Re: Vertigo
Have much sympathy with Vertigo sufferers. Had it myself 2-3 times in short bouts but it's completely debilitating.
One time I turned up at my parents house got as far as the welcome mat just inside the door when it hit me like a truck. The entire room was spinning madly and I could do nothing but lie on the floor on that welcome mat for about 5 mins. I then slowly crawled my way across the floor into the lounge and lay on the sofa for 30 mins. Really awful.
As one other poster has highlighted the "Epley" Manoeuver is definitely worth trying. Vertigo can often be caused by crystals in the ear canal and the manoeuver helps drain it out. There's a great Youtube clip here which explains it.
