Dizziness Handicap Inventory results "what's you number"

[Rc Moser]

I have found the dizzy selftest. IMO Kind of like the stupid sleep member number you see on TV pushing their mattress .  I'm a 76.

 Go to www.dizzyfix.com/selftest.html?lookingup if interested in the dizziness handicap test.  If also has some Study references that may help when trying to docoment some ability problems. Or just take it for fun if interested.  go to the upper right hand corner in green under take the self test and click on it if interested Rc.

Hi Rc;

   Thank you. It's very interesting and certainly worth the look. I see it would be head position induced. I wonder what the average vertiginous AN nystagmus would look like.
   I'm not sure that oscillopsia or transient dizziness produces nystagmus.
   Be well...

RC,

I came up with a score of 28 which I guess is pretty good. My problems with balance have improved with time, it's been about three years since they started then I'm two and a half years out from GK. I wish the hearing could improve with time. Anyway the test was interesting, Thanks

Interesting....I'm a 44...but I still don't feel what I'd call dizzy or have vertigo....I know which way is up, I just lose track of where I am in space....disoriented....I don't really feel spinning at all, but I could still answer yes and sometimes on a lot of the questions.

hmmmphh. I"m a 42 and didnt realize it. My wife notices it more than I do. Oh well I'm keeping the nick name PINBALL cuz I bounce off walls on my way to bed.

I don't know what I did wrong but filled out twice and didn't get a score   HOWEVER.... the questions were almost identical to the ones I answered at my local dizzy clinic on Monday. I went through a few hours of really wierd tests and then had a follow up the next day with the Dr. Going to give Topomax a try as he said that some of my dizzy symptoms can be taken care of with this medicine as well as headaches. I am also going to give physical therapy another try as well.......

Couldn't get a score either. Am I doing something wrong here

Bumping this up for the new people if they are interested in this test.

Just done it again and it worked fine for me! I'm getting better scored a 70 this time.
Go to www.dizzyfix.com/selftest.html?lookingup  Click on, scroll to bottom right, (Dizziness handicap Inventory) Click on that.
New window opens up, scroll down to test and click.  another window will open up, answer questions by putting mouse arrow on the answer, click, at the bottom of the page after you answered all the questions, click on  Tell me my results? another window opens up, expand it.   Your score should be at the top right after the explaination of the test.

Interesting. It kind of makes you think about the ways in which you are affecting by the dizziness that, for me, I may have just gotten used to so some extent. I got at 64, which kind of surprised me also. I kept the report since I have CK in less than 3 weeks. It might be good to do later and reassess.

Not sure how valid this might be because it was how I answered at this moment ..... an hour from now it might be different ..... but interesting, nonetheless.  My score was 66.

Scored a 78 right here,right now!HMM....certainly does put a damper on life!

[stoneaxe]

Certainly underlines how lucky I've been.

I took the test twice....once thinking about how things used to be not so long ago....score = 60


Then again the way things are now....score = 6

I really hope everyone can find a way to get where I am now. There was a time when I thought I would never NOT have a balance problem or feel as good as I do today. I actually feel a bit bad about feeling so good while I know that others are struggling.

I have not been on here in a long time.  Saw this test & I guess it says it all!  I scored a 70! 

[Jim Scott]

Although this thread's genesis is ancient (2007) I clicked on the link and took the test, just for fun.  I scored 10, which was about what I expected, as my one-time positional vertigo disappeared following my AN surgery in 2006.  Nice to have one's assumptions (about my balance) validated.

I scored 56. Worse than I thought I would. I guess I've just learned to live with it. I'm like Gennysmom, I don't have vertigo, just feel "lost in space" and disoriented. It comes and goes, depending on how tired I am and the weather also plays a part. I also totally relate to bouncing off the walls as I go to bed, lol.
