Default vertigo... just started happening a few weeks ago
after a year...now I start getting vertigo? I was only experiencing it when laying down when I turn to the left. Now just had it sitting at the computer. What is going on?? Is it a neck thing??

It may have to do with your eyes or inner ear... What has your doctor said?

I've started to deal with it as well 7 months after my accident. It only happens to me when I'm stationary. I feel like I'm always moving and I hate it.

why the eyes? I've heard ears -- and that might be likely since dentist is realigning my lower jaw...could effect ear i'm sure -- but haven't heard it can be the eyes ...how?

any suggestions what to do?

It could have to do with how your eyes are focusing since your TBI. Are your pupils different sizes? Do you have double vision? I'm no doctor - just searching for a way to calm your nerves.

I have the same issue with vertigo. It started years ago, on a very hit and miss basis, but lately dizziness has been my constant companion. There are days when I'm so dizzy I can't sit up. It will get better though.

no real "problems" with my eyes...other than more pain around them now.

I am dealing with this splint (orthotic..mouthpiece whatever its called) for my tmj which chiropractor seems to think is part of my issues

my neck is killing me --top of head, cheekbones, jaw, ...let's face it every part of my head. I'm assuming its the new appliance for my teeth...(actually hoping so that its not from stimulation). I'm in so much pain....and the offbalance/ vertigo is worse than ever!
