Vertigo non stop dizziness for 2weeks now

Hi i am 30yo female, started 12days ago nonstop ever since. Thursday doc told me i had double ear infection gave me antibiotics. Sunday i was eating dinner,all of the sudden i had to drop my fork and sit on the couch.I had a run down feeling on my body,from the top of my head til the toes. Only on my half back side. My whole body was tingling felt like i was dropped in an elevator and after nausea and body chill came. I was shaking and freezing to death. No fever. Went to urgent care,doc just looked at me and said i have Vertigo,recommended nasal spray and allergy pill.Tuesday had to go to ER bc i felt real bad,couldn't eat for days felt really weak and all. They run all tests,CAT scam as well,everything was fine they say. Gave me Valium and ondansetron. Today i went to Ent specialist he told me everything is fine on the ear(they only did hearing test) but he will send me for vpn test (some part of the inner ear what need special testing) which is 3 f*in weeks from now! And if that is the problem then he will do physical therapy. I am the point now where i can't take this no more and no one seems to understand how horrible feeling it is. Like im in an illusion of life for the past two weeks,not in real. Couldn't go to work for 5days now bc i feel like i can't function. Not to mention driving. I asked the docs for Betahistine-Serc,Notropil the answer was sorry those medicines aren't FDA approved. Please let me know if anyone could help. :(

  Hi since your issue began with an inner ear infection it may have affected the crystals in the ears and they can move and cause vertigo....there is a way you might be able to help yourself with this.....research the Eppley maneuver....doing this method may help put the crystals back where they should be....

here is a link to a video explaining how to do it and why vertigo happens....
