In conclusion to this video for Ménières and vestibular related illness it is the fluid around the ear that interferes with balance!

Below is how the gyroscope works, is is very enlightening! It shows just how the ears work correctly when both sides of the double gyroscope are going in the correct direction!

However when compromised by a fault ( Ménières or other vestibular issue) it highlights the incapacity of the brains functionality when it comes to balance. In that it just hasn’t the capacity to function in the correct way; in times of distress, during spins, Ménières attack, vestibular migraine! The list goes on!

So there we are! A visual aid to share for how the ears are compromised!

It’s not in our heads! But it is definitely to do with them!

I wish all my fellow spinalot friends well in their own NORMAL world xx
