Dr Damien, yes lots of gait problems for the past 8 years , cos when I walk I vere to one side and its difficult to stay straight,
the hospital physio noted I have a very poor gait and I am unsteady all of the time ...
its something I struggle with so much, every hour of the day,
and I cry about it alot - because I dont understand myself and get frustrated.

When I turn my head to the left or right , all of a sudden I feel like I have been shot in the head and I feel stunned ,
My world goes very strange , a strong woozy feeling comes over me - through my head, and my vision alters to a blurred state ,
and at exactly the same time I feel the life drain out of me and I feel extreamly weak and struggle to stay upright.

But one thing I am certain of is ...
It is ALWAYS the head movement that makes this happen.

I have been checked for Bppv over and over again - which is always negative .

I am waiting for my orthopeadic appointment to come through , and wonder will they know about VBI ?

Could someone pls explain what this VBI is in simple terms, cos I tried to look it up and couldnt understand it.

Thank you for listening , I cant tell you how gateful I am.



I went to a chiropractor 6 weeks ago , they said that my pupils were very slow reacting to light
and this was when I was having a bad time.

I sometimes feel a tremor in my head , but it does not show.

A few days ago I laughed and lifted my head up at the same time, and straight away fell to the floor with another episode.
