I don't know about this explanation as the imbalance has not yet improved, and I'm growing more and more tired and frustrated with walking around like a drunken sailor and not being able to drive. I did mention the imbalance again to my Rheumy yesterday, and she said perhaps its not my ears that's causing the imbalance but a problem in the cerebellum. She's going to discuss this with my ENT and see about doing a CT scan or MRI and other tests. I hope to find out more from her very soon.

Jan, you should see a chiropractor who does craniosacral work. Where are you in AZ? My old stomping grounds-- I got connections to amazing docs out there.

Sangye, I'm in Glendale. I would love any referrals, as I've been contemplating the idea of going to a chiropractor. I've also been receiving acupuncture treatments to help with the hearing loss, but so far nothing in my left ear. One doctor told me it probably wouldn't return, but I have to remain positive that one day it will.

Oh, you lucky dog. You can go see my chiropractor there-- one of the best I've ever known.

Dr Mark Force

He's in Scottsdale, a dear friend. I've known him for about 10 years-- long before I got Wegs. He knows how to work with Wegs. because he was with me through the pre-dx days (when we had no idea what it was) through all the treatments and complications of the first 2.5 years. He still helps me long-distance. You'd be in completely safe hands there. I miss him so much I can't think of him without crying. He once drove up to Flagstaff at 4 in the morning (with late night notice) to keep me alive-- literally. I hope you'll give him a call. You won't believe the difference it can make.

I was having some muscle stiffness in my back the last few days but has now gone away. I was wondering if it would be worth while to regularly see a chiropractor? I think there are 4 in town here.

Nothing else corrects what chiropractic does. I would never be without a chiropractor. That was true long before I became one, too.

I also think people should receive acupuncture regularly, since nothing else corrects those imbalances, either. I just haven't been able to find one out here who can handle my case.

Thanks Sangye, I think I will make some calls tomorrow to see a chiropractor, acupuncturist, massage therapist, and naturopathic doctor.

Thanks Sangye! I will definitely give him a call.

I have always had to adjust the pressure... and the left ear was messed up when I was up in the air just prior to the diagnosis. It has been a year and a half, and I still hear the ringing (kinda like after when someone slaps you under the ear), and there is no sign of it resolving... Well that is the new normal for me. I hope it gets better for you drz...
