- 2 year anniversary update on my life after Vestibular Neuritis. Spoil alert: I'm STILL fully recovered and doing really well.
What do I do to recover?
I made getting better my job. Heres an abbreviated list of all of the things I did the first 6 months that got me well enough to return to my job and active lifestyle:
Daily:
VRT- (every exercise on the web, I did)
EXERCISE-walks, gym, eventually running and biking
EXPOSURE- go to a store, a festival, busy places,
REST- get at least 8 to 9 hours of sleep each night. Nap when needed.
SUPPLEMENTS- magnesium, vitamins c and b, fish oil, zink.
MEDICATION- lexapro 10mg to help calm the panic, anxiety, and depression
Weekly:
TREATMENTS- acupuncture, chiropractor, talk therapy, physical balance therapy
EXPERIMENT- find things that made me feel off and incorporate them into my life in small doses until I felt normal doing them.
SOCIALIZE- find time to be normal and enjoy a meal with friends and family
PRACTICE KINDNESS TO MYSELF. Sometimes I needed to just cry and I let myself do that.
I lived with family and friends while I was sick. At the 5 month mark I returned to work with minor daily symptoms that were manageable. By 1 year I hardly noticed any symptoms at all. The final symptom to go was the visual disturbances.
Year 2- what a great year!
