it is time to see a sub-specialist (a otoneurologist -- an ent that specializes in inner ear disorders) and have a new work-up. there are numerous types of vertigo so it would be good to have a new evaluation. things may have changed since you were ten. unfortunately there are not very many things that can be done but there are more treatments and medications out there depending the type of vertigo that you have. i have seen an ent many times. never find anything. i've found the epley maneuver to be helpful. there are several youtube videos that show how to do the maneuver (you need another person to help you) but i found this one by peter johns <link> to be very helpful. it may not work the first time but it should eventually work unless you have something major causing your vertigo. if it's been a long time since you've had an mri you may want to have another one done just to be sure there's nothing ominous causing your dizziness. i know it's frustrating; i've had to leave work early and have missed days of work because of vertigo. i'm a high school teacher and am always busy busy busy but taking care of ourselves is important. i find that when i'm extremely tired and stressed that's when it tends to hit. good luck!
what kind of treatments or tests are out there for vertigo? i have had vertigo since i was 10. nothing has helped. mri when i was 10 was clear water drip tests made me dizzy. i had been dealing but now it is back and happening in my sleep (8 mos. )! a specialist diagnosed me (17 yrs later) with benign parox. pos. vertigo but the videonystagmus revealed no abnormal eye movements. i can only sleep on one side. i have an attack in a dream wake up and everything is moving. i get sick all day it's very violent and then have to take suppositories. meclizine only helps me with so much. any suggestions? help!
