I've had this since last Wednesday. I don't know if it was brought on by food poisoning, or if the vomiting was just a symptom of the vertigo.
Everything just spins and spins and never stops. Can't walk straight. Thankfully able to eat food again after 4 days of not being able to hold down even water.
Diagnosis was probable vestibular neuritis caused by viral infection so stuff like the epley maneuver will not work. Received some medication but was told it probably won't help much. Severe nystagmus on the left side. Been a week and not much improvement..Bleh
Anyone ever have this before, and how long did it take to recover? It's so disorienting it's hard to concentrate on anything. Walking outside feels lethal. Lots of falling down.

I might guess some sort of ear infection or an eyesight problem. Either way if you've had this for more than a few days then see a doctor IMO.

Yes, went to the dr yesterday but was told there's not much that can be done. We ruled out any major neurological problems like stroke etc. due to lack of symptoms that would appear if it were something more serious, so it's not life threatening. But it is very very uncomfortable.

OK, some good news there then, I assume he checked out your ears. I should see an optician maybe then, in case you've suddenly developed a misalignment in one eye that's causing visual dissonance?
edit Actually you could try something beforehand - covering one eye for a period & seeing if that alleviates it.

Glad you are doing some better. Hope your recovery continues, and perhaps even find a cause to combat.
