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 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.../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?

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.
