Default Vestibular therapy this week

Doing vestibular therapy this week. Was told they would be doing the epley maneuver on me.

Im excited in hoping that it helps the vertigo. But at the same time nervous that it wont. Because what does that mean if it doesnt work?!

Anyways, im excited to give it a go! Think maybe itll help my migraines and cluster headaches?

Anyone have any personal experience with vestibular therapy?

they want me to do it seven years later. dizziness isn't a huge issue for me. lightheadedness is but that is something different. anyway, i'll wait till you do it an let us know if it is worth it
they said it would help my tinnitus and I've never heard or read that before.

Yes please let us know - I like Mark have been dealing with this since injury 3+yrs ago. Useless Neuro wouldnt order any test and therefore INS got away with not paying - now that i dont have very good ins or much money - new neuro want me to do vestibular trng after having a very expensive test (VNG) out of pocket they found issues with area between inner ear equlibrium and brain. problem is I can no longer afford to under go more test and therapy just because, unless I know I will actually be helped. My problem is balance, cant keep balance at all in dark or low light - not so much dizziness but I do get a light headedness when this happens in day light. ( I bang into door frames, loose footing when turning etc When I was going to PT they would have me try to balance on one leg with eyes open and closed but often they were with other patients and a few times I missed catching the handle bar and no one was near to catch me from falling and it was a joke. so once again the system and medical fails those of us in these situations. I feel extreme anger over this and this is making everything worse for me
