I have been getting dizzy and having blurred vision for about 2 months and am getting an MRI done on Wednesday. I walk around like I am drunk and Idon't drink. it happens all the time, for no reason at all. I don't know what else to do if the MRI comes back okay. I am afraid to move around much because i think I will fall.

" welcome to the crappy world of vertigo

it is some sort of mystery thing... not sure why it is so hard to find the cause.

There are lots of reasons for this, and some are not easy to find. Mine is caused by food allergies that affect my inner ear (very strange, but true)

keep a journal of all the activities, foods, etc.... things that happen around the time you get the dizziness the most.

It took me many years to find my cause... thank goodness we found it, i have my life back if i can avoid certain things.

good luck to you! "

" Look for a very good doctor that will not stop until they find the reason for the vertigo. I had the best luck with an otolaryntologist as opposed to an ENT. Good luck. Life will stop spinning eventually. "
