however although I suffered as a teen, I rarely have any symptoms now even though I was told that I'd suffer with an arthritic spine as I got older
I rarely think about it tbh

I have arthritis from top to bottom of my spine.
I have a slight scoliosis.
I have blood pressure problems mostly under control drug free.
I have to watch cholesterol but have it under control .... drug free.
I have benign tumors all over my spinal cord which give me some serious problems.
Spinal cord is part of the brain and effects controls everything below the base of your skull.
Twenty years ago I had arthritis and had learned to live with it .... nothing else.
The last few weeks you wouldn't know looking at me that I had any serious health problems but .... I do have an electric wheelchair to manage Tesco and the like but .... haven't had to use it for weeks.
When I see specialists or just doc at surgery .... they get a pretty good picture .... he's arrived from the car park on foot .... he's in the wheelchair.
Heart liver kidneys all in tip top condition which is a bit strange.
Ten years ago I wouldn't have dreamed I'd be typing any of this beyond the arthritis.
I'm getting close to seventy and on the whole things aren't too bad.
Tonight I'm sipping whiskey and reckon I can get another ten years like this .... might be wrong.
Maybe five years but ten years before I croak.

I have a vestibular disorder, causes imbalance, fatigue and poor concentration. Getting a cold can send me off whack for a month or more but with no outward symptoms people think I'm swinging the lead.
Best way to describe it is having too much to drink at lunchtime, after the nice parts worn off and you're stuck at work feeling like shit.

Appears to be getting worse now and seem to have more bad days than good.

Looking at those symptoms I’ve also had vertigo, nothing to do with heights, more to do with extreme stress so I really sympathise if you get that dizziness with it. Tinnitus has been on and off most of my life, nothing too serious there though, just the occasional ringing like radio waves passing through or a low hum. Haven’t had that for a few years though.
Have you looked into natural remedies? A healthy diet is crucial. We are what we eat/drink.
