Review for Vestibular Disorders Association, Portland, OR, USA
It has been over 14 years since I first became dizzy and off balance. It has been a hell for all of the years and I am still suffering. At first after visiting a doctor supposedly well known for dealing with all forms of dizziness and ear problems, he thought perhaps an operation would help. I refused and went on my way to Mayo clinic in Minneapolis. After another battery of repeated tests they were just as confounded as the first doctor and after staying 5 days with each day more tests, the only thing they could offer was more physical therapy. I agreed and came back home to again do more physical therapy. It was fruitless. After more doctors and doctors, I have come to the conclusion that I either have M.S. or a slight case of Parkinsons or some case of auto immune disease. When I tell this to my primary doctor he thinks I am way off because I look so healthy and exercise and eat all the right foods and etc. etc.Never smoked or drank too much so why am I dizzy? Veda has not been able to help me.I am off balance every day as soon as I get up untill I go to bed. This is hell. I am going on 89 yrs. take no medicine, just vitamins and as you may now know as soon as you get into the eighties, forget it the doctors figure you've had enough time and now lets look to the younger groups. This is my story, I have given in the past so many times and received nothing in return . I have had all the advice I can handle. I do not drink but I am drunk every day until I go to sleep. This is what Vestibular Disorder feels like!
