balance

[Caprice]

how many of you have a good sense of balance?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sense_of_balance

i've become something of an amateur otologist lately. i hypothesize that the world is so fucked up because most people have terrible balance (and because of that bad posture). i hypothesize that if everyone had a good sense of balance like a normal human animal should then the imbalance of chemicals in the brain wouldn't exist and there would be much less mental problems in the world. maybe even less war?

Are you stoned?

Bitch.

[Caprice]

[blank] is so much better. in every regard, makes everyone happy.


but seriously.......

[jOHN rODRIGUEZ]

Seriously, I think you should have just played along with being stoned...

not often i find myself agreeing (or understanding) with you, jOHN, but you're bang on the money there!

(funny that somebody's managed to outweird you, though!)

I have serious balance problems at the moment because I had an ear infection which resulted in me getting some kind of virus in my inner ear which has left me feeling effectively sea-sick when I get up in the morning, and various attacks of dizziness during the day too.

I have travel-sickness pills to address it and just have to wait until it goes away as there doesn't seem to be any way of treating the actual problem itself.

And I have noticed that I am far grumpier these past few weeks since I had it, too... so maybe there is something in what you say, Caprice.

i guess that why they call this the noise forum!

i have balance problems too, especially on a friday night around 1am..........

i had to look up what otology was.

Otology is a branch of biomedicine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomedicine) which studies normal and pathological (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathology) anatomy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomy) and physiology (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physiology) of the ear (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ear) (hearing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing_%28sense%29) and vestibular (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestibular_system) sensory systems (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_system) and related structures and functions) as well as its diseases (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disease), diagnosis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagnosis) and treatment.

you sure that's not a blockage? i had one and got seasick at work, and grumpy because i was hearing everything at the same level and couldn't filter sound

if so; don't use drops from the chemist - heat olive oil to body temperature and use that instead - works an absolute treat in a couple of days.:)

I plan on getting one of these soon because I believe balance is a sense that needs to be exercised everyday in order to maintain.

I'm currently reading a book on balance http://www.amazon.com/Balance-Search-Sense-Scott-McCredie/dp/0316011355

It's alright in teaching me the mechanics of how balance works. But he specifies examples like what happened to you BeautifulBurnout. It happens to a number of people that way too.

Thanks for that - I might give it a try. Altho the doc has had a good look at it.

Caprice

Thanks for that also - very interesting.

I wonder if my Wii Fit might help? :)

[jOHN rODRIGUEZ]

I need to thank Caprice too now. You're like a monk or something!

I think I know someone who needs to be treated for this. I've just read the symptoms and it fits what's been described by a close friend. Although balance has not been a problem, everything else fits.
