Vertigo - things that help/trigger
Good things. Body balance class at the gym. I think the Cawthorne-Cooksey exercises may also be helping.
The vertigo (certainly when I'm indoors) is better when I'm wearing contact lenses than when I'm wearing glasses. (the peripheral vision confusion of focus with glasses makes it worse)
Bad things - working at the computer can definitely trigger it sometimes. The most likely occasions seem to be when I'm scrolling down the screen (I'm trying to use page down when that is an option). Also looking at the computer to a piece of paper and back again several times can sometimes be a trigger. I've got the screen on the highest refresh rate.
Bonus symptoms - I'm getting a little bit of tinitus in my left ear. I only notice it when I'm trying to go to sleep as other sounds mask it during the day. (and it often goes away all together). It's not very loud, just a small pulse of white noise at intervals of around a second, but it's surprisingly annoying.

on the other hand, my grandad had Meniere's... But I'm getting symptoms in both ears and Meniere's almost invariably starts in one ear.
With luck, it will turn out that I have something that an antibiotic will shift.
