Does lying down help

Posted , 12 users are following.

Hi. Most reports of menieres that I have read about seem to say that people find the vertigo goes off if they lie down and keep their heads still. Is it unusual to feel completely better as soon as you lie down?  Do most people need to lie still or is just lying down enough?

Would really appreciate some replies as still waiting for diagnosis,

    MD ... nothing worse. I'm planning on MAID ... assisted dying. Bilateral Meniere's. Finished!

    If anyone has a remedy to stop the vertigo and tinnitus please let me know. You might save a life!

      yeah, I am looking into whether or not life insurance pays for death by MAID. I have the most useless doctor in Ottawa. there is really nothing I can do.

    I found that lying in bed on my side with my good ear against the pillow helps. I take a 10mg Amitriptyline tablet before bed to stop pin prick sensations in my head & sleep sound. i do lie in the same positkon all night.
