Well here i am again...after two years of this BPPV and i'm still having attacks feb 2007,feb 2008 and now feb2009 is there a pattern here...i've had the EPLEY manoever done 3 times and i'm now waitting to have it done again...thank goodness for this site is all i can say it keeps me from going mad..its nice to find others suffering the same thing.
Can't believe it on Thursday the dizziness was back....i'm in bed again and turned onto my back and there it was. I'm soooo disappointed thought this was working ,i'm seeing the specialist again on Friday so hope they have answers for me.

On monday the 31 st i had my first appointment with and ENT specialist...i had all the hearing tests and the marching on the spot with your eyes closed.....can't believe i turned from facing at 12 oclock to 9 and it didnt even feel as if i moved from the spot.
Turns out i do have BPPV and i had the epley maneuver done...which wasn't as bad as i thought it would be...did the sleeping at 45 degress for 5 days...must say the dizziness has gone, still have the bad headache at times.
Going back again on the 18th.

It's been ages since i updated this....iv'e now had the epley done 3 times ans i needed to do it once at home which was very scary but i'm pleased to say that fingers crossed all the dizziness and headaches are gone!!!! i'm still to scared to sleep on the left side and still sleep on 2 or 3 pillows but i can live with this it's 99% better than a few months ago i have even been on my first holiday abroad.... so anyone else out there get yourself a good ENT specialist and try everything.
