Airmaster, I too have suffered from dizziness since my last concussion Oct 30, 2009. I'm in Edmonton - so we're almost neighbours! LOL!

I'm so sick of waiting around, I really like my doc, but she isn't referring me anywhere. And the Neurologist I saw was a waste of time. On Tuesday I will be going for a Vestibular Assessment at Life Mark here in Edmonton. Monday I will be asking my doc for a "perscription" as I might be able to claim the cost through my health insurance under Physiotherapy.

Life Mark is in Calgary too. I'll let you know if this therapist "thinks" she can help me based on my assessment. I know I shouldn't get my hopes up, but their sky high right now. I figure I can live with the cognative issues, if only I could just feel better! So, here's hoping I have a seperate issue with my vestibular system that can be "fixed".

If you do see an ENT, I'd love to hear how it works out for you. By the way, my dizziness is not vertigo. Rooms don't spin, it's more like my eyes aren't working together and I feel like I'm spinning within my head. Yah, I know - that makes no sense... but that's how I describe it.

Wishing everyone a better day today and all of the tomorrows!
