update on my vertigo

Wow, have I missed a lot while I was out of town for a week. Still trying to get caught up. I left right after I had some testing done for my vertigo and received the results while I was on vacation. The diagnosis is BPPV which is, as some of you already know, Benign paroxsymal positional vertigo. The remedy is a few rounds of physical therapy and I should be good as new. Basically what happens is that these crystals that form in the ear become dislodged and cause the vertigo. My ENG test came back very positive for BPPV. I am so relieved and thankful it isn't anything worse. Once again, the sisters on here were right. I am telling you, if you ever want support, help or advice, this is one heck of a place to find it. Some of you hit it right on the head with that diagnosis. Thank you..I start pt in a few weeks.
