[QUOTE="Azelia, post: 852412, member: 80978"] MD was a very debilitating experience for me. When it hit, I would be out of commission for 12-36 hrs; doing nothing but throwing up and sleeping. I have not have an attack since Feb 2019 and intend to keep it this way. I believe camino was one of the route to cure for me. Between Feb to Nov 2017, I had one too many attacks that once I was out of work for 6 weeks. I quit working in Nov 2017. I learnt to meditate in India. In May 2018, I walked portion of CF with my husband, Jakob (we took train and bus in some portion). Somewhere pass Saria, I just noticed that my left ear had stopped ringing -- the tinnitus was gone! At least for the moment. After Santiago we went to Finestere. I was so afraid standing on the cliff. I think the fear could have created a spin. I was so afraid. We flew home to Singapore and the camino kepts calling. We went back and this time was vDLP in Sept 2018. Somewhere near Los Tornos, there was a detour due to the construction and we had to walk a long time on the road. There was a portion that we walked along a tunnel with a supper narrow path to walk and the construction trucks were zipping back and forth. I was so scared that they did not see me. I was so scared that I would get dizzy, lost my balance, and tumbled to the road with trucks passing by at a high speed. Finally the tunnel end; my ear rang like a helicopter about to take off. I burst into tears. After that we tried to hitch hike as I did not think I could walk. There were only construction trucks passing by so we had to keep on walking on this road. After a long stress we finally got back to trail. The serenity of the trail composed me and I was able to calm my self down. Jakob thought that would be the end of the camino judging on how badly I sobbed after the tunnel. We walked all the way to Santiago. I have since then back working again starting Dec 2018. We both long to go back to camino. I do believe the camino has contributed to curing MD for me. I never had an attack since Feb 2019 though my left ear still rings. I think the walking has taught me to listen to my body better. I learnt what triggered the attack and also felt if an attack about to come and quickly do something about it. [USER=33265]@malingerer[/USER] -- bravo to you. At 82 I feel it is safer for you to walk with someone. With MD, I think it would be even more important to have someone with you. I dare to walk alone now. Back then, I would not do it without my husband with me. I mumbled telling my case as I don't have an advice but sharing my experience. To others with MD -- one of the things that helped me was getting my atlas bone adjusted. Most of the regular chiropractors do not have this very specialized skill according to my chiropractor. I had my atlas fixed in Switzerland. Buen camino Malingerer -- go with someone :-) [/QUOTE]
