Vertigo verdict
Aug. 19th, 2009 05:58 pmSadly, the results of the MRI scan didn't show anything. My ear/auditory nerve/brain are all fine (which is good if you look at it one way). However, it also means that I'm among the fairly large percentage of people who suffer from vertigo with no definite cause.
I can tell you what will trigger it with a fair degree of accuracy (and what will not) - I can generally minimise it if I stay away from the computer long enough and stay outdoors a fair bit of the time. What I can't do, is to find an underlying cause that can be treated medically.
A lot of cases of vertigo vanish as mysteriously as they came - I'll just have to hope that mine is among them. I don't think it's as bad as it was a few months ago (I rarely get nausea now), but using the computer seems to trigger it as easily as ever (I'm feeling dizzy even as I type this).
Hopefully it will fade over time.
Fingers crossed.
