Vestibular Neuritis..

I have mentioned my problems with this a couple of times on this forum but thought I would broach the subject again to see if I can elicit any new ideas.

Have been suffering from the symptoms of this on and off since the end of April this year, since then I have been unable to fly and am now on my Airlines disabled list.

I went through extensive and exhaustive testing by GP'S, ENT'S, Neurologists and Neurotologists, all negative, so VN is their diagnosis by elimination.

My symptoms are most pronounced when standing, a feeling of swaying and unsteadiness similar to being on a rolling ship in a heavy sea with a bias towards 'falling off to the right'

I also have occasional pain only in my left ear which does not seem to follow with my sensation of 'falling to the right' as I have read you will normally 'fall'
towards your 'bad' ear


ANY ideas suggestions, very welcome.
