He held my head and then started moving it around like he was playing one of those 3D maze games and it immediately stopped the symptoms. I was floored. At that point, nobody had ever properly diagnosed it, and that includes docs at UCLA who put me in one of those rotating chair torture devices and spun me in all kinds of horrific positions! Ugh just thinking about it makes me nauseated.

Am pretty sure it is the right ear, but not positive yet.
