Inner ear infections
Anyone 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.

Be careful with that babe!! Atleast running your only likely to fall on your face but lifting you could do some serious damage, so becareful!

No doubt. I’m going really light with high reps. I just kinof need the feel of getting back in, plus it helps with my balance. Lunges were quite interesting though
Running I’ve chosen to keep it on the grass
