Hi.  Im sorry you have this terrible condition, but the good news is that there is lots you can do to live with it and make it better. \n\nIve had mild vertigo now for almost 5 years after getting labrynthitis. \n\nThe worst part at first was the anxiety that came along with vertigo and being in public places.  Best thing to start doing right away is yoga.  Seriously.  It helps on so many different levels from balance, to calmness, blood flow, etc. \n\nAlso I would start doing vestibular rehab exercises--just type this into google and you will find a list somewhere.  They can help with balance and retraining your vestib. system.\n\nAvoid caffeine, high salt.\n\nI have found that antiverts do nothing for true vertigo.  Its not all in your head!  Also it helped me to talk about it with others who have it.  I think healthboards.com is the website.  Good luck.

Go to see your family doctor,  or maybe a neurologist

It appears your doctor thinks you have a form of vertigo, and the Eppley maneuver is one of several treatments for the condition. \nDrugs such as Antivert or Librium are also prescribed, as well as surgery and even exercise!\n\n“Vestibular rehabilitation therapy is designed by a physical therapist under the direction of a physician. In most cases, patients visit the therapist on a limited basis and perform custom-designed exercises at home, several times a day. As the patient progresses, difficulty of the exercises increases until the highest level of balance is attained during head movement, eye movement (i.e., tracking with the eyes), and walking.\n\nMedication \n\nEar infections (e.g., otitis media, labyrinthitis) caused by bacteria may be treated using antibiotics (e.g., amoxicillin, ceftriaxone).\nMyringotomy is a surgical procedure that may be used to treat chronic ear infections. In this procedure, which is performed under anesthesia, an incision is made in the eardrum and a small tube is placed in the opening to prevent fluid and bacteria from building up inside the ear.\n\nBenign paroxysmal positional vertigo may be treated with meclizine (Antivert®), an oral antiemetic that can be taken up to 3 times a day, or only as needed. Meclizine may cause drowsiness, dry mouth, and blurred vision.”\nhttp://www.neurologychannel.com/vertigo/treatment.shtml\n\n“The most reliable treatment for BPPV is a fairly simple, non-surgical procedure called canalith repositioning.12 This is done by changing the patient's head and body position in a series of steps that are thought to dislodge the calcium crystals within the vestibular labyrinth that caused the problem.\n\nCanalith repositioning is usually done under expert supervision, but it is easy enough that doctors often teach it to BPPV sufferers and their families.\n\nMany doctors also prescribe drugs called vestibular suppressants.\nBecause of unwanted side effects, such as lethargy and impaired balance, they are given sparingly and only for more severe and long-lasting attacks. The elderly are particularly sensitive to these side effects.\n\nAnother concern about these drugs is that they may slow or prevent the central nervous system from adjusting to a problem in the vestibular system. While vetibular suppressants often help lessen symptoms, especially in the short term, surgery is the ultimate answer for the unlucky few with severe BPPV-related vertigo that does not respond to the canalith repositioning procedure.”\nhttp://www.thedoctorwillseeyounow.com/articles/behavior/vertigo_9/\n\n“Loss of balance control\n    “In a normal healthy individual our senses of touch (feet, ankles, joints), sight (eyes) and inner ear motion sensors work together in harmony with the brain. A person with a balance disorder, however, may have a problem in any one of these systems, or in multiple systems. In\nsome individuals, one or more of the senses are missing and the person does not realize they are losing their balance. In other people, the brain gets confused and creates an inaccurate sense of falling when in fact the person is in balance. The risk of developing one or more of\nthese problems increases with age as our senses or brain centers are exposed to degenerative or infectious diseases, or the effects of injuries accumulated over a lifetime.\n\nSome individuals experiencing balance problems have an obvious medical diagnosis such as diabetes, Parkinson's disease, or even a stroke that are primary sources of the problem. In other individuals with balance difficulties, the cause can even be subtle undetected forms of these\ndiseases. However, diseases are not the only reason our senses and movements may be compromised. A history of injuries, such as concussions, ear infections, or serious sprains or fractures, may contribute to a loss of balance control over time.”\nhttp://www.onbalance.com/patient_info/balanceControl.aspx\n\n\nBenign paroxysmal positional vertigo\n====

First thing first. Consult the doctor. If its psychosomatic, conscious relaxation will help. Keeping one self bussy and cheerful is better start to work towards mental health.

Try a complementary therapy. Aromatherapy- you get a massage and some sweet smelling herbs/plants which aim to help you i.e lavander rubbed into your back or whole body.

Good Luck on your treatment, Tendinitis sux.  I just wanted to emphasize that you should do your best to avoid future repetitive motion.  I sometimes get a flair up of tendinitis on a three-day holiday from using the TV remote control or computer too much.:(

Bet you physically jump when startled, too, don't you? I used to do it. Type A personality, very tense, jumpy, rattled easily, emotional? The only thing that worked was slowing down my metabolism, extra Vit. B compounds, and anti-depressants. Recently I started taking a new cholesterol med and the jumpy and shaking the leg is back. I will be asking for a change in meds but you could cut back on sugar, caffeine, nicotine, and find lots of activity to keep you moving, until you can start to get your sleep regularly. Continue to pay attention to what your body is telling you, try to slow down (take longer to eat, walk slower, dress slower), anything you can slow down enough and long enough for it to become a habit. Sorry, but the cure truly is a long hard road, and you'll probable get there when you get old anyway.

Make an appointment with a physical therapist. Your insurance will probably pay for it.

it took me over a year to find the right drug combo.  I guess I'm lucky there...it felt like forever to me!\n\nI think you should talk to your doctor- tell him/her exactly what you said here.  See if they have solutions and work together to make a plan for your treatment.  It will be good to have a plan with a few steps to assess along the way.  Also, think about adding therapy to your treatment.  often you need this in conjunction with medications- even if you've tried, never needed, or "graduated" from therapy in the past- it could help alot with your CURRENT situation.   \n\nyou might also consider exercise or yoga- sometimes these activities will give you a little extra boost of energy to feel a little better.

consider seeing a Ear nose and throat specialist to ensure that you don't have a physical problem.  Then look into speech therapy - it really helps a lot.

I don't know the full scope of your back condition.  But I would recommend a non-medication approach.  Try Chiropractic or Acupuncture.  Both are great a relieving even long-standing back pain (depending on what is wrong with you, of course).\n\nSorry, I know this doesn't really answer your specific question, but I hope it offers some healtier alternatives.  Good luck!

Try rest, and elevate the foot with ice and maybe look into going  to see a therapist to help you through this.
