Labyrinthitis.org.uk - support for Labyrinthitis sufferers.
The
fact that you have arrived at this site implies either you or someone you
know has had or still has the inner ear infection Labyrinthitis. The norm
for Labyrinthitis is to last between 3 and 8 weeks and then disappear without
so much of a trace. For a fair number however this does not happen and long
after the doctor has said "You'll be fine in a few weeks" such people have
noticed no improvement, let alone a recovery.
This website is for those people who have been suffering for months
and years rather than weeks. The website will explain this syndrome of
"Uncompensated Labyrinthitis" whereby the brain or CNS has not yet compensated
for the inner ear injury.
We are two UK sufferers who have been inspired to form this site in
an attempt to inform and help others out there who are going through the
same experience. Our aim is to make the difficult, emotional and pretty
devastating "Labyrinthitis journey" which we have experienced, that little
bit easier.
As we have realised, vestibular disorders are so often misunderstood
by the general public as well as health professionals and we feel the
need to raise this understanding and awareness of such a disabling condition.
If we are able to inform and support a handful of people, then in our
eyes this website is a job well done.
