ACT-SHOO-ALL-LEE, I am not suffering from vertigo. I submitted that GIF because it is a symptom and I thought it might help those new to the medical field in remembering this.

Back when I was learning A&P in the LPN program, I would draw pictures. For example, when we were studying the kidneys, I drew a little pic of a capsule character holding a bow and arrow.

Bowman's capsule.

However, now and again I do experience symptoms that I've self-diagnosed as Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo. I deal with it, as CharleeFoxtrot suggested, with a modified method of Epley's Maneuver.

I thank you all for your concern

Well alrighty then. I guess some of us assumed something; there is something else that might help those new to the medical field!

Glad you are OK, well kinda OK.

I thought the GIF was a good example of what vertigo must feel like and look like for the person experiencing it.

I have a scopolamine patch for you. Might make your mouth dry and give you some hallucinations. You can't cry about it either. Don't know if those are additional benefits or side effects ?
