ENT update!!!

I had my vestibular testing a few days ago and I had results! Today was my follow up appointment with thr ENT doctor to go over them. She didn't have any definitive answers😔 Mostly because she's not sire what causes it. But, I might have vestibular neuritis. Which means inflammation in the vestibular nerve, in both of my ears. Vestibular therapy should help. I might have to see a neurologist. I do get headaches on and off with my vertigo episodes. So a neurologist might be helpful for that. I'm glad I got some answers and possible solutions. Im just glad to know I'm not crazy😊

So sorry to hear that. I know someone with that issue. There are exercises to help your eyes compensate for the failings of the inner ear. Many people become symptom-free through that. There is a branch of physiotherapy that specializes in this.

Do you have any dizziness or do you feel insecure on your legs because of lack of balance? How is it at night or in a dark environment?

Did you ever have a sudden hearing loss that came back after a while?

The reason I am asking all those questions is that you may have what is called a vestibular schwannoma (or acoustic neuroma). It is a benign tumor that surrounds the vestibular nerve and impairs your balance. They are usually detected through a MRI after a unilateral hearing loss or balance problems.

@Stephie My hearing is normal. I got tested for that too. It's more like disequilibrium. My vertigo isn't spinning, everything leans to the left

I'm so sorry that you have vertigo. I had it once in my life and i wouldn't wish that in anyone. It felt like the room was taking off. I just paid on the bed, clinging on until it was time to throw up again. Thankfully mine went away with some pills but it was still a few weeks until i felt i could drive again. I hope you're able to find some answers because that shit isn't funny.
