    Hi Charleg, 

    you will recover from this. i too have Vestibular Neuritis, currently on week 6. i have had good days and bad days, it can be extremly discouraging because we never know when it will end. what you need to start doing is start a diary, that has helped me so i can look back and realise i ahve had more good days than bad in certain weeks which means improvment usuall but unfortuantly yes i am still struggling but we need to try stay positive.

    Hvae you noticed any particular triggers that can make your symtoms worse? try re introduce small amounts of things back into your lifestyle . usually get symtpms get a little worse around our cycle. have you noticed tihs?

      Oh right sorry! I thought i saw 'female' somewhere hahaha my mistake! smile

      Do vrt exercises they will help and try exercise like walking when you can. As for the other time you need to rest and your body needs to fight vn if it came from a viral infection.
