My husband Terry had a vertigo problem about 6 years ago - he was at work and he collapsed into his machine (he is a toolsetter). He had to have a month off work and then didn't seem to get it again.

It is supposed to last from one to eight weeks, so the time line is right. I'm glad to hear it has never come back again for him. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Turned out to be Meniere's Syndrome (which is related to BPPV). She still has it, although it's much less severe than it used to be. Having seen how awful it made her feel, I know what you're going through and you have my sympathy. Wishing you a speedy recovery. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I am very sorry to hear that your wife is still experiencing symptoms, and in my selfishness hope beyond hope that mine go away, as it is not pleasant at all. My best wishes to your wife and hope that eventually, hers will go away too. Right now I am trying to look on the brighter side of things. Because I am an active person, I know that following the Doctor's orders to stay off my feet for a month (with my foot surgery) was going to be very hard. But with this constant dizziness, I am forced to stay off my feet. So you see, it's a blessing in disguise. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Maybe it has come along to make you rest, I think these things do come along for reasons sometimes. I'm sure it will go away if you rest. It's not very nice at all going so dizzy - Terry was lucky he didn't get killed or injured in the machine. He felt terrible for a month or so but he has never had the vertigo since.
