Hi tee time,

So I went and saw the neuro physio yesterday. It was also a really bad day. Had to have my mum take me in, ear plugs in to drown out the noise, sunglasses on to avoid the bright lights, I find hospitals as unbearable as walking into a supermarket. Couldn't walk unaided as I was walking as if I was drunk and had the severe nausea.
So I tell the lady my story and how I've had every test done, MRI, balance, hearing, caloric etc. then she asks me my symptoms and which side I tend to lean to. This is where she found it really odd. Because I was diagnosed with vestibular neuritis with 53% permanent damage to left inner ear but all my behaviour patterns were determining that it should be my right. Really strange.
At this point I am on the verge of being sick as the nausea is really bad.
She puts me on the bed and did the Epley maneuver for my right ear and apparently my eyes were flickering extremely which she determined to be BPPV in my right ear. So she finishes and I sit up feeling worse than before. I take a seat and gradually I'm starting to feel better. I was in a state of shock. So she gives me instructions for when I go home. I've followed them exactly and have woken this morning feeling very different. Everything looks different, I have no nausea, I don't have the ill feeling I have had for 6 months. I seriously hope that this is it.
So my diagnosis is that I have had two separate issues going on in two different ears. BPPV in the right ear and vestibular neuritis in the left ear.
She said she had never seen this before and found it quite strange.
I just need to watch myself over the next few days because she is hoping that she didn't disturb the left ear.
So basically, my brain has been getting so many mixed messages.

Thank you for checking up on me and I will definitely give an update in a few days. Fingers crossed.
I hope you are having a good day today. Keep up the walks. Fresh air always does wonders for us.
