Ok. You are an expert in this dizziness. Not something we want to be but forced to. My dizziness unstable feeling happens again in certain spots even in my apartment. I am not like you gymnast or anything but when I did salsa dancing I can make a full turn pretty fast and never losing balance and people used to tell me I can turn pretty fast.

Now when I extend my arms and make a full turn (as per my Neurologist exercise) after 2nd turn I feel like I am going to fall down. My stomach used to strong even after my TBI but the past 2 years it got worse. I think that happened because of all crappy meds I tried. When I quit Elavil I suffered a great deal.

For me certain sounds and not well-lit rooms cause dizziness. May be I have both PF and neck issues. Who knows? Now I am going after pain and see how it works.

I saw a new spine doctor (nice doctor - not chiro or anythng but MD) so new set of treatments begins. I will be getting a cervical collar and see how it works for all this. Next is prolotherapy, epidural and botox may be. If it addresses both pain and dizziness I will be a very lucky giuy. I wish.

Got some Tramadol and I may try it. It is not a narcotic and acts like it ? Not sure any medicines helps for you?

You are the dizzy guru and handling it good. Thanks for all the detailed explanation.
