Hmm, I don't know what a cpap is. Could you tell me?
I have decided to go to UCSF and get more refined tests as to the peripheral and central vestibular issues. Knowledge is power. I want to be able to name "it" -- and I want to understand better if it is the vestibular nerve, the inner ear, a tear, a liquid balance issue, etc. Mokey, I think you are right. The more information I have on what is damaged and why, the more targeted and specific the vestibular therapy can be. Let me know what tests you are getting! Frozen eyeballs! It's a beautiful day here- I hope you are all doing well!
