In these discussions @mgvarela @claudia11 talk about vestibular neuritis. @callalily74 also recently wrote about balance issues and falling a lot.

Jeannen, have you been given a diagnosis of vestibular neuritis?

My diagnosis was Benign Paroximinal vestibular disorder one year ago. I went to therapy for 7 weeks with them doing the epley maneuver and one other maneuver where they put a mask on you which contains a camera. My eyes had to be open when they lay you back so they could see the movement of my eyes on a TV screen.. I also took Meclizine 12 mgs. It seemed to help for a while but never really went away. After each session they wanted me to sleep in a recliner at a 90 dg. angle. I haven't seen a doctor yet and don't know who to go to. I am 81 and was very active.
