Update 2020

Hi Guys

It's been a while since I last posted. A quick update about what is going on with me and my vertigo/dizziness. I had a coupe of appointments last year to see a neuro ophthalmologist. The reason? to find out if my now abnormal eye movements (nystagmus etc) are the reason for my ongoing chronic dizziness and vertigo or is it an underlying vestibular disorder that is causing my strange eye movements. 

The conclusion? My neuro ophthalmologist thinks it's an underlying vestibular disorder causing the nystagmus and not an eye movement problem causing my symptoms. I have often thought that whatever happened that morning in 2007 when I woke up spinning did something to my eyes. They have always felt off everyday since. I figured after all this time maybe the vestibular problem had cleared and I was perhaps left with an ocular motility issue which is now causing my dizziness tec. Well, apparently not. 

The ophthalmologist thinks I had an inner problem all those years back which has left me this way. I don't doubt him. I mean something went terribly wrong that is for sure. To this day I don't know really what happened though as I have heard inner ear and migraine and this and that over the years. 

So there you have it. No more eye doctor visits for me.

Oh, and I turned 40 this past New years day. I can't believe it, ha. Bloody 40.
