Lori, thanks for your response, I am late in responding to your reply because we were at our second physical therapy appointment,
so you were spot on. Where were you a yr ago (Ha!) I feel like I'm a little slow. We are considering coming to Mayo in Minnesota. Any suggestions on who to see?

I am very glad about the Physical Therapy! It will help, for sure. I have never been to Mayo, so I cannot give advice on that one. Keep me posted, and good luck! Lori Renee

@randypixie - sorry to hear about your wife's balance problems. Understandable you feel at a loss with 2 years of this problem, many tests by doctors, and no diagnosis. Sounds like @doncampbell can relate to some of what she has experienced.

I think that both @johnbishop and also @jenniferhunter could tell you about their experiences at Mayo Clinic and may have some thoughts about what your wife has gone through.

@doncampbell - you mentioned a brain scan revealing that the blood supply to a part of your brain is restricted, which your consultant says is the cause of your balance problem. You talked about being encouraged to exercise and that it was also suggested to take aspirin, which you said might have its own dangers. How are you considering proceeding at this point?
