Wish I could bring you all here. I'd found the excercises on the internet, as well.
After my primary and ENT had tried all their tricks,
they sent me to a PT with a PHD in Vestibular Rehab.
First she checked to see if the prob was "chrystals",
then deciding that my prob was damage to one ear, we
started the excercises. The main idea is to bring
yourself to the point of dizziness each time, then to
rest. The objective is to get the other ear to take over for the one that's flawed. SO, it only works
if that's the correct diagnosis.
In any case, I also do "agressive" TaiChi twice a week. There are times that it brings on dizziness, as well, but I've learned which positions are most likely to set it off, and rather than avoid them, now I push it, then
rest. The master knows what's happening and has sort
of become a partner in thinking up new things for our
group to do that challenge all of us, and my inner ear
particularly!
The diagnosis is key. I have a friend who had the
"misplaced chrystal" prob. He was sorta "smacked"
abrubtly in the head, then put in a neck brace. He's
feeling much better.
A friend's mother, a stroke surviver, would have
overwhelming, sudden attacks of dizziness and violent
nausea...she is now on Valium, and hasn't felt this
good in years.
So,diagnosis is everything. What damaged my left ear isn't' important at this time, what's important is
that knowing it IS damaged , we're working to have
the good one take over.
Don't give up!
