The Spinning Settles: BPPV Treatment Stories

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts describe benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. Writers describe the first turn: the bed, the shelf, the hairdresser's basin, the nausea, and the conviction that this was a stroke or a tumour. There is the long road to a name — the scans that were normal, the vestibular sedatives that made things worse, the months of avoiding lying flat, the antidepressants offered instead — and the eventual Dix-Hallpike test that took ninety seconds and explained everything. Then the manoeuvre: Epley, Semont, BBQ roll, and the extraordinary accounts of a condition resolving in a single appointment. Writers describe the recurrences and the self-treatment they learned, and cover crystals and company: vestibular migraine, Ménière's, vestibular neuritis and persistent postural-perceptual dizziness. Later chapters hold the cases that never fully settled.

Who it's for

For anyone with positional vertigo, people who have been misdiagnosed for months, and readers who want to know which test and manoeuvre to ask for by name.
