[quote=CoriAmD]I too have suffered with vetigo - once so bad I spent 6 hrs. in emergency. the Dr. gave me an IV with "sea sickness" medicine that finally worked. After that, and several Dr.s and tests - I was diagnosed with Meniere's Disease (build up of fluid in inner ear)...
Thanks for this info, my husband's aunt has been having the same problems. Nothing the Dr's have done has helped any. I looked this up on the Mayo's website and it describes the exact symptoms. She has a Dr appointment tomorrow, I'll mention this to him and see about having her tested.

never had it in my life until one day a year ago - then BOOM - so dizzy I couldn't get up without help, had the pukes, poops, was exhausted, couldn't eat....literally laid on the couch for 4 days (lose 7 lbs though, that part was nice:) Missed an entire week of work...wouldn't wish it on anyone!

I get problems like that sometimes, I had a traumatic brain injury several months back that causes it, I do wear a patch behind my ear, the patch is called Transderm, maybe ask your doctor to see if this would be of any help for your situation.

My daughter found out that it was the Crystals in her ears that was causing her problem.
The doctor said to position yourself on the bed where- when you are laying down on your back your head is hanging off.
You will probably need someone else there because you will get dizzy and may need help getting back up.
First, sit up == turn your head to the right and lay back keeping your head to the right, and your head off of the bed. If you don't feel dizzy sit back up and turn your head to the left--lay back again keeping your head turned ---if you feel dizzy -- it's because the crystals have slipped out of place. STAY THERE for a minute or so. It's scarry when you get dizzy and you may even get sick to your stomach. When you do this and feel dizzy, have someone check your eyes, usually they are quivering. then you know it's the crystals and doing this two or three times a day for a week should help put the crystals back in place.
