My Diagnosis, Part 1

I have been plagued by vertigo and motion sickness for quite some time and has been progressing quite greatly. Its sad when the furthest you can go is 18 miles without stopping, giving me a break. Also at times I can't even go over 20mph without the spinning starts. Going to the dentist is nearly impossible along with elevators or even laying flat, looking up or bending over. Also loud noises such as music and crowds, and moving bright lights cause spinning. So I finally gave in and talked to the dr about it at my yearly appt earlier in the week. So the dr gave me a referral to the Hearing and Balance Center and had an appt today. After some tests using special goggles and being in different positions I have a diagnosis.....BPPV and migraine-related (silent) vertigo. Its normally found in people 50 and over. So Im a rarity of having both. Some crystals in my inner ear has gotten loose causing false movement/spinning. So after 1-3 treatments Ill (hopefully) have a 90% success rate. Treatments are having my head turn at a 45* angle to the right side, going down/lying on my right side for a few seconds keeping my head at a 45* angle, then going over to my left side, keeping the head at the same 45*. She then shakes my head for a few seconds then gives my right ear some vibrations to help the crystals move back to their normal place. She does this a couple to a few times. BUT that is only for the BPPV part, not the silent migraine-related part. Ill have more extensive testing done at the end of the month (indepth ear and eye exams and possible MRI/CT scans in the future to rule out if anything else is related to it). Once I get further tests on the silent migraine part, Ill explain everything about that more. Thats another serious issue that have been bothering/worrying me. But driving long distance or being on a jet plane could have caused some serious damage to myself (blacking out-which almost happened already, and being unconcious). Luckily I have been avioding trips since I know it would have been impossible and never have gotten to the destination. Since Ive had it for decades (been keeping everything to myself since some people have assuming opinions), its pretty serious. If the treatments don't work, I may need surgery.
So now I have to sleep at a 45* angle for 2 nights. After the 2 nights are up, I can return to bed and lay ONLY on my left side (right ear is the effected ear). I also can't tilt my head back for a week or bend over for a week. So there goes my chiro appts for awhile but those can wait. This can't.
