Inner ear infections
Wednesday, April 9th, 2008Anyone have experience with this? I’ve had this infection for 2 weeks this Fri. The first week was debilitating. Basically I couldn’t get out of bed without falling over or puking, so no working out during that. The doctors all had different theories and it was even possibly a thyroid condition. Things have gotten better over time, though I still have crap balance. On Sun I figured I was at 90%, so I went for a mountain bike ride, only to find that I still had no balance and after several close calls i finally took a digger into the street.
Yesterday they finally got me in and did some serious tests. Turns out my left ear is sending 40% less balancing signals than my right and it is most likely due to a virus, which they prescribed steroids for. I have been back to the gym on Mon and Today, which is quite interesting. My head spins quite a bit and I have to be careful. I also ran wind sprints which was also quite interesting, due to the fact that world kept bouncing up and down long after I did. Fun fun.
