Vertigo - ongoing

The doctor is referring me to the ENT people.

We both have one concern. It's very likely that there is some inflammation in the inner ear - that's the root cause of a lot of balance problems.

However, the normal, straightforward treatment is anti-inflammatories. Generally a steroid nasal spray.

I can't take inhaled steroids - that's always been the curse of my asthma. (Inhaled steroids make me lose my voice -and we're not just talking about a short term loss. The damage can last for months/years.)

So, if the problem is inflammation, I'm not sure what treatment options will be open to me.
