My 17 year old son has been having health problems we have been trying to chase down for the better part of a year. After many referrals, many tests and my dead ends, we think we finally have a correct diagnosis of pppd (Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness) -a disorder tha appears is going to be a nightmare to deal with and has potential to affect him for the rest of his life. We could use your the prayers of you wonderful people.

My husband had BPPV and was cured in one visit to Dr James Atkins in Celebration, Fl. He walked into the office, described his symptoms, was dx'ed with BPPV, was treated in a machine right then and walked out cured. This was probably 10+ years ago and he has had no more symptoms. The machine put him through different maneuvers and positions. I That is the cure I spoke about in my previous comment. Truly a miraculous machine.
Name of the Machine? Informations
No idea what is name of machine- it obviously is made for this problem. The patient sits in it and a computer is programmed to move the machine around (upside down, etc like a roller coaster). There are probably newer, more improved machines now. I'm just reporting what my husband described to me
Ok, thanks anyway fren!!
There are bppv specific excercises to clear the crystals. Our doctor gave us a printout and my son did them for a few weeks. If you'd like I will see if we still have the sheet and I can post a copy for you.
