Thanks. I don't drink any caffeine since I am post op, and no sugar for me makes me dump

Vertigo is a terrible thing. One thing that you can take to help with the symptoms and is over the counter is meclizine - a motion sickness pill. Ask at the pharmacy for it - it is readily available and cheap. Best of luck - this pill was magic when I had vertigo.

That's the meds they gave me. Been helping a lot! They've also offered me a patch too? Have you had any experience with one of those?

yes, there is a motion sickness patch, you put it behind your ear - I actually had that in the hospital for nausea - I had forgotten about that until your mentioned it. Definitely try it to help, because vertigo is about the worse thing I have ever experienced - couldn't even get up off the bed. Mine resolved - think it was caused by a virus, I hope yours gets better.
