Experiencing Extreme dizziness & Vertigo?!

I was diagnosed with vertigo and dizziness. They told me it was an ear imbalance and had me go to a vertigo therapist. After a couple of weeks I stopped as I found it useless. Out of the therapy I have had no change. I had to talk to a neurologist and all he did was test me for dementia. I did that twice. Once a year. After I did better the second time I was tested I told him I didn’t need it.
Come to find out it was determined to come from the psychiatric meds I was on. It was caused by medication. I switched to different medications but I stopped trying to “fix it “ .
That was years ago and I still am living with vertigo. It’s on my medical chart that I have vertigo and had to learn to live with it. I actually had to walk around with a cane to “catch me” from falling down. It keeps me from falling but the vertigo never left me so I’m under the impression that it would never go away.
It has left me with the inability to hear well. As a result it has left me unable to walk around without that cane . My hearing aids slipped down the stems around my ears due to the slippery stems. I haven’t worn them in over a year even though Medicare pays for them.

Talk to your doctor about a flexion x-ray of your cervical spine. 6 views, not 4. I finally am fixed by a C23 Facet nerve block and then ablation.
Valium will help significantly in the mean time
