I'm not really sure how to start this so I'm just going to dive in. I have been AD Navy for about 4 years and I have loved it. I deployed and I had the best experiences of my life. About 8 months ago, I started experiencing ear pain and dizziness that has now led to chronic vertigo (1-2 episodes a day). I was put on LIMDU and am being pulled from my current shore duty command due to the limitations of my LIMDU. You can't really do your job well when you could be looking at something one moment and then spinning with no control. I'm currently seeing a million specialists as they are ruling out everything they can before giving me the Meniere's diagnosis, but in the meantime, my quality of life is the worst it's ever been. I was wondering if anyone has been sent to a LIMDU command where they were able to telework or be able to work around your illness? I have vertigo that is triggered by anything and lasts 20 min to 5 hours and completely wipes me out. I'm exhausted having to explain how debilitating vertigo is to my current chain of command who've seen me have episodes. I don't want to live my life like this anymore. Finally getting the help I need and being put on LIMDU in order to return back to FFD if they can fix me is my main priority.
Thanks for the help!
