I have had vertigo for 8 years now. I have pretty much lived with it even though it really never seems to go away. I have always just put up with it. People think I am drunk when I don't even drink. I veer off to the side. Cant walk any straight line. Spinning, dizziness, and falling through the years. It has gotten considerably worse in these last 8 months. Have fallen a lot, 3 weeks ago I fell off the porch onto cement patio and wound up with staples in my head. They did a CT and all was ok. I cant get an apptmt with neurologist till March. I bad saw him 8 years ago but never completed the tests besides the ct.
