When I had turned 60 I began to experience vertigo for the first time and managed to keep that in check by taking L-Lysine, which is one of the essential amino acids. Most causes of chronic vertigo and Meniere's disease (including tinnitus) are believed to be actually caused by the Epstein Barr Virus's neurotoxin inflaming the vagus nerve. L-Lysine lowers that EBV load and also acts as a central nervous system anti-inflammatory, therefore L-Lysine can also shut down vertigo, but not in all cases. In my case I can not go up staircases where there are gaps between the steps and gaps between the handrails either side, where at such times if possible I use a lift/elevator instead. I can also not go up or down a staircase which goes up or down from a great height, such as found in railway stations etc. I am now 73 years old and only a few weeks back I began to experience that head spinning sensation for the first time. I increased my dose of that aforementioned L-Lysine and now I only experience that head spinning sensation when I try to lie down on my bed each night. I found that keeping my eyes closed whilst lying down seemed to help a great deal. Also I now sleep on an elevated pillow which helps. too. Many appreciative thanks for the information you have provided!
It really is one of the worst feelings I have ever experienced! I hope that you are able to keep it in check and you feel better. Thank you for the info on the L-Lysine.
