It's Not Hitchcock's Vertigo - Vertigo Symptoms and Treatment

Sue,

It is awful, but for me it was never again as frightening as the first time, when I didn't know what was wrong with me. Once you understand what you're dealing with, you can logically take steps to ease symptoms, knowing that your life is not in danger. It is something which surfaces periodically with me, but I have a feeling that it manifests itself differently in others.

My first episode of vertigo was the strongest and it lasted for seven (seemingly endless) hours. It was less severe when I sat still in a recliner without moving my head.

Subsequent episodes have been much shorter, from a few brief moments to several hours. It has been much easier to handle once I understood what it was and what to do about it.

It doesn't bother me very often, so I do not take perscription meds for vertigo. I do take dramamine as needed, but it has a rather limited effect.

Are you having trouble with vertigo?

yes, it's been 8 days now, my neurologist wants me to do pulse steroids IV, i probably will, thanks for your reply

Why, thank you!
