Anyone had it? I've had the thing for a month now.
I'm doing the Brandt-Daroff exercises and getting fed up.
What are those exercises, Brandt-Daroff, Morticia, not heard of those.

Re: Vertigo ... or BPPV
Morty, ask you doctor.....1) Is this connected to the awful experience that put you in hospital?
2) Get your vitamin D levels checked, as there is growing evidence linking BPPV with bone loss and with low levels of vitamin D.
Many people in the UK have low vitamin D levels, owing to lack of sun, and my doctors believe that we should all take vit D supplements through the winter.
It may seem a small problem but, if you establish what is causing it, you may be able to find a simple way of stopping it.

BPPV is the most common cause of vertigo. ... Past research has shown that vitamin D deficiency is linked with the development of vertigo. In fact, scientists have confirmed that vitamin D receptors are located on calcium channel transport systems in the inner ear and help regulate proper calcium balance.
I have sent her a PM as she may not be aware if this.

Re: Vertigo ... or BPPV
How awful for you .I woke one morning , sat up and fell off the bed . I dont know how I got it or what it was . I rested for 3 days and it went .
A week later I drove to the hospital for physiotherapy on my frozen shoulder . The physio was quite rough with me and after he left me in the curtained off area I fell again . I called out but the department was empty. I managed to walk along the wall up the stairs along a corridor to the reception area without falling but I must have looked drunk. Doctor took me in her room tested me for stroke etc . I went home in a taxi . I was given some tablets and after 2 days I got better . I've never had it since and I hope I never do . I've heard about this manoeuvre which puts the Crystal's back where they belong . You poor thing I really hope you get well .
P.s. my sister had it and would sit on her bed and throw herself onto her side it made her very poorly too but it did the trick
Get well soon Morticia

Re: Vertigo ... or BPPV
Can l ask if any of you that suffer with this ailment have had your ears syringed in the past?I know ear syringing can be connected to the cause of Tinnitus and l wondered if it can attribute to dizziness.
My sister suffers with both and she has her ears syringed.
I’m probably talking a load of nonsense but it does make you wonder?
