Only time I’ve entered a gym since school is to vote in an election so I am about the last person to ask. He was lifting those huge tyres you get on Heavy Plant if that helps. Certainly heavy lifting was a good vertigo trigger for him.

Is there such a thing as a “good” vertigo trigger?
@Rob77, your current stage reminds me of this post I made back in the day:
I've had it guys ... I'm going to look into Perilymph Fistula (PLF) surgery
I thought this was going to be my silver bullet. (NB reader I never ended taking it up and improved dramatically anyway)
It’s about surgery which promised a potential end to my symptoms and the psychological stage I was at seems identical.

I’d been thinking about that post this whole discussion.

Yes came to my mind too. What put you off it if indeed you can pinpoint it @turnitaround? Was it Acceptance? They say it’s the Fourth stage of the Grieving Process and often the most difficult to accept maybe.
Only if you want a really ‘good’ debilitating dose I guess which incidentally he got.
Well spotted Em. Poor choice of word. ‘powerful’ or ‘effective’ maybe would have been better.

Acceptance and Hope. A tiny speck of Hope was all I needed, and Acceptance of my current circumstances (which to be fair, in my case, whilst annoying did not stop me leading a semi-normal life even if my symptoms were uncomfortable and distracting).

@turnitaround does seems very similar.

Some interesting testimonials here, if people go for that sort of thing.
One had imbalance and couldn’t walk I think

All the Best. Be so interesting to hear the outcome. I think you said it’s an Outpatient procedure. Without wanting to sound !ike Old Mother Hen do make sure there’s sufficient preparation for after care. Facilities for overnight hospitalisation, flexible hotel and flight dates etc. Just in case.

Thanks all. I’m having it in Berlin, US not possible anyway.
And everything is flexible, easy to extend a hotel or move back a flight. BA do some nice flights from Heathrow, and there is an excellent choice of hotels in Berlin,

Very best of luck Rob

I was a Boy Scout in a former life. Well a Brownie actually and very briefly a Girl Guide.
I will read it.
Rob,
You’d scheduled mid-August for the surgery. This is 8/21. How are you doing?

Starting to get a little worried Rob. We’re into September now. Are you ok?
