    no worries at all the most important thing is you found a treatment that you are happy with and works for you, that's the best news of all!

    Just thought I would continue with the updates. Every day I feel more balanced and the fullness in the ear is lessening. The tinnitus comes and goes and is most likely related to diet.
    All in all, happy as can be so far.
    I have been going to the gym now and the exercise is helping.

    Update...I have a vertigo attack this morning. It was much less than before (usually have to be taken by ambulance to ER), but vertigo and vomiting for an hour. Actually just vomited once. So I will be getting second injection on April 1. I feel confident this will do the trick. ;)

    I have been feeling off since vertigo attack, but went to Upper Cervical chiropractor yesterday. My neck was really out. I feel like a new person today.

    Went back to the Dr. today for my next injection, but did not have to get it!!! :) My hearing has improved by 30%. I started to have a vertigo attack Monday morning but it went away in about 5 seconds. The doc feels that everything is successful and I will continue to improve. I am so happy I did the injection. I can tolerate more sodium now. My life is pretty much normal. And the improved hearing and no more aural fullness is wonderful.
    I check back in a year. If I do get vertigo he said to call, but I am hoping all will be good from here on out.

    Still doing well. Some days a little tiny bit off balance but for the most part I feel quite normal. I feel so relieved to not have that constant fear of vertigo
