@DarkLady2788 "It’s just so hard knowing that a single head movement the wrong way can trigger it ." Yes, exactly! Yeah, doctors have to treat the symptoms because there is no cure. A couple of years ago I had to move because I kept falling down the stairs. I can not walk and carry something with both hands. I always have to have one hand on something like a railing or wall so I use a cane or I have to walk with my head tilted to the right. I don't take medication all the time because it makes me tired. I would sleep all time. I only take medication (antihistamine) when I am vomiting and can't function because everything is spinning too fast. The last time I took it I slept 18 hours. When I woke up the room was still spinning so I took more medication and went back to sleep. The bad symptoms eventually calm down but it never goes away. If I move to quickly my head spins. The other day I was out in the yard and something startled me and I jumped. I ended up crawling back inside because I did not have my cane. I just took a nap this time and it calmed down but it's always there mildly.
