Why wear a ribbon?

MDJunction to me

"All I can say is that this has been the best place ever. It has been six to seven months since I joined, and I have learned so much. I now believe in myself and accept myself on a completely different level. The people on MDJunction has been so supportive and accepting that I have been able to adopt it into my personal life. That has reduced a lot of stress in my life. Thanks to all." (bunny_fly)

My ex has Vertigo which comes and goes and I am helping him while he has it and he also has SMA (spinal muscular atrophy). He has has an MRI and they did not find anything to remark about. His neurologist said he should move his head in the direction that causes the vertigo several times repeatedly to cause the sensation to happen repeatedly (obviously in a safe place) until it does not happen or until he counts 20 times, whichever comes first............This is supposed to help balance whatever fluids are out of balance in the ventricles of the brain. Does this sound familiar to anyone or can anyone elaborate? I did not go with him to the drs appt, so I am going on second hand information and we all know what happens when you play the telephone game right?

Thanks!

Hugs,

Jenna
