Guess not, krik.
Like I said, no spinning. So dizzy, though, that I was nauseous when I was not in reclined position, sometimes to the point of vomiting.
Vestibular therapy can help for either vertigo, or dizziness.

There is are a couple of maneuvers they do to dislodge these "rocks" (I think Epley Maneuver is the one they wanted DD18 to do but after another episode they determined it was not BPPV). Moving my head does not bring on the dizziness/vertigo and the NP tried to bring it on in the office and it didn't happen. The only thing that did happen was when she laid me back with a pillow under my shoulders I got extremely nauseous. Once I sat up, I was fine. Weird.
Cyn - Thanks!  I think I am on my 4th week of this.
