Dizziness Handicap Inventory results "what's you number"

[cindyj]

I scored a 32, but really struggled w/ some of the questions...to me, a person's attitude or frame of mind or outlook on life plays a big part in many of the answers (glass half full or half empty thing).  For example, the question about whether I've been embarassed by my "problem" in front of others.  Well, I suppose I could be embarrased about some of the silly moves I make, but I'm not...I don't even think about them really.  Also, am I "afraid" people may think I'm intoxicated...strangers may wonder if I am at times, but I'm surely not "afraid" if they do...I know I'm not - it's not that big a deal to me, but to some, I suppose it might be.  Some of the questions definitely were easy to answer, such as does walking up and down the aisle in a store increase the problem, but many of them were not so straightforward.  Am I making sense    Was an interesting exercise, though (which didn't increase my "problem"  )

I scored a 42. So what does that tell me???
Things are not perfect, but they could be worse. I still feel better than before surgery.

I went to the site and read the questions.  I answered no to everything.  I did the questionaire though and my number is 76.  My symptoms last days or weeks on end.  They don't stop if I move my head a certain way.  I fall straight down at times.  I have intense head pressure and I end up staring at nothing and I can't talk.  So maybe I don't have 'dizziness' afterall.  Mine sound kind of different.  Good site.  Good find though.
