UNC coach Roy Williams has tried hanging upside down.
He’s tried ginger roots. He’s tried drinking diet Mello Yello.
Nothing has completely rid him of the vertigo that has annoyed him during the offseason.
"Everybody’s got Grandma’s cure," Williams said. "So they send it to me. I’ve done everything you can possibly do."
An attack of vertigo kept Williams nauseated and in bed one day during mid-July. According to the Mayo Clinic web site, vertigo condition is a problem with the nerves and balance mechanism of the inner ear that can cause intense dizzy spells.
Though Williams is under the care of doctors, he said he still isn’t 100 percent recovered.
"Early in the mornings I’m still a little light headed. I can’t shake it completely," Williams said. "It’s hard. Doctors can’t give me their exact remedy for it."
The condition won’t keep him away from his team. Practice for his 20th season begins at 7 p.m. Friday with "Late Night" festivities at the Smith Center. – Ken Tysiac

I have vertigo. I've had it for over ten months now and the doctors still haven't figured out what is wrong or why I can't be returned to normal. I've been writing about it in my blogs and although reading something like this is not encouraging as far a cure goes, it is encouraging to know that I am not alone.
