Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo
03/15/17 at 15:44:30

Woke-up Sunday morning so dizzy I couldn't walk ! Went to seek medical help Monday and got some meds . Now , Wednesday afternoon I'm still not ready for a bike ride . This stuff could WRECK a week-long bike ride ! I understand the only cure is some kinda physical therapy to put the "Crystals inside the enter ear back to floating mode instead of stuck inside the cones or tangled in the rings . I'm working on getting schuled for the training on how to do the "cure" .

I have bi-lateral meniere's disorder and it was misdiagnosed numerous times. I kept getting vertigo & dizziness that would last for a day up to a week straight. The real bad stuff usually goes away after 10 years. I have come across a handful of people who ended up with the same problem who really had no idea what was going on. I had it for years before someone helped me, but I have never fully recovered.

Best regards,

BPPV can result from a head injury or simply occur among those who are older. A specific cause is often not found. The underlying mechanism involves a small calcified otolith moving around loose in the inner ear. [...] BPPV is not a serious condition. Typically it resolves in one to two weeks. It however may recur in some people.[...] Onset is typically in the person's 50s to 70s

Re: Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo Reply #10 - 03/15/17 at 21:24:31 Depends on whether the feedback is in synch or out of faze. If you think it's getting worse because of the beer, turn ninety degrees, if it keeps getting worse, turn ninety degrees again.

I'm gonna tell him about the stuff you've got. He's been researching it, herbs and other voodoo. If it makes you dizzy... what happens when you do the stuff that makes you dizzy?

Doctor gave me some "chew and swallow" pills to knock me out keep my eyes closed while it fixes itself ... there may be a shrunken 6 pk in each one of them ? Grin

Hi MM

Sorry to hear that you're having a bout of BPPV.

My wife has had recurring episodes of BPPV for several years now.
The doctor told her to do the "Epley Maneuver" to stop the dizzies
and it works quite well for her.
It's similar to the "Canalith Re-positioning Maneuver".

Here's the instructional video for the Epley Maneuver that her doctor
instructed her to follow:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SLm76jQg3g

There are dozens of similar videos on You Tube for the maneuver.

Actually ... it looks to me like you could accomplish these same
head maneuvers with a spirited ride on the Dragon Grin

Best wishes to you in getting some relief.

Bummer Dude........it might affect the way you smoothly caress the curves on the Dragon.

Hopefully this is a temporary and minor affliction, and it will go away soon.

Getting older is a bit scary at times.....I have been having an occasional ocular migraine incident lately. My vision gets a bit blurry and I can only see about half the letters on the computer screen - it lasts about 10 minutes and then goes away. It doesn't have any cure or serious issues from what I have read, and it is not so serious that I can't continue to function.

I just got a bigger computer monitor given to me this morning...that should help me see a bit better!
