Just got back from the doctors. I've pretty well know what I have for a while by researching. It's called Positional Vertigo.

It can be cured by an exercise similar to what Craig suggested:

I tried it yesterday but the spinning was very violent and I could not continue. My plan is to get on the medication that reduces the symptoms and do the exercise and try and get over this.

I want to thank everyone for their prayers. These last three weeks have been hard.

I have not been able to work and I'm thinking about quitting my job. It is very stressful at times. I'd like to find something else to do. But first I need to get better.

[Rhys 🕊]

Will pray for wisdom for you in your job situation.

Blessings

Exactly what I shared with you on page 2 Dennis.

Quoting myself page 2; Of all vestibular disorders, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is one of the most common in older adults. BPPV causes vertigo, dizziness, and other symptoms due to debris that has collected within a part of the inner ear. This debris, called otoconia, is made up of small crystals of calcium carbonate (sometimes referred to colloquially as “ear rocks”). With head movement, the displaced otoconia shift, sending false signals to the brain and causing dizziness or vertigo.

It's nice to know that my medical zeal did not mislead you. Thank you Lord!

Glad you know now with certainty what it is and knowing is half the battle!

I will continue to pray for your strength to do the exercises needed to regain full strength!

God bless,

Alex

Dennis,

What an awful thing to deal with.  My heart goes out to you. 

Listen, you said your dentist or someone had performed a sinus lift.  Not sure if you knew this already but I found this on Wikipedia re your symptoms:

There is evidence in the dental literature that malleting of an osteotome during closed sinus floor elevation, otherwise known as osteotome sinus elevation or lift, transmits enough percussive and vibratory forces capable of detaching otoliths from their normal location and leading to the symptoms of BPPV.  It can be triggered by any action which stimulates the posterior semi-circular canal which may be:

From Dennis:

About three months ago I had oral surgery then I started feeling really bad.

I was light headed all the time, dizzy, very tired, and had headaches. It was really hard to work.

I associated the problem with the surgery so I went my MD then to a eye, nose, throat doctor. But everything was good.

I came close to having very serious problems and possibly a diabetic coma or worse after having oral surgery yesterday.

I’ve been going to a specialist doctor / dentist (he is also a medical doctor) to have implants put in for missing teeth.

Wow that has got to be driving you crazy.

Gods health, His patience and quick recovery to you Dennis.

The exercise makes me really sick. I've done it four times so far. I did it early this morning and I'm still very sick from it. I don't know if it's worth it. I don't think I'll do it tomorrow. This is all that comes to mind:

Job 2:10 ... What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? ...

[Gina]

Well I'm praying to God that you feel better soon.  Who can live like that?

[Gina]

It's humbling to know how quickly God can pull the rug out from under us.  Keeps one from laughing too loud and too long.

[Dennis Vogel]

Two days ago was the worse yet. But yesterday I woke up feeling a little better but I did not do the exercise.

I did the exercise this morning and it was not as bad but I've just felt just so-so today. But much of the vertigo is gone. So I'm hoping it's almost over.

And I managed to work 1.5 hours today. But it was hard to concentrate.

This has been a hard month and has made me think about many things in my life (all I've had is time). Times are hard and it doesn't seem right to quit a well paying job and look for something more satisfying. But...

Ecc 2:11  Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun.

[Rhys 🕊]

I too hope it's almost over for you. I continue to pray for you. I understand the verse you shared, feel a bit that way myself sometimes.

God bless

Rhys

[Gina]

Glad you're feeling a little better.  What a nightmare.  And I thought I had problems. 

[gregorydc]

Still praying for you as well Denis. Thanks to God for letting you feel better.

I did the exercise this morning and no vertigo. So I guess it's over. But I'm still weak as a kitten. I suspect it's going to take a while to get my strength back.

[Gina]

oh thank God.  I hope it has gone for good.  You're probably weak from not eating, I would imagine.  I wonder if you could mention those exercises to your friend who has the vertigo?

[Rhys 🕊]

Good to hear the exercise is working. I pray that you may regain your strength quickly.

Isa 40:31  but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.
