My mom gets it during the winter season, every year. She's been to the doctor's, and they ruled everything else out. She has a prescription and exercises to help alleviate the problem, but it just never seems to go away. Any suggestions??

I had vertigo and I had to have a surgery within my ears to correct it.
Believe it or not, you actually have "crystals" inside your ear that control the balance of your equilibrium. When these 'crystals' get knocked out of place... vertigo happens.
See an inner ear specialist. They'll know more of what to look for. Prescriptions and exercise may not be enough. Good luck!

Once in awhile at the end of every month when I was still working my bedroom and I would spin like a top. We had allot of numbers ETC. to check and balance, much eyestrain etc... Four years ago I had it so bad I could not get off the sofa to go you know where, no one was here, I dialed 911 & in five minutes I had EMTs in the house. Two were women and helped me into the bathroom then they took me to the ER where the doc. gave me something that made it worse. They kept me for observation, but didn't come up with what caused it. It was disturbing and somewhat embarrasing

My mother has Vertigo also. It is hard for her to lie completely flat(like for an MRI). It has gotten slightly better since she had gastric bypass surgery and lost alot of weight, but there is really no cure that we know of.
