I noticed pretty much no difference using the device, and actually found it was just kind of a pain to use. Of course, my results are subjective, and results (in terms of any treatment) can vary greatly from person to person. I've went the medication route, and I've been trying a bunch of different meds, none of which really seem to have much effect. It's been pretty difficult to deal with lately, since I've tried so many things and nothing has really helped. I've had more testing done, and I'm still waiting to hear back on the results of those tests, but I'm not sure where to go from here. I'm not really familiar with your condition... could you describe what sorts of symptoms you feel (i.e. is it a falling feeling or rocking or swaying?). To be blunt Greg, it wasn’t working at all.

And it's hard for me to stand there with my eyes closed for 20 minutes (as I don't exactly have the greatest attention span in the world). :P It certainly is awkward.
