WELCOME ... This website is dedicated to all of
those suffering with life altering vestibular disorders and to our loved ones whose
love, patience and understanding are instrumental in helping us survive this.
You
will come to see through reading our bios that vestibular disorders are equal
opportunity. They know no age or gender bias. Dizziness is one of the three
leading symptoms that bring individuals to their doctors each year. For most
the end result will be complete recovery but for a small percentage of others
like ourselves the journey of imbalance will become a long and frustrating one.
The individuals whose stories we share with you on this site are not new to
this illness and we are here to provide insight, support, understanding and
most of all hope.
We understand where you are in the beginning of your journey
because we have stood in your shoes. It is our hope to help you travel an
easier road than the one we took at the beginning of our illness. We have
by means of experience accumulated a great deal of information that we can
share with you in helping you find the right specialists in your area,
balance clinics and general information on the vestibular system. Use this
knowledge to empower yourself and to find treatments that may work for
you.
We hope that our stories will inspire you to not give up hope and
to reach out to those who completely understand how you feel and what
you are going through. Take comfort in knowing that all of us here have
had our lives altered immensely by this illness but we have also been
taught the greatest lessons in compassion and understanding that we may
have otherwise missed had this not happened. Much has changed in our live
s but the one constant is that we found one another so out of something
bad came something treasured.
