[Paddlewise] VERTIGO

mitch,

i have experienced vertigo on extremely flat water with a mirage effect.  i 
kept wishing some waves would come up, but NOOOoooo, and i had to turn 
about and paddle in (this was tomales bay, CA).

benign positional vertigo has many etiologies, some viral, some idiopathic 
(fancy medical word for 1. "hell if i know" or 2. "i'm an idiot about your 
disease.").

this site might give you some ideas you could bring to yr MD.
