Can hormonal changes affect vestibular disorders? New research says a sudden decrease in estrogen during menopause can indeed increase the risk of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).

My first big book event will be @changinghands in Phoenix this Sunday at 4pm. Come by and say hi, grab some migraine-friendly party mix, and we'll give each other jazz hands (because that's what the CDC is recommending instead of hugs).

#balanceawarenessweek thoughts:
Vertigo is a symptom not a diagnosis. Doctors must look for the cause rather than sending patients home with meclizine.
