"Some of our astute followers have noticed me slurring my words. I am not drunk but working with Brad it would be justifiable. I had 6 infected cysts removed from my mouth (noncancerous) and I have residual scar tissue and numbness. I will try to do better. Thanks Bob."
no worries ~ glad your getting help with that stuff~ you guys are my sweet angels to help with so many concerns ~ thank you and happy healing Bob!
I cant believe someone would comment on that. I have a few friends with lisps and/or speach impediments it caused a lot of anxiety for them. Regardless of cause of the speach, some folks are not kind or patient. You guys are really great, and sense of humor and comroderery is a real treat. Keep on going! I hope the insensitive comments don't dim your shine 💖
@@evonne315 - for those of us who have been watching their videos for years - it was a cause for some concern. It was not commented on to be cruel. I was concerned that perhaps it was MS.
@@maggiejohnson5891 Got you, no worries I hope. He said drunk and I took it serious but I see now it's joking. I don't always catch the cues, but thought it worth it to be supportive because I know what its like to be misunderstood. Anyhew. My bad. Sensitive types ya know! 🤷♀️ Thanks for your patience with me.
Glad you are recovering
I had severe vertigo after bumping my head following a surgery last summer. They thought it was infection causing the dizziness but it turned out it was the ear crystals were wonky. I couldn’t move hardly for two months and finally went to PT for evaluation and it was obvious pretty quickly what the problem was. When they tilted me back the first time, I literally screamed and they had two people holding me down because I felt liked I’d just been pushed outside a rocket in outer space and was flailing around. They did the Epley one time and the positioning absolutely freaked me out at first, but totally fixed it. It was amazing. I felt so much better. I had barely moved my head for the two months before so I was probably naturally cautious, but they didn’t mention doing anything special when I left. I slept that night in my bed. I realize it might not be the answer for everyone but I hate to hear about people suffering when this might be the cure for them.
Bless your heart!! I can’t imagine dealing with it for 2 months!!! 💙
I was also sleeping on my back and mostly left side cause pain on right side. I Even used a rice bag on my right so my head wouldn't rock to the right. Turns out I went to a gentle chiropractor who treated me and sd I was sleeping to much on the left. Took me 4 nights in the middle of the night a brain storm to realize" dang , try sleeping on right. The chiro treated the right side pain and i didn't realize it. No pain no migraine so.. I sleept on my right then on my back a min or two b4 going to left.
Amazing no vertigo or vestibular imbalance. I can get our of bed without any visual disturbance. Yay. Thank you Jesus for that inspiration and vision
This is why I ALWAYS go to a chiropractor FIRST and a "doctor" as a last resort. I'm glad you're OK!
In my opinion, you guys are the best for what it is worth
I agree 😊
Thank you!
Right? The info is quality but to me it is the way I feel after hanging out w them. I feel hope for my Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome issues AND I feel like I had some fun social interaction. A rarity the past few years. Thank you
@@songbird427, aww that’s so nice. What is the condition you have? I’ve never heard of it. I hope I’m not being too nosy. Just tell me to bug off if I am.
@@teresacox2511 It’s a genetic disorder that can cause a variety of problems. Chronic widespread pain, dysautonomia, and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, etc.
Refreshing to have these two good natured experts include the phrases: “They don’t really know what causes it.”, and “The theory is (so far).” It takes confidence and experience to use that.
I am beyond grateful I found you guys,my sister suffers from vertigo,just last month she had a very scary episode of vertigo,she fainted and hit her head so hard she got a concussion,it’s been a month since and she still in bed rest,because of the accident she is now dealing with anxiety and panic attacks,I’ve been trying to educate myself and the family as well to help her and understand how we can help her ,she is miserable and my heart breaks for her.
Instead of sharing that miserable story with complete strangers, there are a million websites you can visit to send prayer requests to. It has worked for me many times.
@@HorseshitDetectionAgencyReally? Have some empathy and some sympathy! And if only prayers worked, no one would be sick!
I love being able to cure whatever ailments I have by watching your videos! Hoping my vertigo will disappear after watching this! Thank you for all that you do!! Appreciate you both so much 💕🙏🏼😊
Me2. I have so many friends that go to doctors all the time. They don't even try
This has helped tremendously I got so sick the dizziness lasted a week but now with this procedure I’m so much better
I wish more doctors knew about this, I spent years being treated for inner ear infections until I got spent to a specialist. It was as if the performed an exorcism on me! But oh my gosh did it ever work! Then I took my 81 year old mother and sure enough it was why she kept falling down. Now I do it to myself, but rarely does it still happen. Glad you guys are getting this message out!
I always thought vertigo was just dizziness. When it happened, it was like being on the worst fair ride ever. It was crazy strong and just awful
Yes it is so awful 😞 this technique really makes a difference. May not be perfect afterwards but I would say pretty darn close
With Vertigo the whole room.spins.
Vestibular is lighter version of dizziness
Even aging affects balance. Exercise putting foot in front of the other . Hard to do. Or stand facing a corner the touch the opposite wall with opposite hand...such as left hand to right wall .
Or focus on your extended hand with 1 finger up. Focus on it and turn head to right then to left with eye focused on finger. .had all this for 2 mos.
Put belladonna oil in my ears and seemed to stop these issues
@@maryjanesteinbrecher3953 thank you, I’ll try that. As I’m getting older I’m having problems with my balance with lots of dizziness. My sweet little momma suffered from vertigo so badly. She’d be in bed for days throwing up. So very sick. Once I took over her health care I took her to an ear nose and throat doctor and he diagnosed her with vertigo. He gave us a print out of these maneuvers and I took her home and the next time she started to get dizzy we tried them out and she was back on her feet right away. She was even able to swing in a swing for the first time since she was a kid without getting sick. She cried she was so happy. Now I use these maneuvers when I start to get the dizzy head as momma called it.
I call it "the spin cycle" because I feel like I'm inside my washing machine.
Mine is so bad I cant stay down to see if the maneuver even works. 20 seconds and I have to sit up. The room spins so violently!
You guys taught me the skills to recover range of motion after subacromial decompression surgery. I didn’t waste a day before crawling up the wall with that hand after leaving the hospital. I followed your moves to the letter and recovered very very quickly. No frozen shoulder for me! Now I need help with vertigo and voila’ here you are. Talking my kinda words. Ima get to it and see if I can get off this merry-go-round.
Thank you! What helped most Was your explanation of what to expect. I wasn’t worried. It worked and I will take the day easy. You guys are the best!
I suffer from vertigo regularly. It sucks! I appreciate this video so much. Thank you!
I had BPPV. I was so scared. Very fortunate that my doc did the Epley. Worked right away. Had one more episode and the Epley fixed it again. No further issues.
Great to hear!
@@BobandBrad same ..one treatment and cured!
What type of doctor did you see?
@@lauragerlach2849 Neurologist
Your scientific explanation is amazing and the help you offer to people is invaluable.
Thank you very much. We are so happy to be able to help
True very
You guys are so funny!!!!
I had a bad sinus and ear infection years ago, and I had bad Vertigo.
I had this done to me twice by an ENT doctor 25 years ago when it was then called the Canalith Positioning Technique. It improved my dizziness 90%, and the remaining 10% went away by itself. I then enjoyed rough roller-coasters with multiple inversions with no problems!
Thank you so much Bob and Brad! I keep having the feeling of falling with my vertigo and after a few times, I end up vomiting. Thank you! You guys have saved me money and time!
I love you two! I just got back from my local physical therapist who is the specialist on vertigo. Right posterior canal BPPV it is. Not severe, yet I don't need to fall (again). I didn't remember falling until minutes ago when I heard you say it! A couple of months ago I fell because I side stepped, crossing my feet & the boot lace of my right boot got caught in the top lace hook of the left boot. I didn't think I got hurt & although I told my osteopath doctor when I saw her the next time (they always ask about falls since I'm 72) I totally forgot about it. I was told to keep my head straight... Yes! Very hard to do, so once I got home I dug out my old soft neck brace. I was told to sleep in my recliner for the next night or two & contact the physical therapist in a day & a half to see if I need to go back. I'm quite confident I can home treat myself now, with her advice & y'all backing up what I was told. I'm also glad to know I can go back to her if I need help again. She spent over an hour with me... Partly because we got talking about other health stuff & my DO is also her primary care doctor. Thank you for all the information you share! ☮️🙏🏼💞
This video came along for me at the perfect timing. I had the worst case of Vertigo last night that I've ever experienced. It reminded me of a carnival ride that I went on as a kid and it spun all around and upside down and I screamed for the ride operator to Please let me off. Unfortunately I didn't have that option last night. I'm definitely going to give your recommendation a try... Thank you Bob and Brad...
Please let us know if it works
Sorry you had to go through that. It’s the worst feeling ever. Do try the maneuver and have someone help you. It really works
Happy to help!
I feel for you. I went through this 2X two weeks ago and still suffer residual dizziness today! It’s horrible! Get well!
I've had to do this a couple of times a year and it works well.
There are some really good you tube videos that show the Eply maneuverer step by step. I have used this to treat my wife's BPPV successfully.
P.s. thank you also for your senses of humor and sharing when you have had these things. It eases my mind.
I've had vertigo the last 2 days, so horrible yesterday I was walking into door frames and then started vommiting.
Thank you so much for sharing 🌟
Ive been searching for online therapist but this really helps alot.
Thank you! This was sudden. Debilitating. And there you are Bob and Doug! What gifts you give us. ❤❤❤❤❤🇨🇦
You two are pure gold!
I've been suffering for 5 years now. It took a long time to figure it out. I never notive my dizziness I just get super sick and not just stomach but also intestinal also. Now I notice a wooziness and I sit or lay down. If I don't a mess is coming. Epley helped a lot.At first I thought I was allergic to work. Just joking but it happened with ever bend down, look up left or right. Showering was always because of washing my hair. This su.mer I went swimming and came up out of the water throwing my head and when I got home I had a bad hit. It was very debilitating for me. Good luck with the epley manuevers. They do help.
Thank you for the thorough demonstration.
This exercise works amazingly well.
You two gentlemen are the best. Love your humor and appreciate your knowledge and instructions.
Thank you 🤗
Thank you - you guys are the best! I really appreciate your help.
Just had vertigo for the first time last week. Trusty B & B come through for me again! Thank you guys🙏🏻😍
I also should note that I had vertigo about 8 or 9 years ago after getting sick. I had the flu and my ears were full of fluid. I kept trying to “pop” my ears and I think that caused my ear drum to be perforated. I am not lying when I say I had vertigo for 6 months. It was the worst time of my life!!! No one told me about the Epley maneuver. One day after moving my jaw around one day, I felt a POP. The next day the vertigo was gone!!!! And one more thing! Haha
After performing the maneuver, what I learned is to stay upright for a minimum of 48 hours to let the crystals settle. 24 hours was not long enough!!! Thank you!
Wow this was miraculous for us!! One week of extreme vertigo had me feeling concerned that this was going to be months of testing etc. We live in a loft with extreme stairs in a rural area and worry about my safety was mounting as I found it very difficult to do the farm chores.
Then this video.
Then one treatment
Then voila!! I’m cured.
Prayers of gratitude to you both!
Vertigo is very scary. It happens to me occasionally, it happened at work yesterday! That caught me off guard. Thank you for this presentation.
Thank you guys
Thank you, your techniques are so very helpful !!
What a useful video! I woke up this morning with vertigo like never before, definitely positional vertigo. I, nervous to try this exercise, but I will try it. What kind of specialist should I see for this issue, a physical therapist? Much appreciated ❤️
Thank you Bob and brad
I have this periodically. The nausea is horrendous and the condition is really terrifying .Never heard of this excercise. I am going to practice when not dizzy so that i know what to do easily, if i get sick again with it. Thank you !
I recommend it. Make sure you’re not alone and have someone to help you. I understand the terror, I’ve been there too. It’s horrible. This truly helps
I have described it as having food poisoning while riding the tilt-a-whirl amusement park ride. I agree, the nausea is horrendous. The first time I had it, I got an injection of fenigram (sp?) to stop the nausea. Thankfully my doctor also knew enough to recommend the Epley maneuver! It really helped me. I hope you get similar results with it. I’m so sorry to hear you get it periodically.💙
You’re very welcome
I have had two bad episodes recently and the Epley Maneuver was a lifesaver. My Vertigo comes on when my allergies are causing drainage in my ear canal. I
Terrible condition. Nausea and fear it comes with is terrible.
Thanks guys. This is a huge help
Worked for my sister & her dog!
Blessing and healing to you both, as you do unto us! Thank you so very much. 😇😇
Thank you!
I had horrible vertigo for several months (6 to 8 months) as part of Long Haulers. I NEED this exercise. I'm much, much better now but still get it from time to time.
Thank you so much. This makes it better.
This might be exactly what I needed I’ll see
I hope it helps you...I messed up my back once and they put a video that same day with some back stretches and helped me out big time goodluck
Praise the Algorithm!
I love your videos B&B. Thank you for helping me so often! Hugs! 💗
excellent explanation guys !
Thank you for the excellent videos.
I love watching you both as you are very entertaining..Happy New Year and thank you for the education
Over a year ago i read a lot of comments thanking you guys for help and they are cured etc. i thought exaggeration BUT 1 year on and my shoulder is more or less cured! By following your exercises. So thank you very much gents!
You guys are so whesome and i thank God for all your help , with many blessings to both of you and your family.
I meant wholesome .
thank you guys you are awesome you are very helpful and genuine
Went to sleep drunk and woke up dizzy for 4 days this video helped still a little dizzy but not going crazy dizzy maybe from my head spinning nonstop for days
Thanks for this I am sharing it with my friends on Facebook.
Perfect
Thanks this really worked for me!!
Thanks for this very useful video! ❤
I was deployed to Iraq and came home with tinnitus. I have requested to get checked out for Traumatic Brain Injury, but ever since I came back from Iraq I have experienced at least one or two falls per week. I will try this Epley Maneuver and hopefully will reduce my falls.
Thank You for your Service.
I Pray it helps you.
Thank you for service!! ❤
I get vertigo enough to know it is genetic and can also be helped with dramamin or bonine (i think that's how they're spelled) they help a lot! It is debilitating for me when it comes on I'm wiped out until it passes. I have several family members that suffer with it as well. The struggle is real. Good luck to you👍
🙏💙
Good luck!
@@BobandBrad you can also do eye exercises with eyes looking up-down-rt-left... Etc
for about 3mins.
The semi somersault maneuver is also great. Great analogy with the lever
I also have experience dizziness and lost of balance I have hearing loss for more than 10 years now thanks for sharing information on vertigo
I just had vertigo two days ago...I could have used this big time! Thank you for the info!
You’re very welcome. Best of luck
Thanks so much. Let's hope this works. 😊
I'm so glad I saw your video. I am having dizzy spells as we speak and did not see my doctor yet as some days the vertigo is less and I don't see the need to. It is especially getting up in the morning and gets less during the day. Sometimes I find myself walking sideways like a I'm drunk and I don't even consume alcohol. I will definitely try this exercise. Thank you so much.
Gentlemen. You have become a point of reference, giving me some peace of mind quite often. So thank you for that, and I hope Bob experiences minimal oral discomfort. Cheers. 😎🇨🇦
Thank you guys watched the older Video but this is great too. It helped with my leftside vertigo so you earned a sub great work trough all this years greetings from Austria.
❤🎉 I just want to Thank You Guys Bob&Brad!
You guys have helped me thru my journey of CRPS and Peripheral Neurapathy that includes the right side of my head including my face.
You guys are part of my support group😂❤
I have had this now for six months...driving me nuts. Thanks for this easy to understand treatment. Fingers crossed it works.
Good luck !
My son & I were JUST talking about his vertigo!
alexander ticefelt
I have those “coincidences” all the time 🙄
I'm curious why what is put in front of us is selective though. We also talked about drugs, prisoners right, EDD not paying people, & college. Imagine some of the OTHER convos everyone has. Haha. Someone's ears are bleeding LOL
This always works for me! 👌
Great to hear 👂
So excited you did on this I can hardly wait to show my husband! It’s a horrible feeling unfortunately I have had it too. Dr. Did a procedure on me that helped 🙏
I will try this.
It worked for me. The spinning went away, however, I have a problem with my shoulder that runs upward the neck that the swaying doesn't seem to go completely. It's so much better though! Thank you for sharing your wisdom and legacy! May God show His face to you, bless you and keep you always!
You guys are great. I have watched many of your outstanding videos. I had vertigo years ago, and the Epley worked for me.
Thank you
Thank you so much ! I suffer from this all the time .
Happy to help
Thanks for the explanation
That was great advice
With the don’t look down
What about work
And looking down for 1 to 1-1/2 hours
I would think a snow globe as a visual example of allowing the crystals settle in the right place. Thank you gentlemen you advise has been valuable. Have a Happy New Year. 🎊
Thank you I had a bad one last night looking back and to the right! Could feel my eyes moving and started feeling sick laid still to the right and it went away - now I know what to do!
Happy to help
A doctor used this years ago on my Mom with great success. I wish I had paid more attention beecause now I occasionally have vertigo. Will be saving this one. Thanks!
Happy to help
I got vertigo and was bad for a month. A phy.sal theripist did the treatment you just did and I was good after two treatments. It was like a miracal. No more - its been a long time now!
Suffering with this now! I’m so sick! Will try this move. I’ve been sick for 2 months now. Seeing my ENT in 2 weeks. Have waited 2 months already! Hope this works!
My poor boyfriend had this for four days and he said it was worse than when he almost died of pneumonia. He said he couldn't do anything, laying down was his only option. It finally went away on its own.
I've had this done before. It works. PT had a fun time doing this procedure on me, my left eye is a prosthetic soooo you can just imagine him trying to look at that eye. Worked the first time. I go vertigo 2 weeks after knee replacement surgery.
Has anyone heard of BPPV being triggered by a knee replacement?
I have had it for a whole year...since getting my new knee November 2021.
My new knee is fine.....it's just the lack of balance that is the problem. I was not expecting this after a knee replacement.
Can anyone please explain the connection?
Thank you
Thank you for this refresher. This is a challenging ailment to come to terms with for me due to its recurrent nature (not everyone's experience.) Didn't really understand why. Oddly enough addressing glut weakness due to a tailbone injury, low back pain with floor exercise all of a sudden change in orientation would elicit BPPV - a domino effect. I once recently awoke in bed experiencing BPPV, finding my head in that trigger position. Had no idea BPPV would occur while a person's sleeping.
How did you guys know I had a vertigo episode start today???
Ugh, I have this. Don't look up at the stars, don't look under the cars. The rocks in my head come loose. Yep🤣🤣🤣 the level is an excellent visual aid❤ I enjoy staying not dizzy. Thank you.
You’re very welcome!
Thank u
LOL yeah... "the effective curse" of the Epley maneuver! Someone had to think of this lapsus linguae! If you know what that is, and no, it's not a disease! You guys are fun to watch, and instructive to boot! What more could anybody want?
I experienced vertigo this year from being on a rocky boat. It lasted a few hours after getting off said boat. I would lay down, close ny eyes and could still feel it. Within 24 hours I was all clear.
This sensation of sensing movement after you’ve actually gotten off boat, car, plane, train… is known as, Mal de’embarkment Syndrome. I went on a 5 hour white water rafting trip. When it was over my balance was so bad fell over. The intermittent dizziness and rolling lingered 2 years!
This works!
I’ve always found scattered thinking causes vertigo… if you can pull your thoughts in as soon as the vertigo starts it tends to go away more or less immediately.
Y’all’s explanation is spot on! I jerked my head while sleeping from a dream and immediately got vertigo. My balance was so off any movement made me nauseous. I was vomiting for hours. I went to the ER and luckily the doctor performed the Epley maneuver. He said some doctors wouldn’t perform this. It took a few tries to get it right, but it worked. It didn’t completely cure me, the vertigo lingers. I’ve done this maneuver multiple times but still not perfect. I’m hoping over time, it will get back to normal! It has caused a lot of anxiety for any time I get a touch of dizziness that it will happen again. It’s a very scary feeling to lose control of your balance. This maneuver is a life saver. Thank you for making and sharing this video!
It really is so scary! I hope you get permanent relief soon! 🙏🤞
You’re welcome and thank you for sharing!
I get residual dizziness for weeks following a vertigo attack.! Horrible! Get well soon!
Excelkent video, and thank you! I've had what I think is vertigo the last couple days, following a mild cold virus. Can these exercises be done to prevent another episode? Mine come out of the clear blue, watching TV and the other day while standing combing my hair! Room starts spinning and BP skyrockets also. It's over with in a minute or two, but itso very scary. I will try these exercises.
After surgery to remove a tumor from my spinal column (1 Yr) I was walking out to my car after work and without any warning I found myself laying on the ground with a severe case of vertigo. For several years after I would have bouts with it a couple of times a year and from time to time I still have small episodes.
Some things that would trigger it were, 3D video games, laying in bed with my head turned the right, quick up and down movements and sometimes I would just wake up with it.
No one can understand how debilitating it can be unless you've experienced it. The closest thing I can thing of is severe sea sickness which I've had also.
Thanks for your video...
My doctor taught me this when I happened to a vertigo episode while I was in her office. It's amazingly easy and more importantly it works!
Great to hear!
I woke up with vertigo 18 hours after getting a flu shot!!! That was a month ago, so I hope this maneuver helps!
HI Bob and Brad. Have you a cure for tinnitus please and thank you 😊
Thanks for all of your videos, and I hope Bob is doing well. Aren't there in each ear inner ear tubes going in three different planes, so that one needs to diagnose which plane is being affected? There are different maneuvers for moving the crystals depending on which ear and which plane is affected? The Epley Maneuver is more for the posterior canal?
I've had the vertigo now just over a year. First my ENT diagnosed it as Vestibular Neuritis gave me some prednisone said the dizziness should be gone in a week. It wasn't.
Next stop a Physical therapist you have a crystal in your right ear. All last summer I did therapy including the Epley maneuver well over 100 times.
Next up my ENT said no you have a Vestibular Migraine. prescribed me Venlafaxine ER 37.5m (a anti-depressant). Take this for 2 weeks and you'll be fine. I take one at 10am. By noon the vertigo is 80% gone. Cool. At 2am the next morning I wake up with a blinding headache. Since I don't get headaches and I had read if you take this medicine you might want to monitor your blood pressure. So I take my blood pressure. It's 196/101. Yep off to the emergency room we go.
Anyone who can point me in the right direction you get a $100 bill in the mail. No B.S.
Thank you for posting. I have vertigo issues from time to time that was treated with meclizine and fenegran(not sure of spelling). It is interesting you mentioned head injuries as potential causes. From childhood to now being 63, I have had multiple head injuries with one leading to a concussion and broken jaw from playing mens softball and another from falling about 7 foot out of a tree onto my head when I was around 9. LOL
Fenegran is a life saver for vertigo!!! I ran out of meclizine once and found out the Bonine is the same thing but over the counter. I always have that on hand for travelling, so was so thankful to discover that.
@@lemonlime1920 We did the Road to Hana in Maui without me realizing what I was getting myself into. I was turning green. Thank goodness my wife had some zofran (spelling?) and the guide gave me ginger candies. I survived but it was a rough day.
@@rickcormier9160 holy cow, that sounds rough!!
Meclizine does help with dizzness.,and keeping water on the bedside table at night, I also keep drops for the ears,
@ Rick Cormier that's why they sell shirts that way " I survived the trip to Hana".
I can't believe this showed today (Tuesday July 27,2021). I landed out in ER on Friday and this was diagnosis. I have been at home in bed since. Will call Physical therapist and ask for this treatment.
I hope you feel better soon! You can do these at home too. Go very slow because it can make you feel worse while you are doing them but you will feel better afterwards
Best of luck!!
