Suggest Remedy For Severe Vertigo

Question: I am 86 years old, always active. For awhile I have had light headedness and imbalance walking. It seems to be slowly getting worse and I have to walk with a cane. I also, get nauseated after eating. I eat 3 meals a day, but not quite as much as I used to. During the last year, I have had bad reactions to about 6-7 anti-biotics and Humira compromised my immune system and I had to stop taking it last Dec. During that time I lost 20 pounds and cannot seem to gain it back. My normal weight has always been 128-132 and I was 5ft. 71/2 in. I am a little shorter now. I would appreciate any info. you could give me. XXXXXXX Maxham
