Went to my first physical therapy appointment today at House Ear, with Theresa England, prescribed by Dr. Derebery. She is the FIRST physical therapist I have ever seen who deeply understands Menieres issues. She did not prescribe weird exercised with an inflated ball, intense physical activity, anything like that. But she did very carefully observe how I walked, what happened when I stood in a corner and closed my eyes, and her questionnaire was extensive, focused, and by far the best I have ever seen in zeroing in on the very specific problems we Menieres folks face. She gave me only two exercised to do, and they are totally focused on balance and vestibular function, require no exertions likely to exacerbate my symptoms, and offer some real promise.

I am beginning to feel like an idiot that I did not go to House Ear when this monster first struck me. Instead, I went to my alma mater's Medical Center, reputedly the best in the Western U.S. It does not hold a candle to House Ear where Menieres is concerned. Live, or be the living dead, and learn, I guess.

Can you share the home exercises for balance you got at the clinic? I have some that I got from a balance clinic here in the midwest, but would be interested in what the one at the clinic prescribed. Something I can do at home. Thanks

Yank, I found this site to be helpful for vestibular home exercises:
