So sorry to hear this, @rvallee. I, too, experience a similar kind of vertigo/spinning nausea sometimes. It's slightly different for me in that it's not more pronounced when I'm laying down. Moving my head or my eyeballs sets it off for me. It usually happens after I've been exposed to too much...

I hear you, and the points you are making are important. However, I don't agree that "the implication is that it is more than expected". To me "many" is a neutral enough word in this context. Looking at the actual numbers of reports, it doesn't seem to be an awfully rare reaction. Would you feel...

More RME awareness campaign material featuring Elias, published 3 months ago almost to the day. In his Instagram post linked above, posted today, Elias writes "Three months ago I attended a course in DNRS".
