CRAP! 30% of my right vestibular system is gone.
The doc thinks it might be viral and will recover but damn I am tired of being dizzy. I went through 3 hours of testing on my balance system> I felt like a borg with the damn goggles. Plus the audiologist skipped lunch and her stomach was rumbling.Plus this keyboard on my new notebook is musshy.


Why me?

2. Well, I guess if you're dizzy and prone to falling, mushy things are good. n/t

4. Well, in my limited experience
better mushy than sticky.

And...feel better soon. And tell your audiologist to eat something, fer chrissakes.

:hug:

5. get well soon
i feel bad but i am too much of a dumb-ass to know what a vestibular system is, but i've had my share of dizzy spells from low blood pressure, they are most unpleasant

7. It could well be an infection,
and it could pass completely.

I had an infection (it developed into a head-cold) which screwed up my balance (I came close to falling down multiple times), and gave me "freight-trains" (they were loud, disorienting -- and I felt like I was going to pass out.)

It cleared-up by itself in a short time (doctors cost money). Sudafed helped (significantly), but I think that my infection was maybe in a different place.
