Figuring out my next move

Posted , 9 users are following.

Hello all,

I've been dealing with dizziness related symptoms for quite some time now. I've gone to an optometrist, ENT,l and a neurologist. I've also had an MRI, eeg, ekg, vng testing, and all replace the blood work done, all of which hav come back normal. Currently I live in buffalo ny, and I've seen every neurologist in my area, I've also traveled to the Cleveland clinic and saw dr. Cherian. All of which cannot find anything of particular interest to diagnose me with. I'm currently at a loss as to what my next move should be. I don't really know what other avenues to follow to try and figure this thing out. If anyone can lend some guidance I'd appreciate it, I'm willing to travel to anywhere in the continental U.S if someone thinks it may be beneficial. If anyone would like to know further details into my situation please feel free to look at my past posts, as it's far too much detail to post here lol

    I did find out some interesting information last week, of which I don't know if it has any bearing on my situation, but regardless, I went to the eye doctors and I found out my astigmatism correction on my glasses was entirely wrong for one eye and the dr thinks it's contributing to my situation. I don't know if it is or not, but he suggested vision therapy and a new prescription.

      Plz don't say you got them at Walmart. Buddy of mine did that. Couldn't figure out why they wasn't right. Went back a couple times. Still not right. Decided to go to a real optometrist. Took him 5 minutes to determine he had a tumor growing in his head. Was pressing on his optical nerve.

      No lol I have a real doctor.

      I've also had MRIs and MRAs to rule out tumours

      It's been interesting. I haven't worn contacts or glasses in two days and I haven't gotten dizzy what so ever, so I think I may be on to something

      Hi

      Hope you find out what is going on. I have been praying for all of us.  I am on another thread too. I also pray for them as well.  Maybe I will try not using my contacts as well.  Can not hurt.  I just went to the eye doctor and have new prescription.  It is a good place with good a good eye doctor.
