Thanks so much for your comment. I think I was starting to stress myself out more than I should be about the caloric testing -- thinking that it was going to bring on some serious vertigo. I still have lots of problems with my eyes too... my optometrist and ENT had sent me for some peripheral vision tests a while back because I was especially having difficulty with seeing things out of the corner of my eye. They looked really bent and weird and I was unable to focus on them. It sounds like you're definitely making some solid improvements though... glad to hear it! Great to hear!

Its really not bad the first ear he did i thought 'mmm that feels odd' then the next one 'jesus the rooms spinning wildly'! He said 'thats how a good ear should react, your damaged ear is performing about 50% and will NEVER get better'. As it turns out your brain compensates eventually, I am in month 8 now, and my eyes are giving me the most trouble. But symptoms change with this and I read the eyes are the last to get better. BTW Wii Fit is excellent I live in the UK and got mine a month ago. I had the caloric test, best thing that happened in my opinion because it confirmed the condition.
