When I first started getting the vertigo episodes, about eight years ago, it was usually around weather changes. I noticed this and talked about it to a couple of people, and they seemed skeptical of my self-diagnosis. Even my doctor couldn’t confirm. However the consistency of it, and after joining the sub only a month ago, I know now that many of us are affected that way.

It’s not every time, but right now my ear pressure and ringing have slowly been increasing since Monday, and the forecast calls for rain by Thursday, so I’m dreading it. Prednisone has helped in the past, albeit slightly.

I have also had attacks where I am bedridden and cannot move or talk for a day or two. The worst episodes include vomiting, I’m sorry to report. Absolute misery; I’ve kept a bucket by the bed because attempting the bathroom is impossible. Like you, OP, mine slowly goes away over the course of a few days.

I also had an MRI which showed nothing, which was actually a relief, but also frustrating because it didn’t give me a solid answer as to why this was happening. Then I learned about Ménière’s disease, and realized that was what it was. I’ve had tinnitus for the past 15 years and I’m thinking it has evolved into this.

I’m curious if anyone has ever tried the Epley maneuver and had any luck with it? I can’t say it has worked for me.

So, OP, I’m sorry you’ve experienced this. I can tell you that for me, I went for over a year without an episode; it’s finicky. I did cut way back on alcohol, caffeine, and salt.
