An update on my vertigo and dizziness.
Since it’s been over two years since I last posted, I figured I’d take a bit of time and update everyone on where things are at with me. I’ve got some more information on what’s been going on with my balance, but it’s more that I’ve narrowed it down rather than really heard a definitive diagnosis.
About a year ago, I had another round of vestibular testing — including VEMP (vestibular evoked myogenic potential) testing, hearing testing and caloric testing (where they flush hot and cold water in your ears). Guess what? All the vestibular tests came back completely normal — for the second time.
So this has lead me and the doctors I’ve been seeing to conclude that the problem may in fact be neurological — which would completely explain the lack of success I’ve had in the past with vestibular treatments. I had an MRI in the past, and it had also come up normal; so now instead I’ve got an MRA (magnetic resonance angiogram) scheduled.
