Thank you, I appreciate the info. I am going to ask my primary about getting referred to iowa city as that is an easy drive for me. I am still walking over 20k steps a day and felt good enough this morning to even go for a run. It was a really good morning and early afternoon and I thought I may have turned the corner but then like a switch got flipped I started getting dizziness, nausea and vomiting this afternoon that has persisted through the evening. It is very frustrating and it makes it difficult to plan anything or go to work, much less enjoy life at the moment. Hopefully the good morning is a sign that things are improving though. I have to look at it with optimism. I do truly appreciate the feedback and input!

Hi Steve. Reading this account makes me think of when I was getting dizzy because of my spine issues. Do you have any cervical spine issues? I was wondering if you may be experiencing vertigo? I am a spine surgery patient and my C1 & C2 would independently rotate that would suddenly bring on the dizziness if I looked upward when my vertebrae were rotated. It sounds like you are ok for awhile while you are running. Are you getting neck pain or muscle spasms? That would be something you could ask your physical therapist about and if there is a specific back muscle that is spasming. Since my spine surgery, everything has stabilized so this doesn't happen anymore, but I actually fell over once when it hit hard. Your PT can feel your neck to see if it is aligned correctly.
