Papa, they told me the thing about the calcium crystals or whatever getting out of whack possibly causing this. You've dealt with it for 14 years? Man, you're tough! This has knocked me on my butt. Just moving me head gives me the spins still. I was a total mess at the ER yesterday.
Sorry to hear that. I wish I could say I'm that tough! Luckily, mine isn't 100% of the time, which is the only way I can function. But when it does decide to rear its ugly head, it knocks me on my ass, too, so I can definitely relate.
The first time it happened, I was sitting in a chair on the beach, and it quite literally felt like someone had picked me up in my chair and quickly flipped it 90 degrees to the left! I actually felt that full motion, even though I hadn't physically moved a millimeter. I had no ability of sensing that I was actually sitting upright for 2-3 hours, my head was spinning so badly. Any movement of my eyes at all caused a similar sensation, and massive nausea/motion sickness. I sat staring down at the sand for all that time until it finally, slowly faded away.
I still can't ride in any kind of vehicle without being the driver without getting motion sickness almost immediately - obviously, this is a major inconvenience.
Unfortunately, mine isn't caused by the "crystals" problem, so that can't be helped with my situation...

I hope they get yours straightened out quickly for you! Let me know how you fare -
