A series of prescription drugs followed, but my condition did not improve, as a matter of fact, it got worse. A friend recommended acupuncture from Jeannie Ng. After only 1 treatment, all my symptoms improved, after 3 treatments, my vertigo completely disappeared. I have not had any reoccurrence since."
