Yes. I’ve had several bouts of it. Maybe once a year or so. It resolves itself in a week or two, but I have to lay off certain exercises until it does. Laying on a stability ball looking up at the ceiling? No good. Turkish Get Ups? No good.

I’ve tried the self-administered exercises and gotten the room to spin 100mph. I don’t know if the exercises helped “cure” it any faster or not. And, I haven’t had a bout in over a year now.

As I understand it, it’s the result of little crystalline “balls” in the inner ear getting positioned in the wrong place. The self-administered exercises are intended to reposition those things – to jog roll them back into place.
