definitely worth going the conventional route before resorting to things like this. out of the population of members of this site, most get better with pharmacological treatments ā not saying stuff like this doesnāt work, its just unconventional

may be unconventional, but it is getting to the root of the problem and correcting that instead of using drugs. how can that be harmful. I went down the conventional route first and ended up two stone heavier with a tremor and memory problems due to drug side effects. I know which I prefer.
Drugs get to the root of the problem too. The reality is nobody knows how these treatments work, but what is validated is what is validated, and the path of least resistance leads through pharmacology. Again, what works for you is what works for you, but for the larger population, conventional treatment is best and most likely to lead to success.

Surely a therapy with a high success rate and a few simple eye exercises are worth trying before going on powerful drugs that, I admit in their place are very valuable and effective, three of my children are kept alive by drugs, but there is no denying that they can have detrimental side effects. Anyhow I canāt be more grateful to have found such an effective harmless therapy and within a matter of four weeks, I am now functioning like I used to before the horrible vestibular migraines took my life away. I thought it my responsibility to let others know that there are alternatives to medication for this horrible affliction, as there must be others like me, that get every side effect listed and more. I am incredibly sensitive to almost all drugs I have ever tried so I had to take a different path.
A lot of neurological disorders are not really understood by standard neurologists and that is where a functional neurologist can help and indeed my hospital neurologist was extremely interested when I told her about my functional one and wanted him to email her with his findingsā¦
All properly scientifically explained and the cutting edge of medicineā¦
I am in no way suggesting that others come off their successful drug therapies, it would be very irresponsible of me to do so. Also I was probably misleading when I said the functional neurologist got me off my meds. It was actually my desire to do so, with no influence from him. I did it with the support of my GP who told me how to gradually decrease the amitriptyline, as they had stopped working anyway and I was so much better with the new therapy I no longer needed them. Iām sorry for any confusionā¦ I just meant because of him I had got off them.
Happy new year all of you and praying we all find our own path to health 
Posts like these come around on this site every couple of months where people come around and suggest therapies that have scant evidence at best. People that come to this site for help are highly vulnerable and desperate. Chances are, if a solution seems too good to be true (wearing some magic goggles to realign your eyes), then it probably is.
This is a brutal disease, make no mistake about it, and it is HIGHLY unadvisable to take the path least traveled when it comes to non-medical therapies.
Iām happy that it worked for you; itās good to make people aware of the fact that there are potential non-drug therapies but pushing them as superior is not okay. I donāt know of a single neurologist that would suggest this therapy over conventional treatment. If the results are really that compelling, you should encourage your chiropractor to seek funding and run an actual clinical trial.
I think you have misunderstood. the goggles were for the diagnosis to see what was happening with my eyes when they are shut in order to then tailor the eye exercises to suit my own specific brain weaknesses.
Also unfortunately, in the UK the only way to actually see a Neurologist, (without a minimum six months wait for URGENT cases, unless you pay a fortune to go privately), is to be admitted into hospital via our overworked, underfunded emergency rooms and insist on staying until you have done so, which is what I did in June 23 for a five day hospital stay that ended in an interview that lasted ten minutes with a resident neurologist, and the next available follow up appointment to see her again and see how I responded to the powerful drugs she put me on, wonāt be until March 24 probably for another ten minute appointment. I managed to get an email address of her secretary, but there has been no reply to an email I sent months ago.
Iām just saying to be mindful of what you post here. Chiropractic therapy is unproven at-best ā people here take what you write seriously.
Eye-exercises seem fine and benign enough, but using them as the first, or even the fifth option when treating this disease seems dubious at best.
Good luck ā I hope it continues to work for you.
Chiropractors in the UK have a minimum of 4 - 5 years full time training, (the one I go to has had 7 years full time) and they help thousands of people every day, they may use a different approach, but it certainly isnāt dubious. Just more precise and individualised. In fact the first time I went to a functional neurological chiropractor was about 8 years ago after 3 different neurologists had discharged me after presenting with a hideous facial palsy, they said I would have to just live with. He helped to correct it and since then I have been to him regularly to keep on top of it.
Hello and welcome to our club! Sorry to hear that you are struggling - reading your post has brought back memories of how frightened I felt about what was going on in my brain. I canāt add much to the advice already given , but just to reinforce @sheepdog_lord advice to find a neuro-ontologist as they have a better understanding of what is going on re the vestibular system. My brain was overloaded and couldnāt cope with any more stress / triggers and it took 6 months to be able to go back to work and even now over 5 years later, I have off days where my ears and head feel pressure and my tinnitus screams at me - today being one of them.
I hope that you find a neuro-otologist soon as that will definitely set you on the right path - just bear in mind that treatment varys from person to person and can take time for it to work.

Sad tale - probably the result of the jab, which so many have suffered. At least the blood thinners will hopefully save you from having a stroke or heart attack. I think many of us now have known someone who has died young or of mysterious causes after taking the state covid shots.
I truly hope youāre well and the horror of this passes.
