@EmiGal 34s I had ear surgery about 18 months ago. My vestibular was damaged and I have been struggling with balance and depth perception ever since. It took over a year to see specialists in Boston, over 2 hours away. I tried meds thru surgeon, OCO, chiropractor, acupuncture, PT specialist, neurologist, neuro-optomology and vestibular specialist. I was given glasses with a prism ground in. I tire so easily and can't get much done during the day. I can barely walk safely on inside steps and must have someone drive me and walk with me to appointments. I am lucky if I get out of house 4 hours a week. It's hard not to be depressed
