I hear you. This can be difficult and everyone handles it different. For me when I got to the point to appreciate the little things, than this disease lost a tiny bit of control. The days that my ear is full, I am exhausted, my ear is ringing but I don't have a full long vertigo attack, I say thank you. If I have a vertigo attack but it "only" last 2 hours, I say thanks. Basically I finally realized that I can feel horrible but yet not have a full vertigo attack - and I didn't want to spend my life not going anywhere/doing anything "in case". Sometimes it takes going back to remembering the worst of the days, to appreciate today. Like for you, there was a period of time that you couldn't work at all. A period that you didn't want to leave your house. Remember than and grab hold of how much "better" it is for you right now. i can't promise that it will help, but certainly can't hurt!
It does help to look at it that way. I'm am thankful to be able to drive most of the time. And as much as I don't really like my job, I am happy to be back at work and contributing to the household instead of draining it. I'm still taking it slowly at work, only doing two or at the most three dogs a day, little ones at that. Gradually building back up. I'm taking off the day at the end of the month to go to my doctor appt and hearing test. That is also my 21st anniversary so I'm looking forward to getting to do something fun with my husband. Thanks for the support!!
I had the 'shunt surgery' by my Neuro-ent in 2012! Since then 'no vertigo' but have (if you want to read my posts) been dealing with mild to not so mild head pressure/dizziness and now some balance issues. I'm 'so thankful' that the shunt surgery took away the vertigo because I can at least 'carry on' with life. Not the quality of life I hope will eventually return but 'life'! And now I am going to a very good Vestibular clinic at a good hospital not far from us--and found out I have BPV--on the right side, so that is what the therapist is having me work on--so hoping that will help with my balance issues and dizziness too. I do hope you get some help--we all hope you do! Continue investigating and pushing for help!
Yes that all sounds so familiar. Do you also have the sensation afterwards that your head is "flying" and not attached to your neck? I began to wonder if physio would help - however it also happens sometimes when I am looking at a computer screen ... Wish you luck when you make your decision....
