Dizziness & Vertigo Support Group

Hi thank you for adding me.I was diagnosed with vertigo 18 months ago after surreing  a very severe attack combined with crippling back ache - so was unable to move around for 3 weeks - it finally went away without any treatment because by the time I was seen at the NHS it had gone.   Later discovered my vertig was probably caused by falling off a Segway and smashing the back of my head (was...

Hi,I was diagnosed with Benign positional vertigo, my attack was on July 7th.  I continue to have very short attacks at night, only in bed, when I flip around.I called the ENT that I saw a week ago.  His nurse called back and said I need to have a VNG at the hospital, which is some kind of balance test.  Does anybody know what that is or has had one?  I asked about a MRI, and  my primary doc...

I had a bppv (vertigo) episode a month ago on a cruise ship. This is the 4th time in my life I've had one so I'm aware of what it is. Scared the heck out of me, but I knew the maneauvers to do to get the crystals to fall back into place. Was down and out for a day. A few days later, got off cruise ship and for the past 3 weeks have dealt with what appears to be MDDS. Light headed, spatial and...

Hi. I'm Lee. I'm a 49 yo male and what started as bacterial sinusitis and pneumonia has now gone into vertigo, migraines, and cognitive memory loss. June 9 I was coughing. Now, I'm in a mess. I started seeing a chiropractor. My neurologist gave me pills and referred me to an ENT specialist. How many of you use a walking stick to move around? I'm wanting to be more independent. Thanks.
