hey dinah,
I had an episode of vertigo following a particularly raucous amusement park ride. Unlike your benign positional vertigo, I had knocked my otolith (an inner ear crystal) out of it's place and the fluid was sloshing through my semicircular canals all willy-nilly.

I looked up the Epley maneuver online and had a friend (she had recently fallen off a horse) coach me through it. After a few head manipulations, I felt about 80 % better. It took about a month, but it went away.

I felt SO sick for a while. Had to sleep sitting up. well didn't really sleep very well at all.

Well, yeah, it is scary. Didn't have great health insurance either, so I used dramamine and benedryl and peptobismol

(((((((dinah)))))))))
