This could be Meniere's Disease. There is an ENT in Mobile, Alabama who specializes in it. Dr. Gacek. I believe his father also is a specialist and practices in Mass. He says it is the shingles virus or one if the other herpes viruses and treats it with Acyclovir 800 mg 3 x a day, then after 2-4 weeks you cut back to 1x a day. He does an injection in your ear of acyclovir and a steroid if the internal medication does not help your dizziness. He said sometimes the medication it has a hard time reaching the inner ear.
