Thank you Heather.  Do you use any kind of support cane to help if it comes on unexpectedly?

Take care,  
Tony

                I have this issue. It is so bad that if I do not sit down, I will end up on the floor. The doctors do not know what to do. I have been self medicating with Dramamine which most people use for saling. Some times it works. I also purchased air purifiers for each room, it sometimes helps too. I become a waterbuffalo so it helps too. If I find an attack about to happen, I just sit down till it passes. Cheers Heather

Does anyone else deal with severe vertigo while also using a white cane?
 
Usually I can get around a bit with a support cane in the left hand and a white cane in the right hand but that doesn't always work especially when my tinnitus decides to declare war for days at a time.
 
I tried using a four footed cane for more balance but that just causes me to trip myself up more than the vertigo already does.
 
Does anyone have any other ideas?
 
Take care,  
Tony
