Morning All;   My last major issue now is my Balance.  i have been told by physios and GP that it is more than not related to my Inner Ears and the "Crystals being mis-aligned" ???  however, after researching this condition in relation to Auto-Immune Conditions, it tells me that these conditions can affect the inner-ears and cause the Gel to solidify, causing the imbalance ??   have any of you had this problem, and if so, had any success in stabilizing the im-balance?

?I am asking this today, as I have an appointment tomorrow with a Specialist Physio who is going to see what she can do ????  I am Not holding out much hope.   I have trialled Natural Remedies for Vertigo etc, to no avail.

?My main concern re this problem, is my having "falls" which I have had a couple of bad ones over the past 6 months, an do Not want extra issues with broken hips/arms etc. (at least feel that I don't have Osteo-perosis as these falls would really have caused a fracture to hip and humerus)...  Any new ideas would be greatly appreciated.   Thankyou,     Bron

    This could have been written by me! The only difference being that nobody will diagnose me with anything left alone fibro.

    I have been 5 years living with pain after an road traffic accident. I have had MR Is devenofation to neck and so many different pain relief drugs that I thought I would rattle when I walk.

    Work is now sending me to see Occ health who thinks I should throw in the towel curl up and give up on my life and just accept that i haveca disability. No thanks.

    I am though interested in the aspect of dizziness. I fall over periodically for no apparent reason, some times I lose call perspective and am overcome with exhaustion, fatigue whatever you want to call it but still nobody wantsvto label it.

    I have not noticed before anyone complaining of the dizziness,anyone else having these issues and how do uou get diagnosed?
