This week I am talking with Lara, about her vestibular journey with Labyrinthitis, Vestibular Neuritis and Vestibular Migraine that began after delivering her twin daughters, over twelve years ago. Her symptoms began to increase, and she was experiencing hyperacusis, light sensitivity and small vertigo episodes that got progressively worse over 2 years. Which lead to scary debilitating vertigo, disequilibrium, panic attacks, agoraphobia and like many vestibular warriors’ bouts of depression and some suicidal thoughts.
Having strong support from family and wanting to be an active parent in her daughter’s lives helped her find the inner strength to push on. She began her blog, rightfully called Mummy Seeing Double, to share her healing journey and so others would feel less alone. Lara lives in Surrey, England with her beautiful family and continues to be an inspiration to many.
If you would like more information on vestibular disorder's please visit VeDA (Vestibular Disorders Association). Here you will find more information on balance disorders, diagnosis, treatment, medical professionals, support groups, even a new patient tool kit and so much more. It has been an amazing resource.
