The boring thread.....

Lovely sunny day here.  I've been out with my neighbour to a plant and junk shop place  for coffee and cake.

Slept again, in a chair this time...

My dizzy vertigo turns which I get if I sit up too quickly are labrynthitis,  I have exercises to do, but I haven't done them for a while.
There's a manoeuvre called Epley which a trained doctor r chiropractor can do which is meant to cure it.

Funny enough,  I asked my GP about the Eppley mannoeuvre  only today, Ruthio.
She wasn't sure if any of the GP's were qualified to do it,  but is going to enquire.
Failing that,  some Physio's can do it.    
I am receiving help from a nice Physio at the moment,  so when I go back to see her I will enquire there as well.

One Doc suggested I had something called  Vestibular Neuritis though.   Something to do with inner ear problems.   
My horrid dizzy turns can last 2 or 3 hours,  not just a few minutes.  It is totally disabling and frightening.

Hi Mups
When I went to the E and T man for my dizzy spell he sent me some information on the Eppley manoeuvres  for me to do at home when I next have an attack of this .
They are supposed to reposition the crystals in the ears ( if this is what causes the trouble )
As ( touch wood) I haven't had any since I haven't done any yet .
I will try and find them .

I have found some old paperwork I had which is called  Brandt-Daroff Exercises.
I also googled whether there is a difference between Epley and Brandt-Daroff,  and it said there is.

Apparently Epley is usually done by a practitioner to move the crystals there and then,   while the B.D. ones are for the patient themself to do on repeat.   Something about it retrains the brain after long term dizziness.   Once the Epley is done by a specialist,  we can then carry on with the B.D. ones ourselves at home.

I will do some more research first,  as I am scared incase I make it even worse.
Thanks for your input Ruthio and Muddy.

My nephew and his wife have been here this morning for a chin-wag.
It's a lovely day, wall to wall sunshine and blue skies.
