Hi everyone! Could you send some prayers to Karen (02kar). She went to the doctors yesterday for the positional vertigo. She needs to go through some tests before then can dislodge the crystal from her ear. She is struggling. I have this too and it is miserable when you get an attack like this. Thanks everyone! Suzanne

Praying.........

Sending out hugs and prayers.

Sending her prayers. Please let us know how she is doing.

Oh yes! and I am so glad you are her buddy! I do not know for sure what this is, however it sounds horrible. It affects balance I think. I am so sorry she has to have surgery. Please pass on my best wishes and let her know that she is in my thoughts and prayers.

Affects the inner ear. When you just move your head, it's like the room is spinning around & around! Awful! And makes you want to throw up...in fact, you do sometimes!

Thanks for letting us know! Best thoughts and prayers and of course big hugs for Karen. Hope this will be as quick and painless as possible for her.

Ok, question: is this crystal something that develops, like getting a kidney or gall stone? Or is it something that's supposed to be there, but gets out of place. I never heard of having a crystal in your ear. Don't suppose they can blast it with ultrasound like they do the other stones. Just being curious as to what's actually happening, can't visualize it. Thanks and hugs, Marji

Prayers send and hope every turns out right. Hugs Linda

In my thoughts and prayers

Bless her! I will certainly pray for her and her complete and speedy recovery.

Yes, I too will be sending her positive vibes......being a dizzy sufferer myself (my dizzies are from my migraines and can last for days or weeks) I know the misery it causes........So to everyone who has this issue wherever it comes from, here are blessings to you all......

I will add my prayers for her comfort and that the treatment works -- the first time.

I've had this--the tests are simple (no discomfort except when rising from the bed--walls spin around again). The crystals are displaced in the ear and need to be re positioned. The worst of the treatment is having to sleep sitting up in chair for 48 hrs--no lying flat. But is so worth it! I wonder how my crystals got displaced? Laughingly explain that my brain needed the room to expand. I will pray that the one treatment makes her well.
