Usually brought on by too much head movement or physical movement or too much loud noise. Also worse when I lay down and close my eyes (which is why i have insomnia).

They don't think it's labyrinthitis because it usually goes away within a month if it's that.

I am going to ask my chiro and neurologist if they think it my be cervical vertigo. As the MRI did find a disk bulge in my cervical spine.
I have no idea what it is. If it's this Nystagmus, then I'm sure the eye specialists will figure that out while I'm in therapy.

The dizziness I've experienced has gotten better and better over time. Recently, I've had full days where I haven't been dizzy at all, so that gives me a lot of hope that whatever is causing it is healing. Then it will come back a little and I think that the vision therapy might help it.

All I can do, is try to look a the big picture and recognize that every problem I have because of this brain injury is still getting better.

They did prescribe me some antivert meds, which work, but they make me so lethargic that I only use them in the most extreme of times. I hope you find some answers!
I started out getting 'pushed-to-the-right' type dizzyness/unsteadyness at first but it has changed into a 'dropping elevator' type of dizzyness, usually in the evening for some reason.

The problem with me is that I'm trying to figure out if my brain injury is causing the dizziness or my neck issue. The neuro seemed to disregard the neck issue as many ppl have disk bulge without symptoms.

I'm going to see my chiro and he'll have a look at the MRI as he sees disk bulges frequently. He can give me kinda second opinion. At the same time he can crack my lower back but not touching my neck.

I'm now researching Cervicle Vergito as a lot of my symptoms match.

I get the "slanted floor" dizziness. It was very hard to describe, even my wife looked at me strangely when I tried to describe it. Stripes have gotten better, but I still have occasional days where they trigger dizziness. Nuerologist put me on Antivert, and it helped for the first week or two, but hasn't touched the last couple of bouts. Luckily, it's not an everyday thing, maybe every 4 or 5 days that I get hit with it.

I have antivert but neuro says try not to use it only in acute situations. My PT says the same thing. I'm not spinning vertigo but just unsteady. And only certain situations where I feel the floor is slanted. Like when I walk down the hallway in my house and it's darker there. Then I thought maybe it's the darkness but no, I can walk fine in the dark, doesn't get any worse.

One thing I do find it that if I get a good night sleep (rare) then it's not as bad in the morning.

I have the same weird dizziness. This is my symtoms:
  • Slanted Vision - this is constant, the only time it goes away is when I'm in a bus or car and I can feel it as well, like one foot is height up than the other when I put one foot infront of the other
  • Unawarness of my height
  • Unawarness of the size of objects
  • Lighthead type dizziness
  • Feeling of deafness in right ear
  • Sensive hearing

What I don't have:
  • Vetigo
  • Tiness
  • Naursea
  • Voimting

My feeling of deafness started when I was in the car listening to the radio. My slanted vision/sensation started when I was walking up outdoor stairs.

All medical test I have had have came back "normal", expect VEMP which I have yet to get results for and every doctor I have seen has said "I've never seen anything like this before".
