Hi Eli and Jools,
Thanks a lot Eli for enlightening on this ...I feel sensory motor amnesia seems to fit CSD logically... I have also started doing couple of Hanna Somatics and feel some relief with related to pain...Hanna Somatics does not specifically mention about dizziness but it talks about imbalance, disquilibrium.Seems like the Focusing on contraction and release of muscles is the key...I think the book of Somatics(google books has few pages online) talks about 8 exercises not sure what they are exactly...I was just doing wash rag and couple of them...today I borrowed Martha Petersons book move without pain from the library...I will try to make a regimen for myself from this book exercises... one thing I can say from my own observation is, may be bit by bit(very minor) our mind,body are moving away from this condition(if we are less tensed and keep ourself active) as I see myself that one year ago I was scared to go to Walmart etc as it seemed the racks were jumping on me but now I am comfortable traversing through the aisles. I think if we restrict ourselves to inactivity, it will not change and may become worse...Keeping the anxiety low may also be the key as it will lessen down the chronic muscle tension.....
One more thing I observed on myself is I feel more imbalanced on flat solid surfaces like wood and comfortable on carpet,grass. not sure why my brain thinks I am fine on rough surface but vulnerable on solid. Is it the muscles of feet that has sensory amnesia to particular surfaces ....Martha Peterson talks about walking on barefoot ...I think I should do that as much as possible.
thanks
