Brandt & Daroff Exercises for Positional vertigo

[Tuckervill]

I had a terrible case of vertigo last year - went through a battery of tests and treatments - they did not work. Had to wear a neck brace for 24 hours and sleep upright - no improvedment. Over the next few weeks things slowly improved and doctor decided i had probably picked up a nasty virus which settled in my inner ear or that the neck adjustments i had been receiving had disloged the stones in my inner ear - whatever the problem it did resolve itself and i was one happy camper!

My son had a virus for about 10 days which caused him to be unable to walk straight. He was about 10 at the time so his description of symptoms was not thorough. I just remember wherever we had to go he had to lean against my shoulder or he would literally walk into the walls. The rest of the time he spent on the couch because he just couldn't do what he wanted to do. There were never any other symptoms. It was kind of scary--mystery virus, was all the doc could say.

Glad to hear your cyrstals have settled. I had vertigo brought on by a chiropractor snapping my neck around (then denying that the increasingly long dizzy spells had anything to do with it. I'll stick to acupuncture, thanks)
One spell was so bad that I wound up pulling over on a dark lonely country road, on my hands and knees, puking my guts out and having no idea what was wrong with me.) The home exercises cleared the problem in 2 sessions!
