Thanks for posting. I did vestibular therapy on and off the last 2 years and the benefits started to taper off. My vest. therapist said the same thing to me.... that my remaining dizzy / off-balance feeling is probably a combo. of CSD / PPPD and neck issues.
I am going to try some other things before going on an SSRI just because I don't like being on medication. Going to try some vision therapy along with fixing my posture and trying to find someone that can give me an actual diagnoses for what is wrong with my neck (have seen chiros. and PTs, but none that have actually given a definitive diagnoses).
I should also mention that about a month ago I changed my diet to no gluten, no dairy, low carb (except for non-starch vegetables), and larger amounts of protein and healthy fats. Since then I have felt a significant change in my energy and dizziness for the better. It is not gone, but definitely better. I am going to stay at it for a while and see if it keeps going like this.
I am interested to hear about your neurologist and how treatment for you goes, neurologists I've seen so far have not been helpful - so keep it posted if you can. Thanks. When I read your signature and posts, it's amazing how similar our problems are.
