12 Days without vestibular symptoms. What would that look like?
Ask anyone with a vestibular disorder what they would most want for Christmas, and I'm quite sure the answer would be a resounding - 'RECOVERY'!!!
Oh, just to be symptom free for a few days would be the best possible gift.
Sadly for many of us full recovery isn't a possibility. But we can at least hope for some of the debilitating symptoms to ease for a while, so that we can enjoy the holiday season with our families.
I took tune of the Christmas song "The 12 Days Of Christmas" and, using some of the most common symptoms with this disorder, I made a vestibular version.
Maybe you have these symptoms, or maybe some of yours are different, but you get the idea.
Sing along with me...
