Senoufou, just before the Easter break this year I woke in the middle of the night with severe vertigo, which I had never experienced before, except for a couple of very mild episodes a long time ago.

I did a Google search and found out about The Epley Manoeuvre

This works only if the problem is the little particles swishing around in the chamber of your ear and setting off the balance receptors (that's the highly technical description - not!). You also need to know which ear has the problem. I knew it was my right ear because when I lay on my right side and then sat up, the problem occurred.

Read all the information and decide if it is worth a try. There are also videos online showing how to do it, but look for the one by Dr John Epley himself. Interestingly, the medical community pooh-poohed his technique for many years until there was enough of a wave of satisfied clients to turn the tide.

Prior to finding out about the EM, I was vomiting and off my food for a couple of weeks. When I used the EM, it fixed it within a few attempts.

I told my doctor that I didn't need him, because I had found Doctor Google. He laughed. Some wouldn't. LOL
