But when I have allergies, I notice that I get those same mild symptoms. I will put Epley to the test if I ever have the problem again. I do have a question though. Doesn't being on a boat make the symptoms worse?Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531125606268748793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4690929350463100222.post-26310710289534446202020-10-26T07:54:22.186-07:002020-10-26T07:54:22.186-07:00I use the Ep;ey maneuver when I get the dizzies, i...I use the Ep;ey maneuver when I get the dizzies, it works for me. <br />Patricia My Piece of Earthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15086566015541067711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4690929350463100222.post-43000904926007133602020-10-26T06:43:11.800-07:002020-10-26T06:43:11.800-07:00I hope you feel better soon or at least get some r...I hope you feel better soon or at least get some relief from it.

Sometimes I have to resort to taking an over the counter motion sickness medication. I try to avoid that as it makes me drowsy.

Stay in this position for at least 30 seconds.<br />Slowly turn your head to the left, a full 90 degrees, without lifting your neck.<br />Engage your whole body, turning it to the left so that you are completely on your left side.<br />Slowly return to your original position, looking forward and sitting straight up. <br />Sit up gently though, and stay in that position for a few minutes, just in case you go a bit 'fluffy'!<br /><br />There are lots of diagrams, videos and info about it on line. I was very sceptical, but it's worked wonders for me, so there's a chance it will help you too! <br /><br />Take care, Col.XColhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04191036562913935116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4690929350463100222.post-86035568742246725622020-10-26T04:10:03.438-07:002020-10-26T04:10:03.438-07:00Sounds as if you may have vertigo, not pleasant. ...Sounds as if you may have vertigo, not pleasant.
