My CFIDS and Allergist doctor, Dr. Dantini in Ormand Beach FL used to work with the space program at NASA.
I was in his office one day complaining of having vertigo after being bedridden with pneumonia for 3 1/2 weeks. He nonchalantly told me a story which I thought was a line of bolony but here is what he said: He said no astronaut walks off their space vehicle after landing, no matter how short the trip into space was, because during that time the brain loses track of were the floor is and finding the floor is the brain's full time job in all positions except lying down.
He told me to lie down and stand up again at a minimum of 6 times and a maxiumum of 20 times. This simple movement will re-program your brain to remember where the floor is. I was the biggest critic but I tried it because I DID NOT want to be on the pharma meds. And after 8 times of lying down and standing up the vertigo was gone and has not been back since.
I have passed these crazy sounding advice on to many other people at this time and have yet to find someone tell me that it just didn't work for them. Pretty cool huh? Yay and cudos out to Dr. Daniel Dantini, ENT/Allergist, Ormand Beach.
This information was not meant to be medical advice. I am not a doctor. I am only sharing what has worked for me. Good luck and peace be with you and all the jazz!!

This is amazing! I've been suffering from vertigo for about two decades and can't leave the house sometimes because it's so bad. Thanks for the wonderful help!
ReplyDeleteI also had Benign Paroxysmal Positioning Vertigo, caused by loose inner ear crystals in the inner ear that migrate while sleeping to the back-bottom inner ear balance canal, the so-called “posterior semi-circular canal.” Visit http://www.tampabayhearing.com/epley.php to get a do-it-yourself adjustment to correct it.
