Oh so sick of this!

So, I am still dealing with my balance problem although on a much smaller and more mild scale but don't you think it has been long enough already. At one point it went away about 2 months ago and I went to PT(for my last visit) and it came back. I have lost a lot of faith in doctors after many scans, specialists, and etc. and have not pursued more tests or exams because noone knows what is wrong with me and for the most part my symptoms are generally so mild that I can function pretty well but not optimally. I want to be more active ie go for a bike ride etc etc not just be able to function but at least I can function well. So I am considering seeing a new doc and giving him/her all my test results and just venting my frustration that even though my symptoms are mild, I want them to go away. Anyway, just needed to vent a little. My neck and back of my head are hurting today and I'm grumpy. Sorry everyone.

Don't feel bad nikki!! I can only imagine what it feels like. I know when I was having my back and neck issues I was so worried I would be like that the rest of my life. I could deal with it. I could function, but like you said not well. It sucks. I think going to a new set of doctors is a good idea. Maybe a fresh start might help them find something. Good luck! I'll pray for you, seriously.

Nikki - I had this same problem about 3 months ago for 2 months. I finally went to an ENT and had a balance test performed, and a procedure where your head is laid back and then slowly turned by the doctor or technician. I went to the Intermountain Ear Nose & Throat on 9th and off South Temple and saw a doc who did this. It took 2 visits, and about a week after the second visit I finally had relief.

Cindy Warren also suffers from Verigo and it is tough when it hits. Sorry you are going thru this.
