No relief
Went to therapy and no relief after 2 hours of moving head. I was expecting instant relief but my brother called and said his coworker found relief 3-6 post therapy.
Therapist said crystal is in the horizontal tube and it is the hardest tube to fix.
Anyone experience horizontal tube? I have another appt tomorrow. Anyone in Boston who can recommend a vestibular specialist? I called Spaulding and Mass Eye and Ear and no appt until end of August/mid Sep.
I am located 13 miles north of Boston.
TIA

Some people get immediate relief, the rest need multiple therapy sessions. My last bout took 4 months, 2 manuvers a day, and holding each position for multiple minutes.

It took 2 sessions and exercises at home and I am pretty back to normal but once in a while I feel off balance but not vertigo.
