Heh. Plotting, no doubt.
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Totally.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Teppy, I had a really severe case of vertigo many years back but it was pretty much like you described. It lasted over a week and I could barely turn my head without feeling nauseated. My doc gave me a Dramamine like prescription which helped a little but they could never quite figure out what caused it. It may have been viral in the inner ear. I haven't had another occurance that bad in over 10 years.

All is well that ends in pizza.
The local grocery around the corner has Pumpkin Pie flavored yogurt for 99 cents a quart.
Windsparrow is going to try some. I might, it's sugared, tho.

aims, that is totally a pic to pull out when she brings a date home.
Seems I can't recreate the stove incident. Grr. I think I managed to get all the gum off the windshield.
Steph, how goes the vertigo? Any progress??

Teppy, I had a really severe case of vertigo many years back but it was pretty much like you described. It lasted over a week and I could barely turn my head without feeling nauseated.
God, I'm hoping mine doesn't last that long. I mean, they *just* eased up on me at work, and bumped me back up to 40 hours, and now I'm all "Oh, hi, I can't come to work for a week because everything is spinning violently...no, I'm not making it up!"
I took ibuprofen a little bit ago, and the vertigo seems to be what I would describe as less bad. (And by "less bad," I just mean "spinning violently" as opposed to "spinning OMFG violently." Really, I was trying to describe it to my dad, and all I could say was, "This is NOTHING like being dizzy. If dizzy is like having the sniffles, this is like double pneumonia.") My totally unqualified-to-self-diagnose self-diagnosis is that, therefore, *something* is inflamed and fucking with my inner ear.
I'm assuming no work for me tomorrow, and I'm going to beg the doctor to see me ASAP. No way I can drive, though, so I'm screwing up not only my own workday, but The Boy's as well.
Yayfun.

Teppy, you don't control when you get sick. Don't beat yourself up over it - er to the extent that is under your control.

Teppy, did you have a cold recently? You could have a post-viral vestibular neuronitis.
I have both been there and done that, and it is truly awful. Benadryl helped a lot, but really, only time made it go away completely.

post-viral vestibular neuronitis
Aha! That sounds just like what I had. I did take a lot of antihistamines. It took about three days to work its way down to mild nausea, which hung around for a while.
I learn so much from y'all.
