Have they done a spinal tap?

If the drugs like meclizine don't work, they need to look a little deeper.

Falling down twice in a 2 hour period is bad juju. Something is causing it and they owe it to you to figure out what that is.

ETA: those dumb bracelets are great for basically healthy hypochondriacs. Enough of them get the placebo effect to keep sales robust. There is little chance you'll experience it, though, because it sounds like something is going on.
