Hi, my name is Crysta Lee and I have suffered from vertigo for the last 8 years, shortly after I had four dental implants surgically placed, an infection brewed I had no idea I had as it didn't have symptoms, until nearly 6 years after when one of my implants began to fall out. The Dentist sat down and gave me the news I dreaded. I had a severe bone infection called Maxilla Osteomyelitis, a rare type of bone infection in the face that Dr.s are not used to seeing. My luck, right? Following a massive surgery in the dental chair and more than 20 stitches in my upper mouth where the implant once was, I went home only to wake an hour later to my entire face swollen more than three times it's size. Panicked, off to the hospital E.R. I went, running red lights even because my face was getting worse. I was pulled over due to running a light and when the cops walked up to my window and saw my face, they said we will escort you to the E.R. By the time I got there, I was rushed in and admitted for 7 days. Following this, I was sent home with a pic line (a temporary permanent I.V. line, surgically placed) so I could then spend 8 weeks, three times a day, administering antibiotics and a weekly visit from the home health nurse.

This is the whole reason my vertigo began 8 years ago. Now, vertigo is chronic for me. Daily, I end up on the floor, vomit, and lay there for 3 hours only to spend the rest of the day losing my balance and dizzy. I am no longer able to go out to work due to me being a "risk" on the job because my severe vertigo. I am prisoner to my vertigo. I have hearing loss in the right ear and now I apparently have Menieres Disease. All I know is vertigo is the worst thing that ever happened to me. I hate it and there is nothing I can do about it yet.

There are many of us vertigo sufferers out there that cannot go out and work either. It is my dream to conceptualize a way for vertigo sufferers to make an income from home and at least not worry about the financial ruin not being able to work brings. I, myself, have an e-commerce store that has taken one year to begin to see profits. I want to think of a way to earn money sooner than one year. I am looking for other vertigo sufferers who would like to form a group to brainstorm this idea. I need help. I am a expert problem solver, and ENTP personality type. I just need others to help make this possible. Since we are stuck at home, lets put our heads together. If interested please leave a comment. Anything is possible. Lets do this. I hope others comment in interest. We can make this happen. Once a decision is made, there is nothing that will get in the way of that dream. Quote taken from the book by James Allen "When a Man Thinketh" One of the best books ever written. Audio of this book can be found on You Tube. If your stuck at home like me, maybe listen to this book. I look forward to comments below to brainstorm. Thank you,

Crysta Lee

    hi everyone

    my friend is in need of a great otolaryngologist to help her with a correct diagnosis and treatment plan. she has been thru hell as we all know too well. does anyone have any success stories ect with a doctor recommendation? i think she has been misdiagnosed 2x like i was (and may of us were) . she lives in US- california, so my doctor is out of question. she is struggling so much like the rest of us have. does anyone have a good experience with an otolatyngologist, ENT, ect that you can recommend for her? she is getting worse not better. any names that you have would be great and i can pass on to her.

    thanks everyone.

      I had same issue could not get to right doctor nor get proper medication for months! I still do not have a doctor nor diagnosis but at least a medication. I am located on east coast USA so we have here University of Maryland medical/dental school and John Hopkins. I suggest your friend try to find someone at university hospital or some well known hospital otherwise its a waste of time, money and your own health! I am still waiting for my case to be approved by neurology department at John Hopkins otherwise I do not know what I will do.

    Hi, sooo I am on almost third week of taking Nort (2 weeks 10mg and 1 week 20mg) and I see little bit improvement in dizziness but not quiet to the point where i could start functioning normally. My neck muscles are still pretty tense and feel very fatigue. How long did it take for you to feel some significant improvement? Do you think there is still chance that this medication will start working?
