    Outside of my family and closest friends, I just say exactly "I have a vestibular inner-ear problem." Because I don't like to make an issue out of it I find this works out really well.

    Most people don't have a clue what the vestibular system is. They get there heads wrapped around trying to adjust to a new word they've heard. In an effort to prevent the next question, "what's a vestibular problem?" I than throw in the "inner ear problem" in an effort to thwart that question. They hear inner ear and can relate to it somehow in their minds. Even though, in my guesstimation, 70% of the people I have ask no more questions and still don't have a clue what's wrong with me.

    I've adopted this approach because of the same exact scenario that was on the original post. I've found that if I use the word dizzy or balance, virtually every Tom, Dick, and Harry will tell me how they have had the same thing (usually one time, yeah it's the same lol) or know someone that has. For me, usually less is more!!

    great shirt!

    I tell people my brain gets errant signals from my body and sometimes I throw up on people. No one ever says that happens to them. ;)
