Re: BPPV

Re...BPPV Yes, everyone is different. Momentary incidents of vertigo
may even last a lifetime. What I am saying is that it should not go
untreated for so long that it causes one to quit their job or lose a
spouse. There is a surgery available for those that are not helped by
traditional Epley, Semont or Brandt-Daroff maneuvers. One should not
throw in the towel and give up. Go to a large university hospital and
make an appointment with someone in their otology or otolaryngology
department. The surgical procedure for BPPV symptoms that do not
respond to repositioning is posterior canal plugging (can be
laser-assisted). There are other surgical procedures (on the vestibular
nerve itself) that some very skilled surgeons can perform but this
surgery has been deemed inadvisable by many professionals because it's
like killing the dog to get the flea.

Joel....I liked what the one person said about putting the impression
material itself right into the mouth rather than using a plastic device
to hold it. What do you think about it?
