I Can Relate
-tested positive for inner ear issues?
-have insights into what this means for airplane travel (6 hour flight?)
-are undergoing vestibular therapy for this?
-any other questions I should ask?
I have BPPV but not vision problems that I needed prisms.I would not recommend travel and have a happy trip.Or you could try to travel and get acupuncture as soon as you get to destination would help motion sickness.I would ask if there is a medication best for motion sickness.I went to the Caribbean at 9month's and was manageable because I got a massage every other day and did nothing but sit on the beach.The trip back was the WORST I thought I had malaria lol!But it depends direction of flight, time change etc.
Like Mokey said it is very beneficial to get a therapist that is certified in vestibular therapy or else one without could mess you up!I been there but now have a TBI vestibular specialist.
The time varies in each person there is not a one size fits all.Wish you the best and hope you find a good therapist that is certified to put on your team.
