Hello All, I'm not only a "newbie" to the NeuroTalk Forum but I'm also new to forums in general. I stumbled upon your website yesterday as I was researching Vertigo in hopes of finding someone who might offer some advise from experience or from knowledge. My story (I'll try to keep it short)-My first bout of Vertigo was in September of 1996 (1-2 minutes). The second, and by far the worse, was in October 1996 (1 day of spinning followed by 4 days of regaining my equilibrium). I didn't have another bout until May of 2000. Since then I've moved from California to Colorado and the episodes are more frequent (although not regular). I can go for over a year without an episode or I can have several in one month. It can be full on spinning or just a creeping sensation. I had an MRI and xrays in 2005 which found osteoarthritis in my neck. I believe the vertigo is associated with my neck and not my ears as the odd creeping, hood-like feeling radiates from the small of my neck and often feels like a tuning fork has been placed there. My doctor is flumuxed and has prescribed meclazine (half a tablet knocks me out) which I take as needed, usually on onset of spinning but not when I feel the creeping sensation. I'm 51, perimenopausal, have never smoked, infrequently drink, healthy diet, hike most every weekend and walk a minimum of 30-60 minutes a day. I was diagnosed with essential tremors in 2001. I'm open to alternative medicine as I've seen chiropractors and acupunturists for other ailments in the past. I've even seen several chiropractors for my neck but am still looking for one which I feel confident with and I can see on an as needed basis (I often need to schedule an appointment a week in advance, no matter what the problem or urgency of the problem). Any suggestions or advise?
