I am experiencing instability and dizzinees which from day to day may be at a 6-7 or on other days a 4-5 with 10 being the worst.I am wondering if this will ever go away ? I have spoken with my neourolgist and he said we will need to just wait and see ??? I am concerned as it has me unable to work and at times very unstable- would you have any additional advice. (help)

Answer
Unfortunately I can not tell you anything more than your neurologist told you, simply because it is unknown. Though I hope you will get better!

I have some computer problems so unfortunately my reply is delayed.
