Hi. Thank you so much for the reply. Today is one week since surgery and no vertigo improvement yet. The PA told me it could take a month or so for the nerve to heal if the nodule was pressing on one. I've had some upper cervical issues that I've been addressing as well. Also wondering if anyone experienced ear congestion and fullness as a result of a thyroid nodule. Have had a bunch of weird symptoms. Thank you again.

My apologies I haven’t been keeping up with this blog. I’m 14 months post surgery and the vertigo has subsided to some extent, specifically I no longer experience it when I turn to or lay on my right. It’s now very random and unpredictable but generally exacerbated with prolonged computer use or any type of screen time. I’ve had all kinds of neurological testing, physical therapy and balance therapy over the past year and a half so pre surgery to post surgery but no definitive diagnosis and all I am able to do is mitigate the risk by avoiding or limiting certain actions. Coincidentally thyroid hormone replacement (I am on levothyroxine) does have a possible side effect of vertigo. I also have other conditions that could cause these complications such as diabetes, although more controlled over the past 2 months, and most recently rheumatoid arthritis which does have some possible vertigo specific to polyarthritis in the knees or feet, so the etiology of my vertigo remains a mystery. What I have found more often than not is that most providers dismiss it as coincidental or benign so rather that continue to be prodded and pay numerous copays I’ve given up and just done my best to manage day by day.
