Yes - I suffered this condition while in the RAF many moons ago. It began without warning one morning when I got out of bed and fell over (without indulging the night before). I tried to go to the bathroom ..fell over. Tried to stand up...fell over. The entire world was spinning. I became a medical emergency and fortunately don't remember too much of the admission process. I was admitted to RAF Halton and had to be restrained in bed with straps because the condition was so wild without the straps I would almost roll out of bed. With sedation, bed rest and sleep I recovered in 10 days back to "normal" and ::touching wood:: have not had a recurrence since. This was 20yrs ago .. I am no longer in RAF but still have no ear or balance problems.

Hope this helps.
