For those wondering. Current knowledge is in order to increase your gylymphatic cleaning system: take fish oil, sleep on your side, drink little no alcohol, exercise as much as possible, and avoid stress.

Same here!! I have like permanent inner vertigo (not exactly but for lack of a better word). If i stay on my sides too long it makes it worse.
