Thank you @windyshores. I have the testing done next week. The PT called me yesterday afternoon and said in her experience, the dizziness is minimal, does not last long ,and does not trigger a Meniere's flare. I am currently experiencing BPPV in addition to the Meniere's. In terms of the Meniere's the only things that have helped me control it so far are decreasing caffeine and salt consumption, and taking a diuretic prescribed by my ENT. I do not drink alcohol which the ENT exacerbates symptoms for some people. I hope the vestibular exercises are helpful once we get to them. The BPPV exercises will be first after the testing. Thank you again. Communicating with others is helpful!

The exercises- both kinds- are empowering because you can do them yourself at home!

My friend went to a balance center. She not having vertigo but just sometimes her sense of place in space is off. They did all kinds of things.

I do tai chi for balance. Hope your testing is helpful!
