Oh laura, I'm so sorry. But your post actually shook me up and take notice because I've recently had a severe case of vertigo that lasted all day and made me unable to eat or drink, walk, everything. I've had a MRI for migraines, and thankfully, my brain is still working OK. But I thank you for the vital information.

Although I lost my job due to 9/11 and had to go on disability for my severe spinal problems, I turned into a caretaker for my parents and now my 97 y.o uncle. I think I've found my true calling. Hopefully, after more surgery, I'll be able to work again and may go back to school. It's a thought. Life does deal you ups and downs, but one step UP the ladder after each adversity is a great start.

Please take care of yourself. Health is always the most important thing.

Hugs.
