      From Pray2day November 6, 2008

      Just checking in to see how you are doing. Did the Dr. ever give you a diagnosis? Dizziness/Vertigo is a symptom of some other medical condition. Mine thinks it is related to central nervous system disorder that is demyelinating my nerves.

      July 1999 I was horseback riding with some friends, when my horse got scared and I fell off the side of my horse, hit my head and I now suffer from vertigo, dizziness, loss of hearing, taste and smell, short term memory loss, my head always hurts and nausea. I would like to find people out there like myself.

    • Open Insomnia

      I have had terrible insomnia since my horse accident in July of 1999.I fractured the left side of my skull above and below my ear,of course my brain was injured, I lost a great deal but cheated death!!!!I lost my hearing in left ear and my vertigo,sense of smell and taste,and short term memory,and sinusitus on top of that,makes my head hurt even more,and many nights of laying in bed all night with no sleep,my brain just will not shut down when it is suppose to.
