I am still around, Can't go back to work

Oh My, that's horrible, Laura. I've had a few episodes, but not like yours. My nephew had an attack while driving his truck to work, and had to ask a pedestrian to call 911. They hospital thought he was on drugs. I don't remember the tests, but they gace him something for nausea and antibiotics. He's been Ok since, but since he's an electrician, and climbs ladders, it's always on his mind.

I hope it's nothing serious, but I'm glad you're going for tests since vertigo is not normal. Sorry you had to miss your boating trip. Wishing you the best...

Hoping you will be better soon. Dizzyness can't be easy. Sending hugs and best wishes to you.

I think those excercises are working for the dizziness! Yesterday was a great day and in doing the excercises, I have little to no dizziness! None last night when I laid down and am feeling great this morning! I am getting my hopes up SO high that there is a end to this soon!

I am going to be somewhat ticked off if all I needed to do was something so simple as these excercises to get rid of it! I could have done that and been back to work on time!! (If I had known about them) You can BET, I will keep that excercise sheet for the future in case I get this again so I can start doing them at the first signs of any vertigo! I am feeling better than I have felt in a month!

Wow Laura, I have never heard of this stuff before. I have no answers for you, but I certainly am glad that those exercises are helping!! YAY!!! And maybe if you throw up on the doctor hell give you a discount? hehe.

FANTASTIC!! Great to hear! I had positional vertigo years ago and it was horrid, and it's great to have things normal again!

Do you still need to have the test then?

[Laura's Babies]

Yes, I will still need to have the test. I think that is to determine that it is or is not the crystals being out of place that caused it and not something deeper in the ear. I want to know so I am having this test so if in the future it happens again, I will know exactly what it is. I would just love to know what set it off this bad this time! I still think that sinus infection in April had something to do with it.

I was able to scrub out my bath tub today, the first time since I been home that I could bend over and stretch all around bent over to do that and it had gotten in BAD shape. NO dizziness!

LOL! MY Captain texted me this morning (around 7) and I texted him right back so he called me, had a assignment for me. He needed me to email some pictures of the boat to someone at the home office. I told him I think I am close to having this beat now, he wanted to know if that meant I could come to the boat right now.... LOL! I told him "no" I am still having that test on the 13th and the doctor won't release me until he has those results and they show I am ok.. He said "WELL! HURRY UP!"... Geez, he has never been like this before when I have had to be off. I guess in the 10 years I have been with him he is maybe a tad spoiled?

If you weren't such a good cook, then Captain wouldn't miss you so much! That's a pretty good compliment from him, without him actually having to put it in words.


Have your doctors ruled out Minear's Disease? My father had that, and I know how miserable he was. It affected him more in the form of loss of hearing in one ear, more so than the dizziness. He also had the constant ringing and pressure in the ear too.
