Most of that time was spent in the waiting room - I hate that&#33;&#33;&#33; Anyway, I don&#39;t have Meniere&#39;s disease but what they call Benign Positional Vertigo. It&#39;s something about little &#39;crystals&#39; that have broken off in the middle ear....I don&#39;t know  (...yawn). Anyway they did this procedure and a hearing test and I have to wear this cervical collar for 2 weeks so I don&#39;t make any sudden movements with my head.....and...I have to sleep sitting up for the next 2 nights.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br />So Deb will it go away forever or is it something that you will have to live with.<br /><br />Sitting up to sleep.....hope you will be able to get a good nights rest that way.<br /><br />Wishing you the best.<br /><!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><b>Thanks, Falina&#33;</b> It is possible that through these therapy procedures that I might be able to get rid of it. If not, there are surgical procedures that will cure it. One good thing though is that this condition does not cause hearing loss like what they first thought I had.<br />As for sitting up to sleep - I&#39;m staying up as late as I can so I&#39;ll be tired enough to sleep in our recliner.
