Hi @lois6524 thank you. I appreciate your input. I am glad you found a solution with only a few visits. After a while in dealing with my balance issue and motion sickness, I decided to try vestibular therapy as well. Luckily I found a physical therapist with over 20 years experience in vestibular treatments. We tried the different exercises to move the crystals in my ears. I was so determined to improve that I followed all the instructions including doing additional exercises at home. I gave it a week but saw no improvement at all. Instead I still had the same motion sickness but now I had a terrible headache. Needless to say, i stopped the therapy. A couple days later my headache went away. I am glad I gave it a shot. One less attempt on my list and I know now to move onto another. Thank you for your suggestion. When I look for a neurologist I will ask for one that deals with neuropathy. I may be able to get more info. My neuro surgeon who caused my neuropathy told me it would eventually go away. It is going on 4 years now and I still have it. It hasn’t gotten worse. Maybe slightly improved, hard to tell. Keep on advocating for yourself. I am glad to hear you are looking out for you regarding your health.

I had experienced the vertigo also for about a year and after 2 unsuccessful visits to ENT’s was lucky enough to find a P/T who specialized in this disorder. Since there are 3 ear canals it is most important to know which one to work on and the movements depend on that otherwise the crystals can continue to move from one canal to another without alleviating the problem. My gal was a whiz and I have not experienced that awful vertigo since, although I do sometimes have some short lived dizziness but it is nothing in comparison.
