Wonderful explanation of balance and balance problems - Newbies read this!!

This was in another post, and I'm very sorry, but I can't locate it at the moment to give it proper credit.  This is a great explanation of balance and how it all works and what happens when something is not working right.  I printed this out immediately!  I think this deserves it's own subject so, I'm going ahead and posting this, with apologies to the person who called my attention to it.  This was only yesterday, so you'd think I could find it, but I can't at the moment and I am in a hurry, so there you go.  Anyway, I hope everyone sees this and reads this, because it really lays it all out there nicely.  Mine is quite mild, but  I could relate to a lot of this.  

Have a great weekend everybody!

Thank you so much for posting that article.  I never knew that it could cause memory problems, and also affect my hand writing.
Those 2 things have been driving me crazy. 
I'm 4 months post op, and have not been shopping, or to a mall yet!  That's scary for a woman!!
I just don't feel like going.  Don't know if it's depression or fatigue.
Oh well, it's good when it comes to getting my Visa bill...!!!!
Thanks again,
Lacey

Yeah, I didn't want to take the credit for finding this.  Donnalynn, THANK YOU.  I thought it was a terrific article and I think every newbie should read it.  I wish I'd had this info when I first started this journey.

Wow
That really answered a lot of questions for me.  No wonder I have trouble with my eyes when I'm dizzy.  Thanks for posting that.

Thanks!!  I see new people on here asking the questions that we've been talking about for several years now, and some of the issues are explained quite nicely in this article.  At least it is of some comfort to know WHY this is happening.  Then you can figure out what to do about it.

Yeah, I think the doctors should hand this out to every new AN patient.  And after my first reaction to the news that I had a "mass" in my noggin, which was sort of like "whaaaaaaaat?", and after I  muttered "I want my mommy", I am sure it was "AHA!  I'm not nuts!"   :D
