The first time I got it was probably close to 20 years ago.
Woke up on a Sat morning, got out of bed and proceeded to fall right back in bed as the spinning caught me completely off guard.
Went to my doctor, and was prescribed Meclazine(?) to ward off the dizziness.

Once that spell passes, it was over 10 years until it hit again.
This time I knew what it was, and what I needed to do to combat the effects. Not once did I get dizzy and fall over while standing.
It will hit you when you get up from lying down and when you first lie down.

What's funny is that you can do all the steps in the procedure (that can be found online) and one day, quite surprisingly, it will have stopped.
How long will it be gone for, no one can say.
Once you know what it is, it makes it easier to deal with and treat.

Once again, good luck (and unfortunately, welcome to the club!)

I am a legend in my own mind!
