Breakthrough in my vertigo today!! :hyper:

Went back to see another specialist doctor and he was finally able to give me some answers. Apparently I have a condition (too long of a name to type out and I can't even pronounce it lol) that makes my balance system highly sensitive. That is why I'm dizzy almost everyday and from certain things and movements that trigger it. After two years of tests, doctors, medications, and ruling everything out, I finally have an answer :D I'm so excited to finally know where it's coming from.

Unfortunately there is no way to make it go away. He gave me some exercises to do that can help calm it down a little. He said over time, these movements I have to do train my balance sensors to not make me so dizzy when I do certain things that make it a lot worse, like reading, looking at any type of screen, etc.

That's good to hear you finally got some answers! Sucks that it's not curable, but it's cool that you can at least do those excercises to make it less right? :up:

Thanks GG :hug: I'm just surprised that it turned out to be something so simple and they did all the heavy duty medical testing beforehand. I guess they just wanted to rule out anything serious first.

Yep he said it will definitely lesson the severity of the vertigo.

Hi Daz :wave:

How are you?
 
Meeting is delayed a little bit, so I thought I'd pop back here while I wait.

How are you?

That's good. Were there things you couldn't do because of the vertigo? Perhaps you can do those after a while of doing excercises! :D

sorry, Kristen, to hear you got such news. But at least now you know after going to so many doctors, that counts for something! Hope the excercises will help you!!

I could never go on carnival rides (not that I would anyway. I'm scared of those :reject:).

I basically do everything else normally but have adapted to having the vertigo along with it. The computer screen, movie screens, and reading bring it on bad but I've just learned to live with that. The doc said these exercises will help to make it milder when I'm doing these things. :up:
 
Kristen!!!:hug:

for a very split secound I thought like you had found some super spectacular Vertigo Tour Live Downloiad!!! :lol::lol::lol::huh::lol:

I is tired but in pretty good spirits!:D

WOW they finally found something!!!:hug::hug:
Yeah that does suck, it won't completely go away...but yeah, do those exercises!:yes::up:

You should ALSO google in the condition plus Tai Chi and see whether there's any mention.
Tai Chi is often done so slowly it might also help ..... i don't know but it does strengthen muscles and promotes good balance ( among other things).
