@mdotsie I am going to connect you with memebers @claudia11 @msfrank04 @humminbird1963 and @overcomer11. Can any of you enlighten mdotsie as to how one can cope with vertigo symptoms?

Can you tell me if the physical therapy techniques taught were helpful throughout the day? Is it in the morning when you wake that you feel the worst?

@mdotsie, I send you warm wishes that you are able to find some relief or something that will help you cope with this debilitating effect from the necrosis.

Thanks. My vertigo symptoms start as soon as I get up and never let up all day. I can get around with a cane or a walker but I haven't found a way to do much that requires even sitting up for very long. I'm an artist and I don't have the stamina to deal with constant vertigo and produce artwork. I guess what I'm hoping to find is how to do any kind of work while coping with constant vertigo, if anyone has found a way to do that. I also have a vision problem where my eyes don't"track" as the ophthalmologist put it, but I am learning to cope with that even though I read more slowly and really have to concentrate to avoid slipping into double vision. Most days, if I am too active, I get nausea and often vomit, just like seasickness. I've tried medications and bracelets and they are somewhat helpful but some days even brushing my teeth causes so much head movement that I have nausea from it. If anyone else has these symptoms and is coping better than I am, I would like to hear about how you do it.
