Dizziness & Vertigo Support Group

Dizziness is the sensation of instability. Vertigo refers to dizziness with a sensation of motion. Vertigo is more likely than other types of dizziness to be associated with nausea, vomiting, or double vision, to occur even when lying down, and to feel better with the eyes closed. If you are a frequent sufferer of dizziness or vertigo, join the group and find support.

I am a dizzy person, but have not had any symptoms in several years. I run a balance center program, and I participate in both the Dizzinews and Meniere's Discussion Group support email lists.

Are you folks interested in having someone who works in this area join your discussions?

I wish I could find someone out here in California who helped people out with the dizziness. I know that with BPPV you need to do the vestibular excersices. Any sugesstions? LBK 2000

I am a vestibular scientist. I run a balance center that provides diagnostic testing and physical therapy rehabilitation. We work in concert with a neurotologist (an ENT with additional fellowship training who subspecializes in hearign and balance disorders).

A good resource for finding medical professionals interested in seeing dizzy patients is:

BPPPV is usually quite easy to fix with the Epley maneuver. If the Epley has not helped, other diagnoses must be considered.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
