13. The Epley exercise works great for me.

I "crack" my neck from side to side and I think that's how my crystals get misplaced. I also sleep on one side or the other but not on my back. I think my crystals move to one side that way. I had also used an over the counter medicine called Bonine, for motion sickness that helped immediately. One pill would stop the spinning. I do the Epley exercise in a bed and it works! (basically turning your head around, kinda). Flashing lights in Nightclubs or some big screen movies can trigger vertigo. The Epley exercise works the BEST for me.May take a day to feel exactly right.
