I've been going to Disney each August with DD9 and Dh. In february I go to Universal... we drive each time. DD has Aspergers, OCD, adhd,sensory problems ....

But she is not my problem this time around. We leave in about 2 weeks. I've been having problems walking, bending my knees and going on steps. Dr. says arthritis is coming in. I take naproxin from time to time (I hate meds). Anyway in October I got a really bad dizzy spell, and couldn't see straight, let alone work, DH rushed me to the ER.. They say Vertigo. Problem is.. it isn't getting much better, I can't look up without getting dizzy, I can't lay down without a spell coming on.

Back to February... we are going down during Presidents week... I'm not even sure I can make the drive without pain from sitting... But we can't afford to fly. Am I still going to be able to do the rides with DD? She loves ET, spiderman, Dr. seussland, curious george... I'm really scared that it is something more, the Doctors just don't listen. During the daytime I'm looking ok, a little dragging on the leg, but by nighttime...it's horrid....I'm sorry it's frustrating, I hate to whine.. but with this trip coming up I'm getting really worried and don't want to disappoint my DD, she is my life....
 
I vote that you rent an ECV. Rest yourself and save energy for the rides. You'll be okay unless spinning sets off dizziness (can you test this first in the local playground?). I'm not trying to be funny, I think if you can figure what does and doesn't set off the dizziness that you can make a better decision.
