Feeling Dizzy?

Posted Sep 12 2008 8:56am

"Put you feet together, hold your arms at shoulder level, clasp you hands together and close your eyes". Those were the most hopeful, beautiful words I have heard in a long time! I was at the ENT (ear nose and throat doc) today. I was hoping and praying that my doctor would listen to me, really listen to me. She went over my symptoms and appeared to be concerned. The all too familiar phrase, " GREY AREA", came into the conversation as she told me that she wants to find some concrete evidence for my symptoms. As the appointment was winding to a close, she had me stand up to do some balance tests. I have done numerous balance tests over the past four months and nothing out of the ordinary has happened.
This time was different.
As soon as I closed my eyes, I fell backwards. I almost let out a 'wooo hoo!' right there in the office. FINALLY ~ proof that something is just not right in my head. I am filled with relief and a bit of trepidation as I wait expectantly for a battery of inner ear tests next month. Baby steps, the facts will be revealed, the truth is out there.
