Yes! I have had the Epley Maneuver. In fact, I go again in a day, on Wednesday for it. Though I dread it, because it will induce the SCARY spinning, I'm sick of having bouts of smaller spins enough to go!

Why do you ask? Have you had it, or are you thinking of it? If you haven't had it, go! It only lasts a minute tops.
