ever have vertigo?

[saltfly]

I got benign vertigo.Man,it feels like my brain is slopping around in side my head.The doc says it could take a couple of weeks for it to clear up.Driving is an adventure to say the least.No Mass Bass for me.The drive from the lower cape no way-jose'.

a few years back, I woke up and felt drunk. Room was spinning, went downstairs and threw up. The room kept spinning for 2 weeks, the doc perscriped antihistamines, which helped a lot.

the doctor gave me a script of Meclizine.3 a day,It has helped but as the day goes on I get a headache to add to the fun this wacks it!!

[Swimmer]

Didn't the doctor tell you not to drive?

I had an aunt years ago, who would wobble around, she was a nurse, said it was her vertigo, its funny how the Jack Daniels was disappearing from the bottle at the same time.

In all seriousness I am sure it is not pleasant. My mother-in-law gets it at least once a year. It results from injuries she received years ago when she was hit as a pedestrian. Screws her up for a week or two.

Go get the treatment at PT It worked for me I had benign vertigo it's hard to describe but the therepy works
also a drop of hydrogen peroxide in ear may help.
But I would seek professional help, one treatment helped I haven't had a episode since

inner ear infection maybe ....because thats where your balance
"gyroscope mechanism" ( for lack of a better description) is
that controls your equilibrium....

if you have a nasty sinus infection sometimes antibiotics ends that overnight
... how's your hearing in each ear now as compared to normal?

Yes today, right now after taking a couple percosets...I am seeing everything twice

Yes I have had it and it really sucks. I was prescribed a medicine called "Antivert" which seems to help greatly. The first time I got it was the morning of my daughters Kindergarten graduation and I literally couldn't lift my head without puking. Felt like my head weighed more than any part of my body. It's a truly sucky feeling.

My mother sufferes from that and also takes antivert..Sometimes it gets so bad she has to lie down .

saltfly ,yes physical therapy for the same thing it worked for me .
they put through a series of balance and coordination test and position your head in different positions its kind of freaky feeling doing all the stuff but it worked for me

Bob, go smoke a joint. Don't ask just do it.

Old home remedy, got a friend, he suffers from it as well, it's what "cures" it for him.

I just had it a few months ago. Was just a little sensation , then got bad with the car sickness like feeling then on to totally blowing chow. i went to the doctor , got 2 meds (including Meclizine) and even had to go to a Physical therapist for exercises that involved shaking my head , turning to the right and laying down to the left , etc , etc. A couple weeks later I started losing sleep. waking up first at 6:30 then 6 then 5:30 then 5. i read what could cause the sleep lose and it turned out my cholesteral medicine , which had just been changed caused sleep lose. Well I went back to old medicine and my vertigo went away immediately and totally. Anyway , if you take symvastatin and zetia , that could be causing your vertigo.

I'm doing fine now.Went to Bass Pro last weekend and no issues at all on the ride either way.Inside BP though,the headache came back mostly due to sensory overload.I'm going to run the jon-boat today in Big Cliff.That will be the real test.
