Everyone has crystals in their ears, there is a little pouch in your inner ear that holds these bits of calcium carbonate. Traumatic head injuries and some viruses can cause these crystals to shake loose and end up in the ear canal -- and this is what causes your nausea, dizziness and vertigo.

Our ear crystals are actually quite important they help us maintain our balance by sending signals through the nerves that help our brain to know up from down.

The problem you're experiencing is not uncommon at all and it is completely fixable.

The range of movements your doctor has given you (called the Epley Maneuver) should do the trick. Though you may not be able to achieve it on your own, you may need a doctor, NP or physical therapist to do the maneuver on you - and it may take more than one session.

It took me 3 sessions over the course of a few months to get it to stop completely.

Has calcium deposit in right ear, which is why I can no longer scuba dive, I can't clear my ears. Planes are fun...not.

I use peroxide and clean them well beforehand, it seems to help with the pressure. It only hurts on the way up and down

Hey, how us everyone doing with their eating plans and exercise doing?

I miss reading about everyone and it always gives me encouragement!

Zimmy, Kelt, Pinkie, Medusa (I am sure you are busy with reunion "stuff"), Jo (hope your mom is doing ok), Scorp, to name just a few!

My weight is staying the same. Not gaining, not losing. Still doing sit-ups and am shocked how easy they are now. Still doing 7-flights of stairs up and down. That, however, is still not at all shockingly easy-still sound like an asthmatic by the time I am finished.

I know the weight maintaining when I really want to lose more is the fiber. A teaspoon of Metamucil is 25 calories and as much as I am supposed to be eating, adds up. I still have to figure that one out!

Hugs healthy friends,

I do hope everyone is doing well. Please, do tell!

Hi everyone

I'm back from the trip out to see my mother and get things straightened out there....it went alright, but exhausting physically, mentally and emotionally to say the least. We stayed with friends (thank goodness or I'd have really lost it), but they are both very heavy and eat immense portions with lots of carbs...exactly what I'm trying to avoid.

I declined a lot, but didn't always, and even had a couple of diet Cokes....I was dreading the scale this morning. Amazingly, I only regained 1-1/2 pounds, so it's not anything difficult to cope with.

I'm back on the plan this morning....black coffee, 1 slice of whole wheat toast with tuna salad, and a banana for breakfast.

Where I'm falling down is exercise. I need to get back on that Mobia and just do it. It would work schedule-wise to get on it as soon as I return from delivering boys to school and before I have to start work, but Scoote is always still sleeping then and it's in the bedroom, so I hesitate. She says go ahead and it won't bother her....so I probably need to just do it (even though I'm sure it will disturb her sleep). I was going to wait until they move in a couple weeks, but that's really just procrastinating on my part I'm sure.

I wish I loved to exercise....sigh.

Hugs to you all.

This past weekend was my last days off before the reunion, so exercising is a no go for me. Since I get home around midnight from work and it was pushing in the low 80's here during the morning hours, I couldn't motivate myself to go in the morning. Now that it is in the 60's, woohoo, I will be making it a point to go this week! Most of my stuff is done for the reunion, except a few odds and ends that I need to pick up on Friday. I have to be packed by next Monday morning, since I will be leaving from work and heading to Jax. I am going to stick to my eating plan and walking as much as I can...

Have a great day!

Zimmy
