My primary at the time would not make a referral because they thought I had nothing else better to do than make up symptoms. Awesome. I finally saw a neurologist several months later and she tested my eye tracking, found the issue, and made the referral to the ENT immediately. I also have pain on the left side of my face - cheek, around my eye, behind my eye and my eyes burns too. So we definitely have some symptom overlap.

I went through all the ENT work-up and it was pretty disappointing - hearing test, rotary chair, and VNG testing. The problem was I got tested a year after having this issue. Your eyes make compensations that make it more difficult for them to diagnose the problem. I was eventually diagnosed with a central vestibular disorder. I don't think this is correct...I think it's in my peripheral. The testing isn't really that precise in my opinion. The ENT's solution to the problem is usually vestibular rehab and maybe some type of drug. If your issues are autonomic and/or sfn related, then it's going to be really hard to stop that vertigo...and you really have to get to the root cause. Ugh. This is why I'm going to skip the vestibular rehab because it probably not going to help in my case.

It's tough because the Neuro points to the ENT and the ENT points to the Neuro. I'm sorry you are dealing with this and I completely understand how frustrating it is.
