Waking to extreme vertigo….
by: Shane on Fri, Nov 20 2009
Facebook Twitter

I woke up to the feeling of my head spinning and got out of bed and instantly fell to the ground. I crawled to the stairway and slithered down the stairs. called for my daughter and she came and helped me to the car and drove me to the ER. The Dr. said it was probably an inner ear infection or virus. After throwing up worse than i have ever they released me and said time will cure this. I went home and stayed in bed for a week. This has been going on steady for three months and the only change is the ringing in my ears has been progressively getting worse
