Hi everyone. I have just been to the specialist to see why I keep getting dizzy. He thinks I have benign positional vertigo, but I need a balance test next
week to confirm this. He is also concerned about my hearing loss, which is not a symptom of the vertigo. So I have to get an MRI scan done, which has a 6 week
waiting period. But after the test next week he is hopeful that with set balance exercises, my dizzy spells will be gone. Hooray! The only thing is he suggests
that I have only a light breakfast, and that I will be very sick after the balance test. Really not looking forward to that, but if it gets rid of the vertigo,
I will be happy. My hearing loss I can cope with, and at this stage he doesn't think I will need hearing aids, but he will know more after the scan. So
good news. I can't wait to be better.

I've got an appointment too. I don't know what he is going to do with me as my depression is back big time and the problems just keep coming in truck
loads.
I really hope you get on alright Cat and that he can soon get you back on the straight and narrow. |

Rita, hope you are ok. I'm lucky in that whenever I have fallen down, I haven't hurt myself. My doctor suggested I take ginger to help my vertigo. It
has helped a bit, although everytime I take a ginger tablet I gag as I can't stand the taste of ginger. If anyone else is suffering vertigo, I would
suggest you try it. Thanks for everyone's well wishes.
