In Jan 2012 I had an extreme attack of vertigo, my heart racing at 170 beats per minute, was taken to the ER by ambulance. I even hate to think about it as I thought I was dying.I ended up on the floor and no matter if my eyes were open or closed I was spinning so dam fast : ( At first doctors thought it was pulmonary hypertension but it was ruled out. So I know its from my multiple sclerosis.

I too have M.S. & vertigo has been a hinderance for me well over 10 months now. Most of the time it is tollerable, but it hasnt dissapeared not once. Motion sickness meds dont work for me. The Dr. in the video states that I wont have to live with this "forever." I sure hope he's right. Meanwhile, my last hope is trying a series of Prednisone with hopes of finding relief.

Vertigo has been one of my main symptoms of ms so far. And unlike the lady in the video movement makes mine worse. If I focus on a computer or tv it eases it, but when I get up to walk it's horrible. I use Dramamine when it's real bad and it seems to help some.
