[AT] Vertigo

Mon Jan 4 10:14:11 PST 2010

Charlie,

I think the close overhead reaction is relative to an accident I had a few years ago and probably
more of a nervous reaction than a physical one. I think it just agitates and complements the inner
ear thing to where it becomes overbearing.  I've had quite a bit of testing done for this Vertigo
problem and have had an enormous amount of tests done very recently due to a bout of Pneumonia and
Septic shock, spending 4 days in an ICU, that there just about isn't any test that hasn't been run
on me in the last 6 months. I will ask my eye doctor about it the next time I go in but I'm pretty
sure my vertigo comes primarily from an inner ear issue. Thanks for the suggestion though. Never
hurts to check.

Dean, when say the actual rolling around motion doesn't bother you unless 
there is something relatively close overhead.  That tells me your problem is 
vision related.  Perhaps your eye doctor can help you with it?

Just a thought
