The exercise sounds reasonable as the doctor said there was a little "ball" that rolls around in the inner ear related to balance/orientation. Sometimes after a head cold or ear infection, this "ball" can become "sticky". So the exercise you describe may help?clean the "ball". I think it's like being sea sick all the time. Last night was the first night she was able to eat and drink since Sunday, so we were very?happy?(as was she) about that. Thanks again, Bob ?Bob Adler Palo Alto, CA http://www.rgaphoto.com ________________________________ From: Tina Manley <images at comporium.net> To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> Sent: Fri, January 22, 2010 7:42:03 AM Subject: Re: [Leica] IMG: Day in the life I had vertigo several years ago.? My doctor suggested an exercise that cured it.? I had to lie on the bed with my head hanging off the side and sit up quickly.? Of course, the room would spin around like crazy, but several days of doing that and the vertigo was gone.? I think it had something to do with the bones in my inner ear? It's a miserable feeling.? I hope your daughter is better.
