Has anyone with WG experienced vertigo ?

I was diagnosed 13 years ago and have damage to my septum and nose, resulting in Saddle nose deformity. I have experienced vertigo quite a few times requiring medication and I wondered if anyone else with many nasal symptoms of vasculitis has experienced this too, and what worked best for them.

John has not experienced this, but he said that vertigo is to do with the vestibular canals in the inner ear. The inner ear and middle ears are quite commonly affected by WG.

I do suffer from vertigo starts with a 'blocked muffly' ear sensation but since taking Pseudoephidrine 60mgs (only when it occurs) it really does help..I now get it on prescription. (WG 1999)

I have suffered with veriigo, quite a few times, one of the things that helps when it is not to bad is sturgeon a travel sickness tablet. Ask the pharmacist if it is ok to take along side other meds. If this does not work, I need a anti sickness injection.
