I have had numerous bouts of vertigo and was finally diagnosed with Meniere's about 5-6 years ago. However, I am currently sick in bed with an extended episode of constant vertigo that my otolaryngologist has dignosed as a virus of the vestibular nerve. Unfortunately, this takes weeks to months to recover (versus 1-2 days with Meniere's). So, ask your doctor or check internet for other possible causes. Unfortunately, I am told neither Meniere's nor this virus has a cure. Although I have been somewhat successful curbing the Meniere's by limiting salt, caffeine, and alcohol.

I feel your pain and pray you find relief.
