Vertigo

My mom suffers from Vertigo at least 2-3 times a year.  She ends up in bed for many days. It is the Calcium Crystals in the ear seem to move and cause the vertigo.  There are a few ways to attempt to get the Crystals back in place.  First is to always drink enough water throughout the day, every day.  Learn the Epley Maneuver, that involves lying down, turning the head 90 degrees away from the ear with the problem, then you need to turn the entire body in that direction.  If this maneuver is done at least 3 times nightly until Vertigo goes away, normally relief is found. There is another maneuver called Semont, which is very similar, however, it involves changing the direction of one’s position rather than rolling over. There are U Tube videos that are extremely helpful.  The last one is Foster Maneuver, this one is tough, it involves touching the head to the floor, then turning in the direction of the affected ear, then rising up quickly.  This one can bring on severe nausea.
