I developed severe vertigo last year and had a Physical Therapist treat it with a simple maneuver called the Epley Maneuver.

This YouTube video shows different versions of it. I didn't need all of them----- the PT determines which ones.
Just one treatment worked for me----- although I did get a bit nauseated afterward and remained a bit dizzy (different from vertigo) I just waited in the waiting room until that passed before I drove home.

If I ever needed it again I'd have someone drive me.

"Developed by the American Academy of Neurology, the guideline "Therapies for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (an evidence-based review)" was published May 27, 2008, in the journal Neurology."

This site below explains about the 'rocks in your ears' that can be the cause of vertigo. :)

I hope it isn't Lyme either. I hope you get it all figured out so you can be stabilized. I just became hypothyroid and also have a migraine variant and don't have lyme and I got severe vertigo and I went to a neurologist that specializes in migraines. She put me on Topamax and it got rid of my vertigo entirely. I was on a little too much of it at first and it made off balance and I would almost fall over if I didn't grab something. I went down on the Topamax and it seems to have stabilized things. The neurologist also said it could be the thyroid causing the vertigo. But now that I'm stabile on the Topamax we're leaving things alone. I was so wiped out before taking synthroid I could barely take a shower. My regular family practice doctor said it takes months to get the brain stabilized on the right amount of thyroid. So if you went of the thyroid now you are hypothyroid it may take some time to get back to normal and less tired and dizzy. It has taken me 6 months to get pretty normal.
hope this helps.

When I had Babesia, a co-infection of Lyme that is like malaria, I was on a medication that can make you anemic. I tested my blood and no anemia, 3 days later I was in the hospital having a blood transfusion from bad anemia.
Crazy.

Yes my blood test was a bit weird too.....calcium was very high. Doc couldn't understand why when it was fina just a few weeks before. So she tested me for hormonial cancer and it wasn't that.Then she went on holiday for a month and I'm without a regular Gp again.

No I don't have a diagnose yet and i don't wan't it to be lyme. Have so many symptoms of it though.That's the problem

i've lost about 15 kilos since march and I haven't tried too. Just been so sick with nausea and balance and all the rest of it.I actually thought at first it was because I turned hyper thyroid after being hypo after 20years. But I found all those ticks inside at the same time that the dog brought in. I have always treated him  in the past. But not this time.My thyroid is barely funktioning at all.......have been back on the meds for some time now.Doctors(ER) at the hospital absolutely baffled and can't understand how this could be.
