When I had that super Vertigo attack my eyes did funny rolling things too. Hubby thought I was having a stroke. Lasted hours, and ended up in the ER.

My just told me that is what my eyes were doing after my appendix ruptured and I refused to go in for treatment for a week. I ended up with a high fever and became septic after the infection started traveling through my blood stream. I started turning funny colors, I had vertigo and my eyes got screwed up. My wife finally said that if I didn't go to the hospital she was going to shoot me herself and put me out of my misery.

She says I am now an honorary woman because I have a scar that goes from hip bone to hip bone where they pulled out all my intestines out so they could wash out my entire infected abdominal cavity. I was told that if it were not for several hours of tedious nasty smelling surgery and modern antibiotics that I would be dead.

Maybe Hillary fell down and cracked her scull and had to wear funny glasses because something is giving her vertigo. Maybe her doctor should ask her if her tummy hurts.

You are lucky you have any intestines at all. Or are alive.

You sound like mine. Dr OD him on Crestor, he was jerking like some one took an cattle prod to him. Had to threaten to sleep in another bed if he didn’t go back on the old cholesterol med. He’d of died if I didn’t and I knew it. I won. I’m not ready to lose him any time soon.

I know I’m stubborn and hate the ER, but even I know when to give in. I react to a lot of meds, most are just local things that go away in a few days or a round of Predisone for Hives. But that Vertigo was not going away, took hubby 5 hrs to convince me to go to ER. Took them 4 hrs and 2 drugs to just get my eyes under control. Now I have Meniere’s unbalanced pressures in the ears. Causes the same symptoms. And for a first Vertigo attack I was very old, as it comes from 30-40 usually. I was 63.
