question on west nile
Hi Greg, I don't know the cause of the vertigo as I fit nearly
all the reasons you listed. Aging is especially bothersome. Have had it since I was in my 50s so I don't know. Accidents - yep, lots of 'em. Especially bad since I shot the house with my 12 guage shotgun! I shot the inside of the house and I was in the house!!! Was like my head was inside a barrel and someone was hitting the barrel with a stick ... was only checking to see if I had gotten all the shells out of the shotgun. Anyway, I haven't been able to hear well and have had lots of vertigo since this incident. But, I digress .... I'll make an appointment with my favorite ENT. I just printed out your diagnosis - to hand over to the doc. Thanks, Greg. Nedra http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Pines/4836 http://community.webshots.com/user/nedra118 "Gregory Young" wrote in message t... Nedra there are some vestibular exercises that are quite easy to do, that can clear up vertigo (depending on its cause of course!) Usual cause is thought to be dislodgement of small stones (otoliths) that rest on ciliary hairs in the inner ear, that give you your balance. When they dislodge and move, they can precipitate the vertigo. Current thought is following head injury (whiplash is often all it takes to precipitate it), aging, etc they sometimes "break free". The exercises are designed to get them to deposit and lodge in the end of the canal, and that can eliminate the problem. You need to see an ENT, who can correctly diagnose the cause in your case, as it could be something totally different. He/she can then prescribe the appropriate Rx, which varies based on cause. Fortunately the vast majority of cases are related to the above and quite benign, though they can be quite debilitating at times, as anyone who has had it can testify. Later, Greg "Nedra" wrote in message thlink.net... Bonnie ... I hate to shatter any of your ideas but I love getting up on the ladder to do work like changing the spot lights! With the vertigo I have I should take better care than I do ;-) Thanks for your concern though sweetie.

question on west nile
Does anyone have any of those Mosquito Magnet's? They look like they
would perform nicely, but I haven't heard from any real world usages.

I don't know if they would help all that much but was wondering if anyone here could tell me if they would help or not. I mean the fish wouldn't really move the surface water much. if they don't help I would like to be able to have an explanation as to why. tons of people are coming in and wanting tons of fish for there ponds when they don't know what they are getting into. I mean some wanted 50 for a fairly small pond, these people have not even put water conditioner in the water and some don't buy food for them. I am not allowed to say no to selling fish to them unfortunately  but right now I'msuggesting getting a few to start the pond off, like 3 -6. thanks |

question on west nile
I can get them from an ENT buddy, but they are hard copy only. If you send
me an email with your snail mail address, I can send them to you. They are easier to understand shown to a person, but you should have no problem in sorting through them.. Again, please be sure to see a specialist (as you said you would), as vertigo has some other not-so-nice causes, that you don't want to be ignoring!!
