HER2 Support Group Forums - View Single Post - checking out my vertigo and need prayers

I too had a bout with vertigo...and was so sure that it was something fatal, I suffered with it for 2 months before finally going to the ER. I insisted on an MRI (and got one!). It turned out to be vertigo, plain and simple...and eventually cleared up. It is so true that we worry about every little pain...let us know how your appointment goes!
