Thanks for the link John. I will be interested to read about folks who have had the Epley Maneuver, as my physio friend said that might be on the books.

Poor Sue!  When it rains it pours doesn't it?  Hope this doesn't keep you down too long.

Sue, at one point my wife was feeling so bad she asked me to try the Eply Maneuver on her.

I did try, but I'm not exactly trained for the task...

She threw up!.

However, I'm sure it works if the person who's doing it knows what s/he is doing.

I was reading some post on the BPPV link you gave me and it had the same affect as watching (starting to watch) the YouTube videos of the surgery I had. Scared the living daylights out of me. I think I'll just take things as they come in future. Ignorance is bliss and all that.

Hi Sue:  Sorry to hear about your condition - hope you're over it soon.  I'll be praying for you.  A friend of mine was having similar symptoms and her Dr. told her it could be from too much salt in your diet.  Don't know if that could be a possiblilty with you, but if so, maybe ask your Dr.

Several weeks ago as a few of us were getting out of a canoe I fell into the water. The canoe hit one side of my head, and the oar hit this other side. I was knocked a bit senseless for a few mintues.

BPPV is caused by loose calcium crystals in the inner ear, and they were probably dislodged by the blow to the head I got from the oar.

Thanks Wolf....NOT!

I'm craving a bit of outdoors though, and may try to get out on my deck tomorrow to get some fresh air.

Well Sue, they say it comes in three's. Maybe this is the last of it. I have an inner ear problem too. Comes and goes. Get fluid buildup and then the yeast infection in my ear. It causes quite a bit of dizziness for several days to two weeks each episode. Maybe it is the Lord's way of keeping you off that foot. I'll put your name in the Temple if you wish for prayer. Once in the Temple you are prayed over during every session every hour of every day for two weeks. I just have to give them a first and last name. If you feel comfortable giving me that info you can email it directly to me at cathyscats@comcast.net to keep it private. Otherwise I will understand if you don't want to give a full name for privacy sake.

I will say prayers for you tonight. Feel better.
