[AlternativeAnswers] Vertigo; Epley Exercises, courtesy of Barbara Kingsolver
Sorry, I thought there might be more on the Epley website and I was too lazy/busy to describe it.
Don't buy the CD, this is FREE!
This works IF the dizzyness is caused by BPV, Benign Positional Vertigo, caused by little crystals
in the inner ear. It is an age thing. The exercises work by rolling the little tidbits that cause the trouble into a corner and out of the way.
Trumpet roll please, The Epley Exercises, as described on page 341 of Barbara Kingsolver's
wonderful novel "Prodigal Summer".
The parts in quotation marks are direct quotes. Since Barbara K. is the kindest generous
soul I don't think she'll mind.
The scene features a log and a helper. If you are alone lie on your back on your bed with your head hanging down off the end.
Question: "Do you get it in bed too, lying on your back? And it wakes you up if you roll over in your sleep?"
"Turn your head to the side, as far as it will go. Let it drop backward a little, down off to the side". This will make you feel really dizzy but it is part of the process.
"Stay there if you can stand it, just hold right still till it stops". This may take one or two minutes.
"Now, roll your head straight back till it starts up again. Don't be scared. Go slow, and freeze
when it hits you." ".....he passed through one more bout of dizziness, then turned his head and endured
another." "You're almost done. Now...(snip) Sit straight up and tilt forward like this. She put her chin
on her chest to demonstrate. " "She helped lift him back to a sitting position and guided his head forward. He waited, feeling a strange sensation of reassembly in his head. When it passed he
relaxed his shoulders, raised his head, and looked around at a world that seemed to have been made new."
The exercises may have to be repeated, more often in the beginning.
Now Sue, if you feel light-headed and cobwebby, all the time, that sounds less like BPV and more like Candida, and that is a whole other ballgame....
Best wishes,
Ien in the Kootenays
