Oh, my statement wasnât from any sort of text or professional publication. Itâs just my (very faulty and unrealistic) opinion. And luckily the opinion of some of my doctors. I get frustrated at the lack of definitive answers that modern medicine can offer. And the âshrug-thats-good-enoughâ approach of some medical professionals. As a (brief, high-level) example, Iâve been told to sleep in a recliner above 45 degrees for the rest of my life. That isnât realistic for a human being. My PT echoed my response: not reasonable. And that should not be the answer to a problem. There must be a better way. I should be able to sleep well and flat, despite having a vestibular condition. There should be other prophylactics. But of course, the disparity between what SHOULD happen and reality is great. Essentially, Iâm whining about the limitations of modern medicine. 
Disappointing. I thought you might just have uncovered an admission in written words I could use as a weapon to browbeat medical professionals. I am so very sorry that your idealistic view of how things should be has been shot from under you so abruptly. I hazard you havenât had much first hand familial experience with Medicine before the appearance of this condition.
This made me laugh. (Maybe I should cry?) I wish. This is only my second prolonged experience with medicine. Both have been woefully inadequate. I suppose Iâll have more experience as my parents ageâand as I age, of course. At least my expectations are set low.
I slept at an angle for nearly two years during the worst period. Not a good long term solution for sure.
Iâm on a 10" wedge with a pillow or two on top (so far about 3 months). I started out higher but this is as high as I can go without sacrificing sleep. My neck and back suffer, though. Right after an attack Iâve been doing a 45-90 degree recliner, but I can only deal with that for about a week before Iâm running on fumes.
I found my hips suffered the most because they donât get a rest.
Ah yes that comment brings back memories of yore.
Do you find you have full ears which might link with your BPPV type attacks.
