Re: Vertigo anyone?

Hi Cal-Gal,

I had severe Vertigo too about a month or so ago. I would wake up in the middle of the night and feel the whole room revolving to the point I would throw up. Fortunately, my MRI came back clean too.

I saw an ENT and was told I had some inflammation in the ear. One Ibuprofen before going to bed helped me sleep peacefully and after a week, it stopped on its own.

A lot of ladies here told me that it is very common to develop Vertigo after Chemo due to vestibular damage.

hugs,
shobha
