I was wondering if anyone on here has ever had to deal with Vertigo? In case you are unaware, think back to when you were a kid and you would spin around and then try to get up and run or even walk to a certain but you kept falling over....that is Vertigo.
It is truly amazing how much thiings in life get taken for granted when you can do them without even thinking. It could be something as simple as going for a walk, eating, or even not having to be on a schedule to take pills so that you can get through the day.

I don't mean to depress anyone but with a slew of other medical crap, I now get to deal with this Vertigo which makes it somewhat difficult to walk the dog, lay down or get up from a bed or just walk across a room. I have tried medications but since they don't know what causes it, they don't know how to fix it aside from "Maybe it will clear up in time". The scary thought is that some poor people have to live their entire lives this way and worse so I really have no place to bitch and moan.

I was just hoping that maybe someone knows someone who found a way to clear this up. I am currently trying to find a doctor who can help me with some exercises called "Vestibular Exercises" which I am hoping will help if I could only find a doctor around here that isn't booked up until August at the earliest.

Thanks for listening to my spewings. It does help to at least get it off your chest so you don't feel you are handling things all alone which is how it always seems to feel when you are dealing with health issues.

Have a great rest of the weekend and get out there and have some fun if you can.

Yeah, I went through the neurological testing with 3 different doctors and they say it is usually the fluid in the inner ear that can have crystals which weren't found, extra pressure which wasn't there, an infection which couldn't be found but went through all the anti-biotics anyway just to be safe (which always makes me nervous considering these super bugs that are created due to doctors being too willing to throw anti-biotics at everything) which is why I am kinda lost at the moment now.
I do appreciate the suggestion and input.

OOPS...I forgot to check back here last night. Did you find a soloution???

When my grandmother passed away, I got the job of cleaning out the cabniets. She had some meds for dizzyness. I looked and one of the side effects was dizzyness. This post problebly won't help but just a little laugh might, cuz i thought it was funny.

I've dealt with this for about a year now. Whenever I lean back and look up or if I lay down on my right side, the world spins. Drives me nuts. I've seen a doc about it, and pretty much told me I have to deal with it.

It is embarrassing. I look up at something and I look like I'm drunk stumbling around trying to catch the world around me. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. I didn't get any scans or anything, just pretty much told a doctor about it during a regular visit and they checked my ears and said I was fine and it would go away.

Suicide..I'm SO sorry you're going through all of this!! I will light a candle for you. And try to send you some Reiki.

I'm dealing with a bulging disc right now (S5) and my left leg has been NUMB for ..what?/..2 ..3 months... It gets that prickly, don't touch me feeling and sometimes feels like it's on fire.

But..unless i come up with $800.00 for an epideral shot, there's not much they can do about it

So, I'm on the same page with you in the aggravated part!
