I suddenly starting having bouts of giddiness and sickness in January 2014 and for the next5/6 months was back and forth to hospital for MRI scan and consultations. The scan was fine and Vertigo was diagnosed and tablets prescribed which I was taking three times a day, even when I wasn't feeling giddy just in case! I was afraid to go out on my own in case the giddiness came on and certainly wasn't driving. The hospital had discharged me and more or less said I would have to live with the condition. They gave me a sheet with a couple of exercises to try that might help, but nobody showed me how to do the exercises or explained any further. I felt very dispondent and went back to my G.P. Thank goodness I did, because he then referred me to Dr. Vanniasegaram and his Clinic. Practically the first thing Dr. V. said was that he treated this condition with exercise rather than medication. I saw him on Thursday 12th June 2014 and started the exercise class the following Monday and haven't needed the tablets since. Dr. V gave me his mobile no. and e-mail to contact him if I had any problems and that was very comforting to know I could contact him if needed. I'll be honest, I was a little sceptical before starting the class - I'd been feeling so bad and I couldn't see an end to it and the thought of exercise as a cure I couldn't believe it, but now a year on it's all so much better and Monday evenings was something to look forward to - not only was it doing me good but it was fun as well and that was due to Simon who runs the class and made it so enjoyable. If that class does not continue there will be a lot of people (of all ages) very disappointed apart from those poor people who are suffering from Vertigo now and who will not have the opportunity to ttry this pioneering technique for such a debilitating condition. If it's working why change it! It works!!
