Many years ago, I had an inner ear infection which left me with chronic

was to deliberately induce vertigo by sitting on a bed and repeatedly
lying down on my right side, sitting up, lying down on my left side,
sitting up again, etc. [snip] Flooding the brain with lots of change-
of-position data, by repeatedly sitting up and lying down again, causes
the brain to discard its old stored information about how the sensation
relates to your actual position, and recalibrate, so to speak.


I've never heard this before, how interesting! It must have been pretty
nauseating before you finally got "recalibrated", though.

Obviously, you can't explain to a pet that they need to go through this
procedure.


No, but if it were Roxy, I could just take her for rides in the laundry
basket.
