Hi Terri


...."It's amazing how the head works, isn't it?".....


Yep it is---with this problem---at times---it seems to be your worst enemy---but in reality---with this problem---it is your best friend!!!


....."I just hate feeling 98% and then going to a new space and wondering if I'm the only one feeling like there's a minor earthquake going on!!"....

Know exactly what you mean---would be at 98/99%---go some where new---Bingo!!---while that feeling receded slowly---it was the last thing to completely disappear---about the 13th month---but not much a problem---if I remember correctly---about 12th month---then when it would happen---I just said(to myself)---come on you know what is "going down here" focus & concentrate on what is going on around you----that worked for me---think it---focused and increased the processing power directed---to that cognitive effort.


...."if I wait to travel"....


Again, know what you mean---what we did was take short---two/three day trips(air/car, etc...) through out the whole time---figured---I just give the old brain---some new stuff to compensate on---all in all it worked out fairly well---for me----love to travel!!!!!


...."2-1/2 weeks of normalcy"...."for seemingly no reason I'm feeling it again,".....


Yep---good period---brain fine tuning/locking in what it learned----bad period----brain working on on new stuff----to learn/relearn and lock in---followed by good---followed by bad....etc...then "history".


..."Is it really true that once you start getting good stretches like that, they just keep coming, getting longer and longer?".....


Oh---absolutely---that is exactly what happens---and exactly the way it happens-----with a good period of 2 and half weeks---your nearing the end---which makes sense----to me---think it was about 12th month---that---the good periods---far exceed the bad.


For me it is now the beginning of the 15th month---and while I am still checking the "rear view mirror" I think I left it in the "dust"---as----(except for a very few)-----we all do---but----because of the potential with this---to cause so much "stress"


---(while this vestibular problem is benign--stress is not)


----I would have hated to go through this---without acquiring the in depth knowledge of what the heck was happening and why to me---cause the medical profession sure were not talking!!


I felt it---this knowledge--- was the ONLY thing that gave me a edge in getting the correct treatment, articulating my symptoms correctly to the medical types, assessing their answers as to their accuracy and to finely beat it!!!
