Yeah been referred to ENT specialist but he said could take up to 5 weeks, WTF!
I've also been doing some Vestibular rehabilitation therapy Exercises I found online and what the doc recommended.
I have to go back and see him next Tuesday (at least I hope that's what he meant :wink: ) as I'm due back at work on the Weds.

I suppose if DOM found out, he could suggest that if your well enough to sit & play guitar then your well enough to come into work for indoor duties, e.g. sitting making up households?

Now worth the risk - if your sick your sick!

Hope you see the specialist soon - good luck!
