Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo: What has helped you?

I was treated for BPPV for several months in weekly sessions by a physiotherapist certified in vestibular disorders. Most sessions included the Epley maneuver, always positive. Finally the therapist released me to continue at home with neck and eye exercises as well as the Epley maneuver as needed. That was about a month ago. I'm still getting room-spinning results, the most recent being last night. Was diagnosed with neuropathy two years ago, and treatment for that (infra-red light, vibration olate, elliptical) hasn't helped either. I'm stuck on where to go and what to do.

@julius1742 You might try the Carol Foster MD Maneuver which has been an absolute life saver for me! Google it for her demonstration. It is highly effective for me as the Epley maneuver did absolutely nothing. I also had PT and received eye exercises to do when vertigo hits. I believe mine is also related to year round allergies for which I take Azelastine nasal spray in a.m. and Mometasone nasal spray at night. If I miss a dose I often get vertigo due to what I assume is fluid build -up in ear canal.

@julius1742 I was treated by PT for vertigo although never had the Eply maneuver done so don't know if it would help or not. My vertigo is caused by superior semicircular canal dehiscence from a tooth infection that spread. It was an upper back tooth with a previous crown. Never really hurt.
