yeah you're right i have been feeling a bit more cheery of late, although i seem to have bad mood swings which i never used to, its just that i dont really feel like posting when im feeling low.. i think it may well be to do with my neck actually, because when i turn my head the rushing in my ears increases as well as the visual disturbances. Im wondering also, just how much of all this is psychological. I mean i know there are physical symptoms, but for me anyway i dont notice much anymore when im in social situations or if im busy with something. I suppose thats because im getting better but even in the beginning i found that a positive outlook made a massive difference to how i felt.... makes me wonder if anyone actually gets better or if we just adjust? anyway, i hope you feel better too. Just out of interest are you still riding?
