11. Helping spouse do Epley maneuver on bed just twice stopped vertigo

My 80 yr old spouse had to first take a Meclizine tablet to ease the vertigo. Then I helped him lay back on bed with pillow under head and directed and timed the head movements. Just doing the maneuver twice has relieved the vertigo for several months now.

Spouse had suffered from vertigo spells and we told our regular Dr. who only recommended taking Meclizine but never mentioned the possibility of head maneuver therapy so we were in dark. Thankfully a friend mentioned to us about crystals possibly being the cause and I looked it up online and found the Johns Hopkins Epley maneuver video.
