Bad ENT experience

three common trajectories

  1. Progressively better
    Acute at first, slow and steady getting better anywhere from 2 to 3 years. Then after that relapses far and few. happy life in the end and symptoms well managed ! (Mostly men in this bucket and some women too)

  2. Bell Curve of symptoms and managed by lifestyle
    Vague dizziness at first. Completely able to ingore in the intial years. Anywhere from 3 to 10 years then symptoms become super bad and you scamper for meds. After that it becomes controlled and it ebbs and flows with acute and chronic phases and all over the map but managed by lifestyle. (Mostly Women and some men)

  3. Multi-year Symptoms with extensive remission between them
    Had symptoms as a teenager some tilting, vague dizziness and sinus. Disappears all together then hits you hard as an adult for 2 years and disappears. Comes back again time to time. Zero symptoms in between attacks which can span years. (younger adults age 20 to 40). Some folks go into remission for years and never have problems come back.
