      Mary, I am so sorry you had to go through all of that. Darn girl, you have had a rough time. If it happens again, please don't block up out. I have clinical depression as well. Hard to beat those dark days. Hear if you need to talk. May have to leave a message and I'll get back asap. I am so glad you are ok, and are back with us.

    • Close Dizziness & Vertigo

      I had vestibular vertigo, they had to take my by ambulance, stayed in hosp 3 day, and had therapy for 4 weeks, it is bad, I couldnt stand or sit up, I used a walker to get around and couldnt drive for 5 weeks, I still have dizziness that caused me not to drive and not to be alone if I go anywhere. I was taught how to do certain excersies to help if the vertigo gets as bad as it was, PT has to teach you, so you dont hurt yourself

      Treatments

      Physical Therapy Working / Worked
      I was on different meds for nausea, Pt helped immensly. I still have some dizziness, and residual ringing in the ears, my vertigo was called to inner ear infection.
