This is a sign. I used to get it all the time. I felt as if I was living in a dream world. After all my brain surgeries, I still have it. It’s pretty bad.
Thank you, this does help and gives me hope. It will be a year in Sept. this year from my surgery. I am going through acupuncture treatment now. I've noticed my vertigo is about 5 seconds now. But my vertigo was only laying in certain positions.
Learn how to pretty much walk again and remember how to use my left hand and remember that I have a left hand, LOL. but I was active at the gym and a runner prior to surgery, so walking was fairly easy for me. Typing is still delayed on my left hand but I'm trying to learn how to knit and crochet to work on some hand therapy. Very frustrating but I'm happy to be alive.
divafroggy sounds exactly like me. I’m glad you’re alive too. How long did i I f take you to walk properly? Can you run? I’m interested as running is one of my major goals
@@Thebraintumourwarrior I'm so sorry for the late response I was able to walk right away. Well...the first day and evening when I got home I used a walker to help me get around but after that I was able to pretty much walk around on my own. I needed someone to walk with me up and down the stairs for a a few days ( just to make sure I didn't fall). When I was out of ICU I had the nurses help me walk to the bathroom in the evenings and in the mornings. I have ran a few times since surgery but it's been so hot outside that I've been power-walking or using the rower at the gym. Just the tip on running power walk for a bit then run then power walk then run do that for about a mile, to build your stamina. I may have to do that again since it's been almost a year since I ran a 5K ( which I could never run the full 3 miles ever.. it was more of run the first mile and a half then Sprint the rest of the way😁😂).
I had it daily, but I didn't find out I had a brain tumour for two years after the onset of the vertigo. My advice, get an MRI simply to rule out a tumour, if you have vertigo. There are loads of other reasons you could have vertigo, but I would rule out brain tumour just to be safe.
Hi Joel hope you’re doing well. Do you experience constant dizziness on a daily like me? I do have occasional bouts of vertigo but the dizziness is pretty much constant. It’s been almost 9 years for me post surgery. Thank you
Unfortunately it’s there most days, but if I get enough rest, eat every three hours and drink atkeasy two litres of water a day, it isn’t as bad Meditation and lowering stress levels are important! How stressed are you?
@@Thebraintumourwarrior thanks Joe I appreciate the feedback and advice. I agree good sleep does help I struggle with insomnia, anxiety, panic attacks and have for years. All my issues got majorly amplified after my brain surgery
I’m so sorry to hear that, self care and getting your body out of fight or flight can help dramatically I’d also recommend seeing a psychologist if you haven’t done so already One of the best things I ever did was see a psychologist
Well done, it’s definitely a great way of going about it, and it’s better for you in the long run. Great decision. Hope you start seeing some good results. Take things one day at a time
Apologies about the delay in replaying You know how you get dizzy when you stand up too quickly? It felt like that all day long. Are you struggling with vertigo?

Thanks for reaching out. How are you feeling? What deficits did you have to overcome post surgery?

Apologies for the huge delay in replying
How are you feeling now?
How long did you have vertigo before your diagnosis?

What kind of vertigo u had ???
Apologies about the delay in replaying
You know how you get dizzy when you stand up too quickly? It felt like that all day long.
Are you struggling with vertigo?
I realize that the brain tumor can't cure completely. 🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️
Hopefully it can be removed if caught early enough
Have you had an MRI?
