hello!! I had to quit machine sewing when I got permanent vertigo because of the motion sickness triggered by the fabric moving under the needle. Well now I can sew again!!!!!!!
Those seabands really work!! although mine had to be really tight before they worked, so I can't wear them 24/7. but O the the joy!!!!! Thought I would pass this on!!! I am so out of practice but I feel like someone took 100 pounds off of me!!! Will try to post a picture of my first effort soon. There is a lot not right with it but I am still happy with it!!!!!!

I had the same thing...there are stones in your inner ear, just like kidney stones. I had to do physical therapy and was treatment to move those stones in my ear. I thought....this is crazy, had never heard of it. But....dang it...it worked and I have never had the problem again. In my area there is only one trained guy who knows how to do this. Its a fairly new discovery I think. you can read about it online too.

I've had vertigo and it is really awful. I was seen by an ear nose and throat specialist who did testing and treatment that was effective, unpleasant, but effective. I followed that up at home with some maneuvers called Epley maneuvers. You can google it and find examples. It helped keep the vertigo from returning. I hope you continue to be able to sew. It's a bummer when you can't. Good luck!

how wonderful that they work for you. i tried them for actual sea-sickness when sailing and they didn't work. maybe i didn't have it tight enough.

I had to do the same thing. I also saw a chiropractor who put my neck & back back into alignment; at one point he also did some acupuncture techniques that did the trick.

sounds like fluid on the inter ear....I had to take meds when even laying down caused it...good luck

Oh, congratulations! Everything in moderation.

I have vertigo from MS and the only thing that works for me is Mechlezine (Dramamine). I have to have a supply with me at all times for those times the vertigo breaks through. But it works - that's all that matters - and it's not habit forming, according to my Neurologist.
