Hi all,

I was struck with "clinical" severe vertigo on Sunday, lessened over the next 2 days till yesterday, then came right back at me. Doc says it's stress maybe...but don't think it's RSD-connected.

Nonetheless, perhaps someone here has suggestions for dealing with it.
Just to be clear, this is not dizziness, this is like I'm still but the room is spinning round violently. Slight headache, when bad accompanied by nausea and vomiting. No balance, lurch like a drunk. Can't focus, so can't read, use computer etc, have to keep eyes closed to help control it.

Been prescribed stemetil and novomin (motion sickness meds)..but they aren't doing much....helps if I squeeze my skull hard near the temples...I had no idea vertigo was so horrid, or so disabling.

Little better today (so far, yesterday it started gently, then reared up again on my way back from town, very difficult to walk at all, but made it home..)

Hellsbells, if it's not one thing it's the other...anyone had this? anything help?
all the best
