Positional Vertigo
Comments (16)As long as this is on the ear & problems, may I ask this seemingly crazy question?: I can make my ears "click'! At first I would just notice it when I swallowed but then realized I can do it at will .... the 'clicking' but doctors just looked at me like I was kidding! My sister has it also & says her son can actually hear it when she does it! Now is this crazy or what or can others do it.. & is is heriditary? I was told people are told to try & do this in airplanes to eqalize the pressure but a lot of persons find it difficult to do ... surely not ME!! Sorta like 'cracking one's knuckles' out of boredom?! Sorry for this distraction! My sister-in-law has the ear problem of this type of vertigo for years & also was shown how to lay down in the proper position & do the things mentioned by others. It helped for a while but soon the vertigo took over her life & she was an invalid from it! Had a surgery to severe a nerve in that ear but was warned she might lose her hearing in that ear permanently ... and she did! She says losing the hearing was less worse than the awful vertigo/vomiting/falling she experienced before!...See MoreVertigo Info?
Comments (10)Sushipup, and Emma, thanks for the responses, as I knew before I wrote there was no "cure" I was hopeful to find out if there would be some exercises to sort of keep the darn thing at bay.I have no idea what brings it on, I flip sides all nite to assure that crystals hopefully stay where they belong, and use the dizziness patch so that I can get around. That is such a nasty life if you can't get something of a handle on it. Seems to come in waves, I can go months without trubble, and then there it is, but I believe is my own fault, I am in the midst of garden cleanup here, and lots of bending with head lower that knees sometimes, that really triggers things, but I want to live a somewhat normal life, so I do keep that ace tucked in my pocket. For those that never have something like this, I surely hope they are grateful it doesn't happen to them Thanks again for the responses, much appreciated, and sooo glad to know I am not alone, is good to stick together. I do try those exercises and doc has given me sheets of stuff to try, but sometimes it lasts longer than I care to have it!!!!!!!!!!...See Morevertigo
Comments (13)Yes I do get it and just had a very bad episode a few weeks ago. WE have Menieres disease in our family and it is a major cause of a lot of peoples vertigo so you may ask your doctor about that. What is Minieres disease? I have had very good luck when I have these episodes if I have the Epley maneuver and my doctors have taught my husband and myself how to do it at home now. I also at times have it done at the doctors. It is amazing how such a small thing as a manipulation of the head can quickly remedy the horrible vertigo. At some times I do get extremely nauseated and vomit so I always keep a special nausea medication from my doctor available. What Is the Epley Maneuver? Epley's maneuver video of the maneuver there are many youtube videos of this. It is absolutely worth asking your doctor to perform on you it can make the episodes end almost immediately....See MoreMy latest shopping deals and how about yours? Any Deals out there?
Comments (33)mama....it has flip potential, buuuuut......DH is in love with the 700 sq ft shop.....with radiant heat flooring, 16' high ceilings and dormer windows. :0) I've agreed to live here 2 years, then we'll see. :0) Plywood flooring has always been around. They used to paint it like a throw rug. I like my subfloor to be protected. I've gotton deals on porcelain tile at Lowes for .10cents a sq ft(discontinued stock). I'd do a poor tiling job with no hardibacker before I'd leave a floor plywood. If you wear out or wear down the subfloor, there's nothing left. If you spend the money on another layer of plywood, then you can afford these flooring options. JMO my .10cent deal I did a tub surround, hallway & floors in 2 bathrooms Or....hickory laminate. .89cents a sq ft. Lumber Liquidators. Should be available in a store near you... Your boyz & Aimees boyfriend could maybe be recruited to install it with you over seeing it. All you need is a hand saw and hammer for the laminate flooring install....See More- 3 years ago
