Hi welcome aboard. I don't feel like I am dizzy, but that is what a lot of people feel like with small AN's. My problems started about almost 2yrs ago and it took a few Doctors before they found this little sucker. I feel like I just got off a fishing boat. My next MRI is in a few weeks around the 1st of the year, they found mine early May 2012 but had balance issues for about 6months, I had another scan Early 2013, it grew a whole 0.5mm , so now it's 3.5mm, they grow about 1-2mm a year so I am told. I have had a lot of problem with this little one, and that's what the Doctors pretty much say, oh that's a small tumor, but it's not in such a great spot, it's on my vestibular nerve, so it makes sense to me , but not to all the Doctors I been too will agree about that. I went to Vestibular Therapy and it did help somewhat, but you have to do alot of it. What it is doing is trying it get the other side of the brain or to retrain your brain that what they told me, which is hard because the tumor is messing up the signal. I tried and still do some of the exercises, but it's still hard for me at least. I would say try it , it can't hurt and maybe you have better luck. I got some insight from my support group about the vestibular system , and it's worth looking into for yourself. I have had a gait issue from a childhood accident and walk with a limp for about 30 years now so I think that this issue doesn't help having a small tumor on my vestibular nerve, so I am not sure vestibular Therapy is going to work for me. As far as the eye issue , I know I get a twitch every so often, like a flutter, but it goes away never stays that long. You should get your eyes checked , your eyes are also a part of the vestibular system . Also check any medication that may say causes dizziness, that could also be a factor for you, and check with your doctor about that. Don't feel alone and you are not crazy, in fact some Dr's might think some of this stuff is in your head , they do not have the tumor, and just look at there text books, not all of these tumors are the same and none are in the same spot , everyone has a different problem with them. I will say some prayers for you , and feel free to chat with me hopefully I have been of some help to you , I wish you all the luck!
