OTHER THINGS IN THE WORLD THAN MUSIC > Everything and Nothing

Am I back?

Wayne Higgins:
I put this on the blog today.  First thing I've written in months.

"Vertigo:

Once again, I have been a victim of the dreaded condition.  After a two month bout, I think I am finally over it.  The odd thing is that when you deal with vertigo for an extended period of time, there is a bit of uncertainty that follows.  Am I really over it, or am I still dizzy?  I really hate it.  I kept telling myself that it wasn't that bad this time, but every time I though it was gone, I would lean over in a direction that would get everything going and everything would get going and I would be stumbling around for a few days.  This time, when I went to the ENT, I was thinking "Oh, it's not really that bad" even though I was walking down the hallway feeling like the wals were at an angle, the ceiling thinner that the floor.  I lied down with the doctor holding my head and I was on a roller coaster.  It's interesting when the feeling hits, and the little chrystals start moving through the inner ear canals like a high speed subway, I instantly, and instinctively try to go into a fetal position.  All in all, I'm much better now."

Also, my homelife has changed from living with an elderly person to caring for an elderly person.  It's been a roller coaster of a year.  Needless to say, extreme happiness knowing that a short vacation trip to Boston to see The Dropkick Murphys and The Barber of Seville is a week away.

mystified:
Best wishes!

Good luck with your vertigo and enjoy your trip!

Sounds a liitle like what I've been experiencing with this headcold I've had for a week. Its getting better but it made an asault on my sinus passages. Felt a lot of dizziness. The interesting thing I've noticed about an ailment like this is that it forces you to meditate and you stop and really experience the moment. I got to the point where I couldn't read because putting my glasses on would just inflame my sinuses.  I could listen though, got some ambient music in. Can't wait to get out and walk and exercise again.

Good luck sorting it out, Wayne.

I've been dealing with a sinus infection for more than three months, even through multiple rounds of medication. This has definitely ruined my December, January and February. It's been difficult to accomplish much beyond the necessary minimum.

Just made my first visit to an ENT specialist yesterday and he's trying an even more intense and lengthy round of antibiotics combined with steroid sinus spray.
