Sharpshoot,
Just go to the health clinic in your area, tell them you think you have vertigo (that's a more common word for labrynthitis), and let them take care of you. As for it becoming permanent, this is indeed true, my husband has had vertigo for about 15 years. SOME people it does go away, but others it doesn't, but there are treatments for it either way. Why suffer if you don't have to? If your country pays for it, like if you're in Canada or Great Britain, it doesn't matter if you have a job or not. Just go to a clinic or hospital or doctor and be seen. Let us know what happens.

I have had problems with my vision, balance, etc. because I was not treated promptly; it is going on a year and still it has not resolved. In some cases, it becomes chronic; never going away. Google unresolved labyrinthitis.
No, there is NO easy treatment, if there were I would not be in the position I am in. I have learned to live around it.
I don't know what you have; you need to be DIAGNOSED first and NO ONE on here can do that.
It can cause permanent problems? I've read that it can last for a few months, but it will eventually go away.. is that wrong? And if I do have it, is there an easy treatment?
Well, I wish you the best and hope your parents and physician will take your seriously and consult an ENT specialist. If you do have labyrinthitis its needs to be taken care of promptly before it causes permanent problems.
I'm 19 years old, but there isn't much I can do. Everything that has to do with health is paid in my country, and I don't have a job, because I feel way too bad to work.
As for psychological disturbances in the past, no, not really, and from what I know my familly is pretty healthy as well.
Hope this helps!!
