I'm so happy you got a definitive dx Rina. When my ENT told me that was my problem, I was amazed because I never even heard about it before.....and now I keep hearing about other women getting it all the time. Will your physical therapy involve the Epley maneuver? That was the cure for my vertigo - one manipulation by my ENT and I was cured the next day........it did come back the following summer but by then I figured out what was going on and was able to do the maneuver myself. I have learned to avoid sudden neck movements (similar to whiplash) - no more rollercoaster rides for me (except for this ride with BC) and I also notice that changes in altitude can bring it on again - like when we go to the mountains for a week in the summer - I always get vertigo when we return home. But the Epley maneuver takes care of it for me. Hope they teach you the technique - you can find it on Youtube.
