    Thank you for this info Faye. People don't realize how easy it is to get a head injury.

    As far as a DIY home version, this method has shown great success and is certainly easy to do.

    I'll have to try this next time I try to lok up to see if a tree limb is about to hit me. Last time I looked up it was almost " TIMBER' backwards! So now if I want to lookup, I hold onto something or I sit down first, which isn't fun sitting on the ground.
    I'll check these ladies out tonight. Thanks

    With that Navage/ear thing you got going on and this balance issue, you need to see a doctor before trying other remedies.

    I don't give unsolicited advice, but I just did.

    Your right and I agree, no more DIY remedy's. I don't trust doctors either now, but I will see them if given no choice.

    It sucks, doesn't it?

    I'm getting ready to a urology appointment next Wednesday and I'm working on my sales pitch to get a preventative maintenance antibiotic prescribed. I hope I'm pushing for the right remedy, and it stinks that no one with an MD after their name is pursuing a fix.

    Don't let it progress so far that you'll later regret it.

    @Marie Mallery Yes, have a doctor check out your ear as balance issues have many causes. If you have a perforated eardrum don't blow your nose and put a cotton ball in that ear to protect it and see a doctor. The most important is don't bow your nose EVER, suck it up like a country girl.

    This is meant for BPPV only and is not advisable if you have other inner ear issues.

    Thanks for adding that. I just didn't want him to think he had to visit a PT to try and Epley maneuver. I myself had that, and it caused me great difficulties until I found the Epley myself. I believed for a while I had Meniere's, since my vertigo was accompanied by asymmetrical hearing loss. I performed the Epley on myself and the vertigo was "cured", although the hearing loss has remained and worsened.
