Your vertigo sounds a lot more severe than mine was. For me the room would spin whenever I lay down or moved my head quickly or in certain ways. I felt like I might fall backwards if lots of people walked towards me. I agree surgery sounds like a scary way to cure vertigo.
When I had the Epley done it was carried out by an ENT consultant and a nurse in a hospital outpatient department. I was told not to bend very far forward or lie down to sleep for a week. I assume that was so the crystal would settle in its new position. I gathered up all the spare pillows in the house and piled them up on the bed. I told my family I would be grumpy because I wouldn't be able to sleep properly ( I was right, I was grumpy
). The Dr warned me the bppv could come back so I have my fingers crossed that doesn't happen. Its been 16 years now and although I sometimes get a brief swimmy sensation its nothing like it was.

When you're just lying on the couch watching TV and you slightly turn your head to look at something and then it just spins... and then you're flailing your arms to try and keep yourself from falling, even though your body isn't moving at all but your brain is like "no, you're falling in circles! Hold onto something!"... yep. I don't enjoy those moments.
I can just imagine what it must look like to someone else watching it happen... lol
