Feeling Dizzy

[melchar]

Ack - woke up with a horrible feeling of vertigo. I think it's a right inner ear thing but I've felt so dizzy all day. No fever, though. Felt so odd and bad that I went back to bed [after feeling the cat] and slept until 1pm - refilled the cat and slept until 3pm

Got up and wavered downstairs to get on the 'net. Now it's 7pm, still dizzy. We didn't go to BASFA tonight. This better clear up fast.

If you had vertigo....would you stand up on a stool to hang a curtain? Would you bend from the waist a few times to help a child that is sitting on the floor? ...or would one normally pass out from such activities during an episode??!! Someone I know claims to have vertigo off and on, seemingly when it suits her. Her physical movements are not seemingly consistent with a person's who has vertigo, unless it is much more mild than she claims and has a high frequency of on-again/off-again....

I hope you feel better soon. One of my best friends had The Vertigo years ago and I recall taking her to Kaiser cause she couldn't even drive. The RWC Kaiser has a slope of a sidewalk leading up to the main bldg, and I had to steady her as we slowly made our way to the doors.

I tend to be rather skeptical when it comes to the person I referenced in paragraph one, can you guess who it was??? *smirk*

When I was -really- suffering the worst from it all Monday, it felt like I was mentally impaired. I felt too dizzy to eat [and being hungry and nauseous really sucks]. All I wanted to do was sleep.

Yesterday [after a lot of neck exercises and stretching] I felt better - more able to function, albeit with spells of dizziness; instead of constant dizziness. I acted as though I was made of spun sugar [as the saying goes] - and took it very easy.

Today, I feel much better - still having milder bouts of 'the dizzies' - but felt able to shower, do laundry and clean up cat barf. ^_^

There is -no- way I'd do things that put myself or another at risk when feeling even as bad as I did yesterday: wouldn't stand on a stool, wouldn't drive a car - might bend to help a child ... but bend very carefully. And I can guess who you're talking about. ^_^
