I'm proud to be part of
a group of people who got together to start this petition - link at bottom of this piece - & with Balance
Awareness Week - BAW - coming in September, it's time to shine a light on it
again.
The goal of this petition -
The goal of this petition -
"We aim to give vestibular / neurovestibular patients a better chance for swift and accurate diagnosis, a cure or appropriate treatment. We ask for a worldwide agreement on education of medical students, further training for existing specialists and the establishment of medical guidelines regarding vestibular conditions / disorders. "

It took me nearly a year to get my migraine associated vertigo - MAV - diagnosis. I saw a lot of doctors, & had a lot of tests - MAV can only be diagnosed when a bunch of other stuff is ruled out.

For some people, it
takes much longer to get accurately diagnosed. The point of this petition is
for doctors to be better educated so that patients can get diagnosed sooner.
Please take a look at
this petition, & educate yourself a bit - chances are you know someone with
a vestibular disorder. They may not know it - they may not even have ever heard
the term vestibular. I know I've gotten quite an education since getting sick
back in September of 2011.
