Balance
I'm having trouble with balance. My hearing doctor is sending me to physical therapy for it. Have any of you ever heard of or done balance therapy ?

Yes, I’ve had vestibular therapy for six weeks, and, in addition to the office exercises, I had a set of exercises to do at home the following six months. I didn’t notice much improvement. Then I dealt with dizziness side effects of more cardiac medicines (metoprolol, flecanide and Eloquis). Meanwhile, my balance eroded much further. This is the trajectory of NF2 as the tumors affect vestibular nerves. Consequently, to avoid falls, I do everything recommended by my physicians: Do seated yoga and exercises, use a rollator, get rid of area rugs, wear sensible shoes, etc.
