Have you ever heard the word comorbidity?  Ever wondered what it is?  The simple meaning is when someone has two or more medical conditions simultaneously.  We hear this a lot in the vestibular community.  These disorders/diseases can develop at the same or different times, they can interact with one another making diagnosis and treatment difficult.  These conditions can be both physical and/or mental and can increase the risk of complications or even the possibility of developing something new. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, learning to live and navigate the world of medicine and life with comorbid conditions has its own set of challenges.
