    To the best of my knowledge, vertigo describes a disorder which causes
    dizziness or giddiness.  There are different kinds.  One kind is
    positional vertigo.  When you change positions (i.e. go from laying down
    to standing or standing to laying down) you experience uncomfortable
    symptoms.  The room can seem to be spinning at times.  It depends on
    what is causing the vertigo as to whether or not it is treatable.  
    All I can remember is that one variety goes away within 24 hours if
    you treat it with a decongestant.  The other kinds hang around longer.
    If the decongestant doesn’t work.. you may experience symptoms from
    two weeks to six months.  Traditional doctors will try to give
    you valium and a drug called anti-vert to help you deal with the
    symptoms… but these can sometimes just make you drowsy and out of it
    and they don’t effect the underlying cause.

    hope this helped…

    Naomi, how about using the word ‘conventional,’ instead of ‘traditional’?
    Traditional is a good word to describe everything that came before the
    oppressively-conventional modern medicine.

    Conventional is a fine way to describe modern male medicine…

    ‘Scoose me! for rudely (_I_know!) interrupting the

    my *semanticist-ic* slip is showing:

    Personal opine:
    Conventional came before traditional
    as it necessarily was generally accepted
    (at least by the ‘hander-downers’)
    before being handed down

    1995 _non-alternative_  (read ‘most’) medical personnel
    dictatorially (can almost read ‘oppressively’) disseminate
    conventionally traditional advice

    Pre-*modern* medicine medical personnel
    disseminated traditionally conventional advice
    ..

    "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen…"
    Tradition turned this phrase into conventional phrasing…
    Traditional (USA, anyway.. handed down speaker to speaker,
     event to event), yet, perhaps no longer considered conventional
    (phrase usage no longer based upon *agreement/usage* of the masses)
