Anyone had any experience dealing with Vertigo

Yep. Resulting in the room spinning two times over several years. Not something I ever want to happen again. O.o

Not sure what caused the first round, the second was set off just by a glimpse of the ceiling fan. Go figure.

After a major workup, lots of tests, including an MRI, it was traced to an inner ear problem.

I have to take Meclizin 25 mg, twice a day, and a third if needed.

Once taking those, the room spins have not returned. Tho occasional dizzy spells. And my balance is still somewhat affected, and see the Neurologist for that.

Haven't really noticed a pattern with mine being around the seasons tho. Will pay attention to that for future episodes, if any.

Weird thing is I have felt vertigo for the last week. Only for a few seconds. Im not sure if it was the Acetyl carnitine powder I have been taking.

Yes I had it for about a day a few years ago, googled how to fix it.
And it worked!

Now there’s even a video




If this technique does not work maybe something more serious is going on.

Yes. I saw the restored version when it first came out at The Michigan Theatre.

Oh... Wrong Vertigo. Damn. I must be dizzy. Hold me.

:holdme:

thanks for sharing. i have tried that meclizin. october is usually worst month for me. when those big fronts come thru during the winter. really sets me off.

Interesting. Thanks

Had the same symptoms about a year ago. My Doc sent me to the Neurologist. He sent me to another specialist that had me put on a nifty set of goggles that measured my eye movements as she moved my head around and induced the vertigo. She made some observations and sent me to the Physical Therapist who laid me on my back and rotated my head through a semi complex rotation, and no more vertigo. The problem was some of the “crystals” in the inner ear had become trapped in the wrong area. Basically that repositioned the strays back with the others, and the problem was solved.
I got to say I had my crystals realigned and smile,😏! Plus pay the bill, but hey I got my crystals realigned!!

Yes, and a little over two weeks of taking 2000 IU's of D3 made it go away.

Have your D levels checked. I bet they're low.

I always carry bonine in my purse. I can’t even look down while riding in a car without feeling loopy. They have chewable raspberry generic pills. You just need a little nibble and that helps you feel normal. Too much and you get sleepy. You’ll figure it out if disrupts your life enough.

They are always on low side

Yes, but mine was from multiple intracerebral and intracranial hemorrhages, and the sequela thereafter. So I'm not able to help with remedial advice.

meclizine otherwise known as antivert worked wonders the one time i had a serious case of vertigo. And in a very short time.

used to have no problems, then one day i went sky diving, now when i get more than a foot of the ground its all fuckery in the swede :D

Meditate more.

the earth is electromagnetic with polarities and YOU are the same... toroidal fields. you are connected to earth and thus earth's fields and polarity. I've experienced some vertigo and have found diet adjustments and meditation are really helpful in preventing it.
