Cheryl Schlitz joined a support group located in Alabama calling themselves The Wobblers. The members had one thing in common, none could maintain what is called equilibrioception, or a sense of balance.
She said of the condition, “It’s a living hell.” Cheryl suffered from dizziness, tinnitus, memory loss, and blurred vision. She could no longer live the life she had before. Her vestibular system, which keeps things that we see around us steady and not bounce around like a video taken on a phone, was out of whack.
Even though our heads move when we walk, things around us appear still.
But not for Cheryl. What she saw jumped and jiggled making her stagger like a drunk.
Cheryl suffered dreadful side-effects from the antibiotic drug gentamicin.
She was referred to neurologist Paul Bach-y-Rita. Paul told her he could train her brain by using her tongue to keep a sense of balance.
Cheryl didn’t believe him. But she went along with the experiment because she had nothing to lose.
What Cheryl discovered was astounding.

Do tell. This is so interesting especially as I have a niece in law with what sounds like a similar condition.
