Well, that is not true about healthcare being "horrible" in every country except 1-2. That is not to say that alot of healthcare systems could be better, but "horrible" would be a bit harsh to describe all of them except 1-2.
I live in Portugal. From what I've heard, healthcare is horrible in every country (with 1 or 2 exceptions) , but I think Portugal has to be in the top of the worst.
Sorry, did not fill in your complete name on my last post.
Ggreg gave some good advice.
May I ask in what country do you live?
Your husband must be a STRONG person to deal with vertigo for 15 years. Does he have rotational vertigo or rocking/swaying type vertigo? I have the rocking/swaying 24/7 except when I am sleep. I still work, cook, clean, etc. but some days I have to completely rest.
Well, in here as soon as you step in a clinic and suggest that you have this or that because you've researched it on the internet, the doctor won't take you serious, or even make fun of you and send you home untreated. I know it sounds unreal and stupid, but trust me, that's exactly how it goes. My mother works in a clinic as an assistant, and she spoke to thousands of doctors in there about my syptoms, none of them seems to take this seriously, and that's probably why she's not taking it seriously either, because she takes their word, meanwhile I feel like I'm dying.
Hope this helps!!
