    Hi Ronni. I'm a little late to the discussion but I want you to know that you are not alone. I  actually live a couple of hours southeast of Chicago. my issues started with an ear infection that wouldn't go away and turned out to be a cyst behind my eardrum. After surgery and physical therapy to help me relearn how to walk and balance, I am probably 70-80% recovered. I had to take Valium temporarily to help me get through a day. There is a DR. Hain on Michigan Ave who is a balance specialist and who has even arranged for vestibular patients to meet and talk. I haven't been but I heard great things from those who did. Hang in there and know we are here for you. This group provides hope and strength for problems others just can't begin to understand. I don't know how I would have made it without having this resource.

    Believe that it can happen. The first time I met with my physical therapist, I  cried tears of desperation and she hugged me and told me she was going to help me. Last week,  we cried tears of joy and she hugged me  due to how far I have come. I still have a ways to go but I am getting there. My life is forever changed and I have had to accept those changes and limitations, but at least I am living again.

      That's so right Mary we just need to understand what is going on and somehow with a lot of help and tears we seem to cope and sort of return to a life as not as we had once but it's not too bad !

      This has certainly been a life lesson in learning what we can handle. I thought I was strong and invincible in my previous life. Learning to admit limitations, asking for help, having to say no I can't...it's all been  long hard journey. And I know I won't emerge as the same person. But I guess that's just life. Once your normal changes, you have no choice but to redefine it and go on.
