vertigo for 2 years-help!

Hi there,

I must say that my story is a frustrating one. I have had vertigo for two years, and so far no one can help me. doctors can’t seem to take the time,(they would if it were them spinning for two years, i can tell you!)

i have had every test, all clear, except i still have excess mucous, fullness, popping, itching and intermmittant pain in my ear. my doctor explained that every one has lots of mucous, and said nothing else. can you imagine? i stay away from allergy causinfg foods that i know i am sensitive to. i also get migraines and a bad taste in my mouth.

anyone out there know anything that may help?

i am off work now for a year and a half and also can’t drive now due to the vertigo

i have to go for rehab for my equilibrium, but still feel like my ear is not right and they aren’t (no pun intended), hearing me.
