Review for Vestibular Disorders Association, Portland, OR, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

When I was diagnosed with inner ear nerve damage by several specialists I was basically given no information or treatment, I was just told to "wait" and see what happened. Yes, "wait". Never mind that I was too dizzy to walk, drive, work or take care of myself. Somehow I found VEDA and learned what my test findings meant, what possible therapy might be available to me and that I was not alone. There were support groups, provider lists, detailed descriptions of different diagnoses of similar sets of symptoms, other patient accounts of how they navigated through life after diagnosis. I also learned how to minimize and manage symptoms as much as possible, local resources and general knowledge that I could handle this. I really am so appreciative of this organization which was so helpful to me at the lowest point of my life. I have referred others to VEDA knowing that they will also find help.
