Review for Vestibular Disorders Association, Portland, OR, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

My balance is completely off due to my vestibular system. What makes it even worse is the vertigo that does not go away. I did take medication however, I was allergic and a very itchy rash was from my scalp to my ankles.
I did go to physical therapy which my insurance approved only 20 sessions per year.
This is not sufficient. I do the exercises at home which takes much time. I stay at home a lot and cannot go a lot of places with my friends. Sitting down I am fine, lying down I am fine and driving my car I am also okay. As soon as get up my vertigo kicks in. My doctors are not helpful. Physical Therapy will do the epily maneuver (not sure of spelling) but the one time it was done I was sick for 4 days. They say that is the only thing that will help.
I really am miserable.
