Hi all! ! i have been suffering from recurrent episodic vertigo for about two years now. MRI was normal and don't have BPPV (had an ENG done and that was ruled out). During the ENG it was discovered that I have bilateral vestibular hypofunction. I still get vertigo episodes every 4-6 weeks and my gaze stability is terrible. I cannot really make out anything very clearly while walking or moving. Does anyone have any experience with this? Did the vertigo ever stop?? And what helped you? Thank you!

    I had something similar. I found a physical therapist who taught me Vestibular eye exercises, which eventually cleared it up. It works. Hope this helps.

      I'm having similar symptoms and am working with a PT but it's not helping. Susan19327, can you eleberate on your PT exercises? And how long is "eventually"?

      Are you doing eye exercises? They helped me. I wasn't immediate, but it worked pretty quickly. I was told if I have a set back to do the exercises again. I have, and they did work.
