My 15 year old daughter has been suffering from vertigo for the last several months. She’s missed so many days of school it’s amazing she’s able to keep up her grades. We’re in the process of running from doctor to doctor. GP, Gyno, ENT, MRI’s Cat scans, now they want Endo’s and Neuro’s. Does anyone have anything that might alleviate the symptoms, she’s supposed to travel to Japan in 6 weeks with a group of students and it’s looking more and more like she won’t be able to attend. Anything you can tell me would be appreciated. Thank you.

My husband got a bit of a sniffle which made him very hot.
ON a flight to see his family he thought he,d shower himself with extreme cold air from the planes airconditioner.This went directly to his left face for 3hours.
It made him feel less hot but after 12 days he became very ill.

- First, Hopefully Last, Vertigo Experience - by Dora - (Wed, Jun 17 2009)
BACKGROUND: (a) I have suffered from car sickness my whole life. Even when driving myself on a particularly winding road, I get nauseous. This is worse when my eyes are tired. (b) Flying (landing, to be exact) is always extremely painful in my ears. Since discovery of Sudafed, flying is bearable but still somewhat painful.

My vertigo started when I was a child. I am not quite sure of my age but I want to say I was around 11 years old. I got out of the car for church and I was walking across the lot and everything was moving and I felt dizzy.
