I am still around, Can't go back to work

She had said they would put air in my ear and it really hits a lot of people hard and makes them sick so I am not to eat or drink anything the day of the test. I am NOT looking forwards to that! Anybody here ever had this test and know how long those effects last?

I think I might have had this test done on me years ago. I was having dizzy spells when I'd turn corners or stand up too fast. I went to an ENT and they did the test with air in my ears. I was so sick the lady had to grab the garbage can for me and I was crying uncontrollably. She said nobody has ever reacted like that before. But they did not have me not eat or drink that day, that I can remember.
My results were I had allergies and took Claritin to help. But once I moved up north again the Claritin made me too sleepy so I stopped and I haven't had the problem again.

I'm sorry you are missing work and are "grounded". But you just enjoy your extra time with the girls and I hope you are feeling better soon.

I have not read all the responses, but i have to tell you my mother has the worst vertigo you can possibly imagine, she is now on medication for it, and it works, she only gets a little dizzy now and then, and think it is coming on but it does not, i can ask her what it is called,if you like, the only drawback, the side effect is ,it tends to keep you awake at nights, my mother is a terrible sleeper at the best of times, so it is not good for that, but she cannot believe the change in her life, the room used to be spinning, she could not get up at all, totally disabled for how long it used to last, and she used to vomit with it as well, so i hope this helps you make a decision on your problem and to tell you there is indeed effective medication that works like a dream.

Thinking of you and understanding what hell this really is, lots of people have vertigo but can be mild as your's used to be, but until it becomes really bad they really have no idea just how bad it really is, take care.

Thank you Carole.. I never realized how bad it could be until this time. It just HIT and there it was.... no warning at all and it just don't seem to want to go away... stubborn! I only had it before for no more than 2 days and it was nothing compared to this time. Today was a good day, one of the best I have had since this started so now I got my hopes up.... Let's wait and see what tomorrow brings...
