I am on day 11 of a 12 day prednisone regimen after attack. . I posted on here shortly after I started and started feeling better after like day two at which time the fullness almost totally disappeared and my hearing was much better in the right ear. The dosage is down to morning and evening, but I woke up this morning and my head seemed full again (pressure) and I could not hear in my right ear as well. Also just a general woozy feeling. No more episodes of vertigo at this point. I thought the prednisone had cleared up my problem. Also feeling woozy today. No more episodes of vertigo at this point. I thought the prednisone head cleared up my problem, but I'm wondering if this pressure or fullness is because the dosage has been reduced and is almost over. I do not go back to the doctor until a week from tomorrow.

    I have been suffering for a year now. Recently I found out Dramamine and boy it has been a life saver. I use the less drowsy version and it clears my vertigo in 30 mins. But I take it only as needed and always have a pack with me when I leave home. I hope this helps someone and hoping that there is a cure for this soon.
