Friday 1st of OCTOBER Champee AGAIN, page-108

Bending over to tie your shoe laces or bending your head back and looking UP both can worsen the condition. Or looking from left to right or vise versa makes the head "swim".

My Dr gave me anti-nausea drugs to slow down the dizziness and although I do not get nauseous they do seem to work. I feel for people who get it real bad and are bed ridden for a week and very unwell. My own condition lays me low for a day or two then slowly diminishes over a few more days..

I also get slight tinnitus which could also contribute ( Ménière's disease is a disorder of the inner ear that causes severe dizziness (vertigo), .... but as I've said my symptoms although are disruptive are not too serious so I just live with it.

We sailed a catamaran from NZ to Florida 1987 the first port of call was Easter Island after 35 days at sea in very rough conditions , when I went ashore I couldn't stand due to the motion of the ocean still in my system ?, the whole Island was swaying and moving, I sat on the ground to steady myself and it took a couple days hanging onto lampposts etc until I got my balance back, I never suffered from vertigo prior to that voyage ??? and I was the only crew member of 6 not to get sea sick in fact I have never suffered from travel/ motion sickness ever.

I believe vertigo is something we have to live with if we suffer from it. The best we can do is try to lessen the severity . Mine also seems to be less frequent as I age,

@W0mb@t sounds like our vertigo levels are similar in that we get it but are not too severe ...
