I too found that when I stopped doing physical therapy regularly, things seemed to go backwards…😒 It’s like everything else for me, I get motivated, then I fall off when I don’t see immediate results! I’m learning the hard way that this stroke thing doesn’t work that way. I’m sure you, like me, beat yourself up for stopping the regular PT. It feels like I worked SO SO hard for that gain and for it to be seemingly for nothing is heartbreaking! We’ll make a pact to start doing something- ANYTHING every single day and not to quit!
Regarding your dizziness/vertigo- I’m sure you’ve tried all the typical things- meclizine, scopolamine patch etc. Those seemed to make me worse! One thing that did eventually help me was vestibular therapy. Not only maneuvers but also eye tracking exercises and techniques etc. Something you may look into. If you’re like me, you’re constantly searching for anything.
