                Vertigo / Vestibular Neuronitis 

Vestibular neuronitis is a type of Vertigo. The sudden onset may cause unsteadiness, earache, nausea, and vomiting. Vestibular neuronitis is the result of an infection that has spread to the vestibular nerve, which controls balance. This condition usually follows a viral infection, such as a cold or flu.

I have just found out (9/8/2025) the real name of my condition. 

  • Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV): This occurs when small calcium particles are displaced from their normal location and start collecting in the inner ear. This condition may be associated with age and is triggered by certain head positions.

     Here we go with my latest problem, Dizziness. I believe that I posted (some place) that I have been having small dizzy spells ( about 5 seconds) when I first sit up, out of bed. Here's the Notepad I wrote about it.

     I have been experiencing short dizzy spells of just a few seconds when getting out of bed, enough to make me drop back onto the mattress!

     It puzzled me; so I went to the Internet and looked up Vertigo. From that, I found out several forms of Vertigo. Mine was Vestibular Neurosis.

     I knew; I was on the right track. My mind went to thinking that I HOPED that it was a VIRAL condition. 

     I felt so relieved and blessed. I did the research in the HOPE that it WAS viral. Why, you ask? BECAUSE I have a ton of IVERMECTIN that I got from my friend Naidu who works for a pharmaceutical company in Mumbai, India; where my  pharmaceutical drug dealer, Naidu Manohar, works.

      I just took my first batch about 20 minutes ago. No, I'm not going to tell you that I feel better, already.:) I'll post my results here, when my 5 day period ends.

                                    Wish me luck.:)

                               Vestibular Neuritis

Vestibular neuritis is an inner ear disorder that causes symptoms such as sudden, severe vertigo, dizziness, balance problems, nausea and vomiting. Experts believe that VIRAL infections cause vestibular neuritis. Treatment typically involves managing symptoms or taking antiviral medications.

                   The treatment for vestibular neuritis?

     The main goal of vestibular neuritis treatment is to manage your symptoms. To do this, your healthcare provider may recommend: (He didn't; I researched it!)

     Medications (ANTIVIRAL) and drugs to treat nausea, dizziness and inflammation).

     I researched it and found out what I had. As you know, I have a supply of Ivermectin. So, three days ago, I started my regimen for a five day period.  In two more days, I will have finished with my daily Ivermectin; I'll notify of my results of the Ivermectin, with my opinion. 😊

     I did my last day of Ivermectin, yesterday and the jury is still out; there seems to be a slight improvement, not as much as I expected. It may be too early; however it is milder than it was.😉  Stay tuned for future updates. :)

       Praise the Lord, something positive to say about the cause of my dizziness. Since my Ivermectin, apparently did NOT  work; that took the viral cause out of the picture. It  got me thinking; what if my condition was caused by a psychological reason and not a physical one???? I  am in a very anxious state at the moment, stocks and $$$ However the outlook is getting much brighter.😊 Maybe that will stop my anxiety, I HOPE.
     I will try another round of Ivermectin in the future , if I feel as though I need it.😟
      I did my usual researching pattern. I asked that very question; I found my  answer; here it is:

 The mind/body connection is complex. Emotional factors – the way we think, feel, and behave – can have a significant effect, for better or worse, on our physical health and our capacity to recover from illness. Anxiety, depression, and social isolation are common problems among people who suffer from vestibular conditions. 

     I started looking for a natural source of treatment. I found an ad about Vertigenics. I thought I'd mention to you, when I first wrote this post.

      I removed that section. I read a report that called it a fraud! Since then I started thinking about. I read the ingredients and was rally impressed with what I found. Maybe somebody felt  insecure with Vertigenics product.

     I looked at the ingredients; they had an AMAZING amount of vitamins and minerals. The list was amazing. So, I ordered a 5 pack of them.

    

(5 Pack) Vertigenics Supplement Capsules, 300 Capsules for 5 Months.

        Hang on! I am going to give you the list of the ingredients:

  

This is the 15th of August. I wrote this post on the 8th. Still no improvement. I'll take another round of Ivermectin in a week or two. I want to give my body a chance to rest from the first routine that I did. I'd shoot the works. However, I have no information about when to resume, nor how long to take the Ivermectin.
I just researched it.😏😉

  • The dosage of ivermectin oral tablets depends on the parasitic infection being treated and your body weight.
  • Ivermectin is typically taken as a single dose on an empty stomach with water. Repeat doses may be needed in some cases.

                  P.S.   That's what I mean by RESEARCHING.
               This very afternoon, I just researched about my                                                    taking it again.
   

⏳ How Long Does Ivermectin Stay in Your System? Full Breakdown

After ingestion, Ivermectin begins working within hours, but how long it remains active varies by individual. Here’s the science:

🧠 Key Pharmacokinetics:

  • Onset of Action: 4 hours

  • Peak Blood Levels: 4–5 hours post-dose

  • Half-Life: ~18 hours (ranges from 12–36 hours)

  • Total Clearance: ~7 days (varies by metabolism, liver health)
  •

  •            Yes, You're absolutely right. 
  •  I AM going to start, (AGAIN), this evening. 😛

  •  I found , while looking at Facebook, on the 'reels' section, a man who had posted about Vertigo's dizzy problems, as the title. That piqued my curiosity!   He extended his hand and in two maneuvers, he bent his thumb into the palm of his hand; cupped his fingers around the thumb and squeezed. He said to repeat this action 65 times during the day.
  •  I religiously started this 3 days ago. 
  •                        IT'S WORKING!😊                                      I've had a vast improvement!
  • This morning, when I came down. I immediately looked it up, in order to find the science behind it.
  • I lucked out and was sent to a site that contains more information about it.😉  Better pack a lunch, it's very comprehensive.

Home Remedies for Vertigo

The spinning sensation and dizziness you get from vertigo can limit your activities and make you feel sick. Depending on the cause, though, some simple maneuvers you can do at home might bring relief.

The most common type of this condition is BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo). It happens when small crystals of calcium get loose in your inner ear. You may feel it when you're getting in or out of bed, or tilting your head up. People over age 60 are more likely to get BPPV. It’s also the easiest type of vertigo to treat.

Before you try to treat it yourself, see your doctor. If you have vertigo, you'll need to know what type it is and which ear has the problem. To determine affected side:

  1. Sit on a bed so that if you lie down, your head hangs slightly over the end of the bed.
  2. Turn your head to the right and lie back quickly.
  3. Wait 1 minute.
  4. If you feel dizzy, then the right ear is your affected ear.
  5. If no dizziness occurs, sit up.
  6. Wait 1 minute.
  7. Turn your head to the left and lie back quickly. 
  8. Wait 1 minute. 
  9. If you feel dizzy, then the left ear is your affected ear.

If you have BPPV, certain actions can move the calcium crystals that cause the problem out of your ear canal. That should bring relief.

If your vertigo comes from your left ear and side:

  1. Sit on the edge of your bed. Turn your head 45 degrees to the left (not as far as your left shoulder). Place a pillow under you so when you lie down, it rests between your shoulders rather than under your head.
  2. Quickly lie down on your back, with your head on the bed (still at the 45-degree angle). The pillow should be under your shoulders. Wait 30 seconds (for any vertigo to stop).
  3. Turn your head halfway (90 degrees) to the right without raising it. Wait 30 seconds.
  4. Turn your head and body on its side to the right, so you're looking at the floor. Wait 30 seconds.
  5. Slowly sit up, but remain on the bed a few minutes.
  6. If the vertigo comes from your right ear, reverse these instructions. Sit on your bed, turn your head 45 degrees to the right, and so on.

Do these movements three times before going to bed each night, until you've gone 24 hours without dizziness.

This exercise is for dizziness from the left ear and side:

  1. Sit on the edge of your bed. Turn your head 45 degrees to the right.
  2. Quickly lie down on your left side. Stay there for 30 seconds.
  3. Quickly move to lie down on the opposite end of your bed. Don't change the direction of your head. Keep it at a 45-degree angle and lie for 30 seconds. Look at the floor.
  4. Return slowly to sitting and wait a few minutes.
  5. Reverse these moves for the right ear.

Again, do these moves three times a day until you go 24 hours without vertigo.

Some people find this maneuver easier to do:

  1. Kneel down and look up at the ceiling for a few seconds.
  2. Touch the floor with your head, tucking your chin so your head goes toward your knees. Wait for any vertigo to stop (about 30 seconds).
  3. Turn your head in the direction of your affected ear (i.e. if you feel dizzy on your left side, turn to face your left elbow). Wait 30 seconds.
  4. Quickly raise your head so it's level with your back while you're on all fours. Keep your head at that 45-degree angle. Wait 30 seconds.
  5. Quickly raise your head so it's fully upright, but keep your head turned to the shoulder of the side you're working on. Then slowly stand up.

You may have to repeat this a few times for relief. After the first round, rest 15 minutes before trying a second time.

Here’s what you need to do for this exercise:

  1. Start in an upright, seated position on your bed.
  2. Tilt your head around a 45-degree angle away from the side causing your vertigo. Move into the lying position on one side with your nose pointed up.
  3. Stay in this position for about 30 seconds or until the vertigo eases off, whichever is longer. Then move back to the seated position.
  4. Repeat on the other side.

You should do these movements from three to five times in a session. You should have three sessions a day for up to 2 weeks, or until the vertigo is gone for 2 days.

Repetitive movements can help your brain and body overcome the confusing signals of vertigo. They can also help you manage the sudden start of dizziness and motion sensations. 

When you begin these exercises for vertigo, start slowly and understand that initial reactions may make you feel worse. Make sure that you complete these exercises individually, taking breaks between each one. Speak with your doctor before beginning any of these exercises, and let them know if your vertigo symptoms become more serious or if you have any new symptoms.

Marching in Place Exercise

Marching in place can help you with balance while standing, and it acts as a stepping stone for more advanced movements.

Step 1: Stand near a wall or corner, or place a chair nearby. Place your arms by your side.

Step 2: Lift your right knee, followed by your left knee as you march. Try to raise your knees as high as comfort allows.

Step 3: March in place 20 times. 

Repeat this exercise two times a day times, and try to extend each set to 30 marching steps.

Turning in Place Exercise

Turning in place is a more advanced exercise than marching in place. Make sure you have a chair or sturdy walker nearby in case you feel dizzy.

Step 1: Stand straight with your arms at your sides. 

Step 2: Slowly turn left in a half-circle, equal to 180 degrees. 

Step 3: Stop moving and stand motionless for 10 to 15 seconds. 

Step 4: Slowly turn right in a half-circle. Stand still for 10 to 15 seconds.

Repeat this exercise five times. As you complete each round, favor moving in the direction that makes you feel dizzier. 

When completing the standing exercises for vertigo, stand near a wall or handrail, or set up a chair, walker, or other personal assistance device in case you lose your balance. If you have a higher risk of falling, ask someone to stand close by as you work on these exercises. 

For the rest of the day after doing any of these exercises, try not to tilt your head too far up or down. If you don't feel better after a week of trying these moves, talk to your doctor again, and ask them what they want you to do next.

You might not be doing the exercises right, or something else might be the cause of your dizziness.
