Re:Help us treat the Vertigo

January 4, 2008

Dear

First, I want to say that I am so sorry to hear that your daughter is doing so

poorly.. It is a true shame what these diseases do to us, but it is even harder

to hear about it with someone younger, like your daughter.

You don't say what they have tried or haven't tried yet, with your daughter's

vertigo, but I have been to the ER twice in the last six months with Severe

Positional Vertigo. It was absolutely terrible and scary....

But both times they gave me Antivert (meclizine) at the hospital and then gave

me a prescription for it... It seemed to work pretty good, relieving a

majority of the " spinning " within a half hour or so.

Both times I have taken the meds. 2x a day for a couple of weeks after each

episode and have not had to take it again....at least until the next time...

The problem with the Lyme and the vertigo is you never know when an episode is

going to hit, so I keep some on hand at home now, just in case.

I don't know if it is something that you have tried yet, but it worked/works for

me.

I wish you all the best and hope that your daughter feels a bit better soon.

God Bless

Ellen

I also tested positive for babesia and bart, and am guessing I also have

lyme because my CD 57 count is low. Out of every symptom, being dizzy was the

worst because it makes it difficult to get out of bed without vomiting or

falling over, and concentration is impossible. Luckily, I have mine under

control with ginger root capsules, Rexall brand, at Walmart. I have also used

Ginko Biloba in the past for this, and it worked. Well, since we both have the

same three things and we both have extreme dizziness, now I know where I got

it from. I think my middle ear is full of pathogens. I have always gotten

car sick, boat sick, air sick and then when I hit my twenties, I got dizzy and

nauseous without any help.
