"my husband has COPD" (loriluann)

MDJunction to me

neshama48"Having Crohn's Disease for over 26 years, in the first few years, it lonely and isolating.
Though now my disease is in a near perfect remission, my friends and family are sympathetic to me, but I can not talk to them about this disease. When I stumbled across MD Junction, and met others who had the same disease I was not alone in battling the disease. MD Junction is like a second family, without the judgement or guilt of having Crohn's Disease, but they do give you love and support.

Yes, any number of things can cause episodic vertigo, could have been a minor ear infection, could have been a vision issue, or there could be no real cause other than you just got dizzy a couple of times.
We don't just embrace insanity here, we feel it up, french kiss it and buy it a drink.

I went from 2001 to 2010 between episodes without requiring maintanence medication. However, in the past 2 months I have had multiple episodes, losing 5 days of work with one episode.

actually it can be from either, or both. The eyes and ears are very closely tied together, the eyes rely on the ears to verify balance and position, when things are out of whack then our eyes don't know how to respond. Your brain struggles to balance everything out and sometimes that causes vision issues
