Joyces and Barbb..... Thank you for your ongoing discussion of balance issues. I am still looking for a VRT. Most seem to focus on the increased strength as in the exercises you do at home Barb. I think I need to take another look and see if they do the balance exercises in the office. My balance sees to get worse every day and with that the nausea also increases. I don't eat much since food has no appeal and have lost 35 lbs in the last two years. Also have an autoimmune disease, Takahusus Arteritis. Treatment for that caused a NTM lung infection. Antibiotics for the lung infection caused the hearing loss and the balance and dizziness issues. Had to give up the antibiotics, was stable for 3 years but now the lung disease is suddenly getting worse. I have to decide if I want to do antibiotics again. I am completely dea f now so antibiotics can't affect hearing. But they can cause balance to get even worse and loss of color vision. It's a real merry-go-round and I feel like I am losing bits of myself every day. Very depressing.
That was just some background. I do some of the Vestibular Rehab exercises every day but have seen no change yet. I looked online for different exercises but all that came up was referrals to physical therapists. Does anyone know if there is a book that spells out different exercises for vesticular rehab or proprioception? Joyce, you should write one! If anyone has any ideas for me, I'd appreciate it. Thanks....Judy
