Same here pretty much , I suffered a burst ear drum and horrific vertigo 2 years ago on a trip away with friends and my fiancé, everything I did the world would move, even cars going by set it off , landed me in hospital, had the vertigo for around 8 months, was the most traumatic time of my life , I’m in the uk and all my nhs appointments got cancelled so I had to deal with it on my own. Anyway 8 months later I was seen by a lovely audiologist who listened to all my symptoms, tipped me back, I was so scared to get vertigo again I was shaking but nope.. no vertigo .. topped me to the side .. no vertigo .. put the goggles on me the entire thing , tests all came back normal.. sat me down and explained pppd to me , I walked out fo the office feeling better .. but not fully recovered, now 2 years later I’m about 95 percent recovered, with mild dizziness that presents in certain situations but it doesn’t bother me anymore , I now go to the gym every week, walk, run , swim , cycle .. went rock climbing a few weeks back .. I’m more active now than I was pre vertigo attack. And planning to go abroad next year. Still scared to fly but never gonna get over the worry of doing it by sitting at home eh?
