Thanks for that, Omniplasm.

After seeing my GP, two ENT'S and two Neurologists the most popular opinion is that I have Vestibular Neuritis, briefly, I have a feeling of falling, always to the right, sensation of fullness in my ears with clicking when swallowing, alternating from one ear to the other.

But, no Nausea, no hearing loss.



Have had a Sinus Cat scan, Mri of the brain, hearing tests etc.. all negative.

This all started after a very mild sinus infection and has been ongoing for 3 months.



Today I had a Mri taken of the inner ear, hoping that will show something as I have had some ear pain as well lately.

After reading your linked article, I am going to try to persuade my ENT tomorrow to try a 3 week course of Methylprednisolone starting at 100 mg, tapering down to 10mg.



They have ruled out BBPV, my next stop is a Neuro otologist.

As you said, the only constant is the lack of knowledge on this disorder.



Very frustrating and discouraging

Any other suggestions would be welcome. Thanks again.
