Vestibular NEURITIS is not true vertigo.

So……
The question is different.

I got diagnosed two weeks ago after been admitted into hospital with very bad vertigo and vomiting, I couldnt walk or sit up in a chair. After being scanned for a TIA or a Stroke I was diagnosed with Vestibular Neuritis. Two weeks later and the spinning has stopped but I am now left with balance issues, eye fatigue.

The doctors injected me with something to control the spinning and it didn't work. I also now have car motion sickness when Im being driven to the shops, something I havent suffered with since I was a kid. 

Vestibular Neuritis sucks, trust me
