[Blindtlk] Balance

[Mike Freeman]

The doctors may well be right. But I wouldn't just let it go. I'd talk to an
allergy specialist or an eye-ears-nose-and-throat doc and see if there's a
way to get some relief.

I too thought vertigo was a possibility, but it seems the most frequent
occurrences are transitions into and out of winter. It's rather strange.
I've been to several doctors including my eye doctor as I originally thought
it was an eye problem. All of them have said sinuses are causing my issue.
