL the time. Every single moment of every day for the last eight years. Initially I was very worried and complained to my parents and family doctor but to no avail. I learnt to ignore this feeling.But not any more. This condition has adversely affected my studies. I have become physically and mentally inactive. A simple task of reading is a challenge.
Things around me don't fell real...like in a dream. I've visited a neurologist several time and even had an MRI scan and various blood tests. All were normal.I'm really frustrated and confused. I'll be very grateful if someone could at least diagnose this condition.

Did you ever find out what was going on and why you were having the symptoms that you were describing?

I have the same symptoms. Almost all the time now, I feel like I'm tipsy, dizzy and confused. I can't focus my thoughts and it's hard to focus my eyes. I am forgetful and slower mentally. I even wake up with a slight taste of alcohol in my mouth when I haven't been drinking. Menopause can account for some of the confusion and forgetfulness, but not the other symptoms.

In researching online today, I read about Endogenous ethanol production, recently discovered and also called auto-brewery syndrome. In it's full blown state, the sufferer actually gets drunk from yeast fermentation in the gut.

I've scheduled an appointment with my doctor, but in the meantime, I'm going to try cutting out all foods that turn into simple sugars.

I'll keep you posted.

Decided to comment since this reaches all the way to 2015 with the hopes that people are still reading..

I've had a myriad of blood tests done and nothing. I am anemic but I take iron and it does not improve the drunk feeling. My latest attempt at getting rid of this feeling is trying a gluten free diet. Gluten intolerance frequently pops up when I try to search this feeling. I'm two weeks into it and going to try for a while to see if anything changes. I've noticed digestive changes already but no brain change yet.

One other thing that has been popping up in my searches lately in Meniere's Disease. Sounds like what a lot of people are describing here. Has anyone heard of/looked into this one?

Anyway, hoping people will update if they find a cause or solution.
