Benign paraxysmal positional vertigo is caused by tiny calcium crystals that get inside the inner ear's position-sensing tubes. Through a series of quick, safe head maneuvers, a doctor or physical therapist trained in the technique can help shift those cyystals into less sensitive areas, where they can be reabsorbed, restoring your balance. Often it takes only one visit and usually immediate, says Dr. Terry Fife, director of the Arizona Balance Center in Phoenix. More info here: http://www.tchain. com/otoneurology /disorders/ bppv/bppv. html This may or may not be the same type of treatment according to the illustrations that Bobby was talking about, I don't know, I didn't see it, but you can check it out, folks. Also, for people whose ailments baffle their doctors, there's a new place to turn for help. The National Institutes of Health has opened an Undiagnosed Dioseases Program, where physicians from more than 25 specialties put their heads together on puzzline cases. Each year, they select about 100 patients referred by their healthcare providers to come to NIH for evaluation. For info, go to www.rarediseases. info.nih. gov/undiagnosed. Even if you are not selected, screeners may be able to advise you on how to proceed. More FYI, Lottie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
