Bob, thanks so much for the kind reply. I am hoping that it is nerve related, and not an added complication. I have had an ENT rule out any problems in his area that would cause the extreme vertigo, and haven't heard of that being caused by herniated discs, but there's a chance, I guess.
Thanks again for comparing your situation/symptoms with mine.
Yes, I think I'm putting my pharmacist's kids through college too
