Diagnosis:BPPV and inner ear weakness
What helps you deal with your symptoms: VRTs, running, biking, walking. My friends that stood by me during this horrific ordeal. I could say I am 99-100% with a few blips here and there throughout the day. Mainly small vision issues left. It took along time and alot of work to get here, but it was sure worth it.
