lonbordin Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Stop drinking! Sorry couldn't resist... maybe you should see the doctor?! Online forums are really not the best place for this type of advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seraph Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Have you had any recent incidents in which your head was shaken? You have these little bones and liquid in your inner ear and if the little bones get stuck that can cause some wicked vertigo. The solution is pretty simple and a doctor can fix it if that is the problem. Either way go to a doctor because it could be quite a few things.

I dont think so but maybe... wicked powder and some falls over the weekend. It's already cost me a chance to earn $310 plus residuals for a commercial for our drumline. Hopefully I can talk to the production company and give them my info to get in. I'm co-drum captain AND I have a major solo in our show, I don't see how because I missed a rehearsal because of my vertigo that I can't be in it. I really don't want to go, it just cuts into my school/drumline time... hopefully I can make an appointment that doesn't interfere with the line.

Allee Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Go to the doc. I've had something similar and it was caused by an ear infection. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveInOregon Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 I got something similar to that once in a plane , I was a VFR pilot ( Visual flight rules ) and not use to IFR ( instrument flight rules ) and got into the high fog I had to stair at my panel to stay up right and alive. I think JFK's son & his new wife died in a light plane over long island because he flew into heavy cloud and minimum visibility, he got vertigo like disorientation and gently flew into the ground, sad.:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEC Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 I dealt with this about a year ago, and still have a tad bit of it now and then. It's debilitating - and in my case was caused by having had some little crystals break off of the micro hairs inside my middle ear. They bounce around in there instead of slowly swaying the hairs back and forth to give you a sence of proper equilibrium. Bouncing crystals=no sense of balance. It sucks. Get yourself to a proper Ear, Nose & Throat MD asap. I needed a few trips to a physical therapist to knock the stupid crystals back to where they belong. Eventually they can get reabsorbed by your body and stop making you feel like the ground is moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no visible horizon to keep him from flying right into the ocean. That was the final report from the NTSA. I see plenty of people with acute vestibular neuritis. They usually don't have headaches.....you need to see someone ASAP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arclite Posted March 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 woot drummers! eeek! my right foot is my groove. I've forbidden myself from the double-pedal It's working out great. A lot of people ask me how I do those "double-bass" patterns with a single pedal. I'm working on linear stuff right now. r-l-k-l-r = GOD look up "the drew groove" on youtube. Not a big fan of Ian myself. I'm a Jojo Mayer guy. and Aaron Spears. Did you ever play shows in LA? When/where? I'm having trouble because we were bringing 35 guests at 5 bucks each right? But some of the other venues we're looking at, and good opportunities to play are from 12-20 bucks, 30-50 guests. Thats not so easy... OH and I'm fine now. idk what it was, but it was in on monday, gone by thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya I played the Whiskey and Roxy many times, also lots of private gig's and festivals. I am going to buy a doulbe pedal only because I cant use my broken right ankle / pedal foot so I am going to experiment with left-hihat foot as my kick foot. Ya I will go look at that youtube you mentioned.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of openings, but expensive tickets and a big ticket quota are taunting us... Which pedal are you getting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 I've been having issues with that as well. Labrynthitis Just went to the doc today and he said that's most likely what I've got. I had a head cold a couple weeks ago and it got into the inner ear. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr D Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 I deal with at least one of these cases a month. most of them are upper cervical nerve pressure that is relatively easy to fix via adjustment to the C1 vertabra the rest end up at the neurologist or the ENT (ear nose throat specialist) Get it checked. Your Chiropractor can check the upper cervical issue and refer you to the right specialist if necessary! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
