Dizziness/visual problems/ENG/Posturography

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I haven't been here much lately. My eyes have been driving me nuts.

Remember awhile back when everyone was posting about the visual stuff

that was giving them such a hard time? Well I finally found out what

the problem was with mine. An ENT said that I needed to get an ENG

and posturography because my dizziness, ringing in ears, etc... was

not coming from inner ear problems. I had to look for a long time to

find a place where I could get the tests done. But at least now I

have an answer. Because of the ACM I am having nystagmus, and even

when I have my eyes closed my brain thinks I am turning. I haven't

been able to do anything for quite awhile because my balance was so

bad. Apparently thought you can get physical therapy to retrain

your brain not to listen to the optical input etc... and just to

concentrate on where your feet are. It may take a year or two, but

that is better news than what everyone else was saying. I got really

tired of hearing that I just needed to give it more time, or having

them not believe me at all. So for all of you who are having a hard

time with your eyes or balance maybe this might help. Hope everyone

is having a decent day. God Bless.
