Ok so my last PT appt I had the cranisacral therapy kinda thing.....well when I went to sit up i was SOOOO LIGHTHEADED and off for quite a while. I have to go again today and now I think I am going to panick laying there because I know what is coming. Anyone ever have this therapy and does that feeling go away

I really don't understand why you are doing that therapy. Do you really think it is helping your vn?

because currently it is my only option. this was all he really knew how to do and the closest alternative is portland and that is almost 2 hours away and my husband cant miss more work than he is already doing. i feel crappy during the week since this started so hopefully that means it is working.....

D&S...I would get a 2nd opinion on your vn diagnosis in Portland, even if you have to take some time to do so. I am sure, with a docs approval you can get referred.
I have read nothing on how this therapy will help. I bet it won't hurt...but it doesn't do anything for compensation.
Are you still doing your vrts?
Also, when going to the neuro's you could double check mav...Prob. not that..but just ask questions. I think that would be much better time spent. That is just my opinion.

Hi D&S .... I have had the cranialsacral therapy as part of an accupuncture session ... and yes, I did feel a little wobbly afterwards. For me, it's similar to when I have gone to the chiropractor or had a massage ... it was like my muscles had to readjust after being relaxed or something. I agree with Charlotte though - I don't know that this will really help with your symptoms. It helped me in that it provided some form of relaxation, but didn't really do anything for the symptoms. Hope you find some relief soon : )

Yes D&S - please reconsider the migraine component as a possible culprit of your constant ills. I know you say it's not migraine - but has this been ruled out by a physician? Also, if I recall, you have recently had a child, no? You might also want to consider hormonal imbalance as a possible route to look into.
I think your initial diagnosis of Labyrinthitis should have been cleared up for you by now. :( Or at least improved a lot.
