Well -- we seem to have the same problems and a similar history. My PT had been working on terrible tension on my neck which caused brain fog. He has gotten rid of the brain fog, but dizziness is still there and we will be working on the eye problem next week. I will get back to you with any information you can use.... I spend too much time on my computer....am relentlessly right handed and have been favoring the right side of my body and ignoring the left hand side. He said that I have to make a deliberate attempt to use the left side (also, i use a cpap machine which makes it difficult to turn over in bed so I am always in one position which doesn't help). We are looking into eye glasses, and he may also do some vestibular PT on my eyes. So to sum it up,
1. My neck was so frozen from working on computer and lack of movement and that caused the brain fog. He has loosened it up and I will have some exercises to keep it loosened up. I also raised my computer and now will get up every hour or so, walk around and move my neck.
2.. We will try vestibular pt for my eyes, possibly get glasses, but he thinks that if I start using my left side I might get the eyes to work together.
Stay tuned......I will report back after next wednesday when I have my next PT session... My PN has gone past my knees and I will also be working on my balance..... I hope this helps you as much as it has, so far, helped me..... Vertigo is miserable -- i can live with the numb legs, but the lack of balance and perpetual dizziness is awful... Let's hope he finds what will work == FOR BOTH OF US...... gloria

Thank you. Helpful in trying to understand what is going on in my body. The wooziness develops as the day progresses. It is non-existent when I am sitting or lying down but returns quickly when I stand up after being seated. It is very debilitating.
