Yes!

A couple of staff in my Department had vertigo from crystal in the Cochlea. The treatment was some sort of moving the head to different positions. It worked but she had to go back and have repeat treatment.

Ok, now I know I'm heading back to my ENT doc.

I knew someone that had that.... she too went through the physical repositioning therepy. It happened after a car accident.
Jarring loose the crystals.

What made me think virus was the fact that I had Bells Palsey a year or so ago. from that I weent to blood pressure meds and eventually to Type 2 diabetes meds.... I assumed the issue had been the new meds.... But its gone way beyond a temporary adjustment period and the past few months I have felt like i had a bobble head.

Like when Id turn my7 head my brain would take a quarter second to ct catch up. Fortunately for me I adapted to it so I can drive but walking about could be an adventure without my walker.

I am going to try the over the counter alternatives and see what works best. with the change in medical assistance I dont expect to have medical coverage till I qualify for medicare in four years... I just hope they keep up on my medicines for now.

Oh my goodness..just yesterday I was saying to my cousin, walking is harder on me than driving! And yes, this is a good way to explain it. Brain taking a while to catch up. People keep asking me if I am dizzy, I say it's hard to describe. But, I can tell, that it's in the middle of my head. In fact, I feel numb inbetween my ears..in my head. I know..weird! The room isn't so much rotaing, but the walls are like magnets. I feel like I am being pulled to a wall..or just pulled backwards. My cane has saved me from a few falls..and my husbands arm. Going out to the chickens..I am walking with my head down, and very slowly. Now, bending over with head down, makes me feel waaay buzzy in my head. I'm tellin ya..I'm weird. :/

I don't know how they discovered it, but I'll ask her next time I see her if I think about it.

There are a lot of youtube videos about excercises to help with vertigo, perhaps check them out and see if any of them help you.

Pretty funny, watching 'Morning Joe' this morning, try not to watch the news anymore, it's become pretty ridiculous, really don't think they realize they've tuned out half the country. Anyway that Joe guy was rambling on about nonsense and that Mika chick said "If you don't stop Joe I'm going to start talking about my chickens" apparently she has chickens Lol

Googled it and saw she had a tweet about getting her daughter hens that lay blue eggs,

Talk about more ridiculousness, wow some people that commented on her tweet.....dang, couldn't just keep it chicken related, little bash fest....
Someone even said 'you know your rich when you buy blue egg laying hens as pets'......

Going out to start on making some roll out nest boxes, hopefully for nice clean hatching eggs. Thinking of making them 'community style'? long with no dividers.
Anyone ever use nest boxes with no dividers? Just figure it will be much easier, and hear the hens don't fight over the one or two favorite boxes out of six, eight, ten, boxes that they never use.

My plans.... I need a drawer you probably dont There should be enough room in there for four LF hens if they chose to lay at the same time. Its about 36 by 18 footprint you can just extend the sloped floor out and put a lid over it.... and not bother with a drawer.

Yep!

I hope to be hatching both UofA blue egg layers and crosses using Trader Joes hens.

Show off! Trader Joe eggs..

One of them lays an egg up to 95G! It is too big to fit into my egg cartons.

Sadly, Whole Foods in Davis was closed this week. They have good fertile eggs too.
