Vertigo

[livingwith]

In 2003 I was on vacation in FL when I had my first attack. All morning I’d been feeling nauseous and off. I was wasting time at a mall before catching a plane home when I got the spinning feeling.

It wasn't immediate but much better than the antivert medication. I agree with you that accepting it is the hardest as there is no warning of an attack. I had heard some incidences that people only get one attack but others it's a reoccuring thing which is hard for me to swallow, hoping and praying that it never comes back for me.

Did you ever try to go to ENT (ear neck throat doctor)? My regular doctor had suggested I go see one for preventive steps. If you haven't, it doesn't hurt to get checked out.

Hope the days get better for you...
