I have had vertigo for over 3 weeks. was so bad when it happened I called ambulance because a month prior to that I had major spinal surgery T10 - S1.

I was therefore frightened of falling over etc. I have had tests for BPPV .u went for follow up tests for that this time negative,. I still have the vertigo, mainly on left side, all the heady feelings you all describe. Taking Stemetil, just stopped that and taking SERCS, HAD blood tests yesterday and cat scans. It's made me lose all confidence in my recovery for spinal OP. I do need to do exercises for mobility and recovery, but the dizziness is stopping me in my tracks.

    Hi Basia, why did you stop taking the Stemetil? Was it not working? Has the Serc worked better?
