He called it the Epley maneuver and there are a lot of YouTube videos about it if you want to see what's involved. I think it only works for BPPV so they'd probably have to test for that first. The test just involves having your head turned to the side and down about 30 degrees so I had to scoot up on the exam table so it would hang over the end. If that starts the spinning and your eyes do this weird movement (Dix-Hallpike test), they know it's being caused by BPPV.
Hey. You didn't video your eyeballs doing weird things to show us? I'm totally bummed now.

....wouldn't it have been simpler to have strapped yourself upside down in the Tilt-A-Whirl?...then had a lovely lemon shake-up after, that coincidentally you could mix yourself?...:D

Ive landed in Minneapolis on Friday. Started our drive towards Colorado sunday. Made stops on the way in the Badlands national park. Beautiful Then to Wounded Knee. Both in South Dakota. Then to Carhenge, Stonehenge made out of old cars an idea that can only start to grow in an american brain. That was in Nebraska. Then to Wyoming where our car broke down in Cheyenne and we had to be towed to Fort Collins. An eventful Journey about a 1000 miles. We even found a Stockholm in Minnesota, 144 inhabitants with a churchyard full of people with swedish names. But in Cottonwood, South Dakota we found the closest to a real ghost town you can get. It had 12 inhabitants. That is including children. We also passet through the sioux reservation in SD. Now im restoring energy so im all ready to go by Friday.

Yeay! So glad you made it safely! Enjoy your time with family, tourist-y stuff and most of all, meeting your SKMB friends in person! ;-D

No way I could have taken any kind of selfie--still shot or video. I had no idea that was going to happen but even if I did, once the spinning started both hands had a death grip on the exam table and I do believe I was uttering Holy Sh*t. At least it wasn't a WTF. :smile:

Good thing you didn't have Brain with you. That could have ended in one of those "Hey, y'all, watch this!" moments. ;-D
