[Dennis Vogel]

For the last three days I've been getting serious bouts of vertigo. It mostly comes in my sleep.

All of a sudden the room starts spinning and I have to sit up and stare at something to make it stop. This morning I had to grab onto the bathroom sink and the wall to keep from falling.

I've had this before and taking antibiotics has always stopped it. I've taken three Penicillin VK 500 mg today but it just now woke me up again. So I don't know what's going on. It is scarring me.

I have a very weak stomach and I cannot take being nauseated and the spinning makes me sick to my stomach. When I feel like I'm going to throw-up I pass out.

In all seriousness, I feel like I would rather die than throw-up. It's that bad for me.

I've be close to throwing up several times but I've begged God to be merciful and I have not thrown up in many years. But the last time I was close I got numb and the chills and passed out next to the toilet. I think I go into shock.

It's 71 degrees in my bedroom and I have a sweater on but I'm almost shivering. My blood pressure is up but I think it's from anxiety.

Please pray for me. I cannot take being nauseated.

You sound like my mother in that regard.  She doesn't deal well with nausea at all.  Will be praying for you.

Hello Dennis,

I will certainly be praying for you! Sounds like a pretty rough situation, specially to be waking you up from your sleep.

My question to you is; Have you seen a doctor about this? If not, I would suggest you see a doctor as soon as possible!

[Rhys 🕊]

My heart goes out to you at this time. Praying for you my friend. God bless

dennis i pray that you can find the cause of your symptoms.  vertigo runs in my family but none of us have experienced what you are describing.  i pray that the Comforter will indeed comfort you during this time.  and that you can get some decent rest and a respite from this perplexing situation.

i agree with alex, you need to see a doctor. 

we all love you and it would be too much to bear if anything happened that took you away from us.

Hi Dennis
Hayley is on the right track, I have the same symptoms & it's caused when your ears becomes full of wax, try removing it, any doctor can do a ear syringe, it works.

You're in my prayer, GOD Bless!

[virginiabm]

I will pray for you Dennis. I know what Vertigo feels like, and it's not fun. I've had bouts with it off and on for years. It comes on all of a sudden. It scares me real bad when the room starts to spin.  I pray God heals you from this condition and comfort you as you heal in His will I pray.

I was at the doctors yesterday but I told him this has always gone away with antibiotics so he did not look to closely. But he looked in my ears and nose.

I'm going to try and see him again today but many businesses are closed until after Christmas.

I've had to sleep sitting up the last two nights and I'm not sleeping well.

It happened again just a few minutes ago and I have not taken the antibiotic yet. So I know I'll be a little more sick for a few hours after I take it.

I have a friend who's sister has had it for over 20 years. She is house bound. That scares me.

Thank you all.

[levycarneiro]

Praying for you Dennis.

[Gina]

Praying for you, Dennis.  Since you can't think too positively right now, I'm going to think positively for you.  God is very merciful.

(Vertigo is the worst.  I used to get it twice a month around my period from the age of 12 to 21.  Couldn't eat, crawling on all fours to the bathroom just to drive heave for two days straight and praying to God the entire time.  It was just lovely and then I got knocked up and it went away completely.)

I'm praying for your sister's friend too.  I thank God for what He is about to do. 

Please keep us updated.

Hello Denis,
I am also praying for you my friend. God bless and heal you.

I have an appointment with a specialist this morning.

Just before this started I got some water in my ear in the shower and something told me it wasn't a good thing. Maybe that's all this is. I hope so.

I'm a little goofy from not enough sleep and sick to my stomach. I think my nerves are making me more sick.

[Craig]

Did you try this?  I found it on the web.

Within a week, 95% of the patients who performed the modified Epley procedure had complete resolution of their symptoms

How to Do It

Patients start by sitting on a bed and placing a pillow behind them so that it will be under their shoulders when they lie back. Then,

   1 Turn your head 45 degrees to the left, if the vertigo is in the left ear, or to the right if it is in the right ear.

   2 Lie back quickly with shoulders on the pillow, neck extended, and head resting on the bed. In this position, the affected ear is underneath. Wait for 30 seconds.

   3 Turn your head 90 degrees to the right (without raising it), and wait again for 30 seconds.

   4 Turn your body and head another 90 degrees to the right, and wait for another 30 seconds.

   5 Sit up on the right side.

The maneuver should be performed three times a day and repeated daily until there are no signs of vertigo for at least 24 hours.

[Gina]

It's  definitely possibly  water in your ear canal, Dennis.  God bless you!  If you have one of those baby syringes, get it and suction the water out of your ear.

Rubbing alcohol is a drying agent and it will dry up the water in your ear canal.  I've had swimmer's ear and the pain went down into my jaw.  I dropped rubbing alcohol in my ear and the problem was cleared up in a matter of days.  Plus the alcohol will clear up any infection taking up residence in your ear.

[Dennis Vogel]

Specialist said it was not water in my ear.

He wanted to spin me around in the chair and make me dizzy but I would not let him do that. I told him I would rather have a hot iron on my back than that. And that is the truth. The nurse said they have other patients like me.

So they are going to see me again in a few weeks. I don't know what to do now.

But they gave me medication for the dizziness. I hope it does not make me sicker.

It seems to be getting worse. I cannot look down to read something without getting dizzy and sick.

Craig, I've read about that before. I don't think I could do that now.

[Rhys 🕊]

If your doctor wants to spin you around in a chair then spend him around in a chair. I play tennis with my doctor and if he tries anything I make him pay on the court. 

All the best to you

Rhys

Hello Sir

It might be trigger points in the Sternocleidomastoideus muscles. They actually show on your photo. They run from the bony knob behind the ear
to the sternum and clavicle. Trigger points in these muscles is a source of many problems, including dizzines,nausea,blurred vision,earache etc.
You can squeeze these muscles right now to find out if they are the
source of your pain. Hope this helps.

[Dennis Vogel]

Not getting any better. The dizzy medication just gives me a slight headache.

I hope tonight is not worse. Sometimes as soon as I close my eyes the room starts spinning.

Eagle, I am not in any pain at all. And I don't have any vision problems or earache. But I will try squeezing those areas.

[Gina]

Not to pressure you, Dennis, I know this isn't fun for you at all, but do you think you might be able to try dribbling the alcohol in your ear (and then letting it run back out) like I suggested?

[Dennis Vogel]

This thing doesn't seem to favor either ear. But I'll see if I can use a cotton swap.

Just checked my cell phone messages and I have an appointment in three weeks for a bunch of through tests. I cannot take this for three more weeks. If I don't see some improvement soon I'll go to the emergency room.

I managed about three hours sleep tonight with a somewhat calm stomach by staying very still.

Turning or tilting my head much is out of the question. Just sitting upright and looking down to read makes me sick.

My work is backing up.
