went and looked up Epley and Semont maneuvers... very cool! seems a real solution is available for some folks... always better than a compensatory solution.

Had another dizzy spell this morning. I think I'm going to contact an ENT (Ear Nose Throat) specialist tomorrow. The doctor that I saw last week was Family Practice, so not sure how much further she can help me besides referring me.

They help retrain your inner ear. It is also thought that the cause of vertigo is calcium deposits that float in the inner ear fluid has come to rest on the small bones in the ear. the exercise can cause them to move thereby relieving the vertigo. The sucky thing about vertigo is that there is no definitive test for it, all symptom are subjective (can only be told by the person experiencing them, not by concrete proof) and the diagnosis is usually reached by ruling out all other possible causes. It is a very poorly understood condition.

No definitive test? Well that's not good.
