The dentist

Hi Guys

The last week and half or so have been pretty poor head and balance wise. Constant head pressure and increased motion intolerance (all the usual stuff). I have actually just come back from my dentist appointment which proved to be a fairly uncomfortable experience having had to lay backwards two or three times whilst I had a clean and filling. It ain't fun watching the swirling ceiling up above.  I was in a disorientated daze when trying to sit upright again and again to swill my mouth out. Oh, and what fun I had walking out of the building through it's swaying corridor. I had to take a few minutes outside to compose myself. I did ask my dentist about TMJ and how it may cause vertigo. The conversation didn't go very far as all he had to say on the subject was that he has heard of it but it's very rare (a lot of help that was). I felt like saying having bloody chronic vertigo for over seven years is rare but I have it.

Anyway once I had gained composure I decided I would walk through town and finally take a visit to my local Specsavers to ask them if they test for  a specific eye condition that can cause dizziness and balance issues known as vertical heterophoria ( I have mentioned this condition in a previous post RIGHT HERE. I was pleasantly surprised when they said they can test for vertical heterophoria. Imagine if a simple pair of glasses could fix this never ending vertigo of mine. We shall see.
