Have been dealing with Benign Positional Vertigo for over two weeks! Have been to 2 doctors, it is suppose to "correct itself" Anyone else deal with this and do you have any suggestions of how to make it go away ! I want to quilt again! Thanks.......

I suffer BAD vertigo. The only thing that seems to help me is to just stay in bed with my eyes closed. I have motion sickness patches that you put behind your ear that is supposed to help...but they never have helped me. I hope you get rid of it soon. My last bout of vertigo lasted 17 days. Was HORRIBLE.

I've suffered with that and its horrible so you have my sympathy. there are exercises you can do to shift the crystals in your ear to a better position..(I was shown by a clinical scientist at the hospital how to do it) Just Google BPPV and try the exercises...they do work I promise you!
Its called Epleys maneuver

Thanks,Everyone! It helps to know others have gone through the same thing and gotten over it. The spinning is better, but the dizzy is still here. It seems to come and go. It's worse when I first get up. I have been doing the Eply Maneuver, glad to know it works!(eventually) I'll keep doing it! Have used the patch as well, with some help, at least not as bad, but not gone. Glad I'm not alone, mysery loves company I guess, lol....thanks again!
