Apparently I'm okay in one axis, but changing from one axis to another is not good with my inner ear.
Steph, that piece of information makes me suspicious that you don't have post-viral neuronitis but rather benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. This site mentions that "symptoms are almost always precipitated by a change of position of the head with respect to gravity" and "people with BPPV often feel dizzy and unsteady when they tip their heads back to look up."
Basically, BPPV happens when inner ear debris (canaliths) break free and float around in the vestibular canals. The Epley maneuver can resettle the canaliths in a position that eliminates the symptoms. Your doctor can perform the maneuver in the office and you could go home feeling much, much better.
Hey, all.
Ugh, Tep. That sounds awful. But I figured it was an ear infection -- the vertigo-level sounds like my grandma's.
I slept last night. Yay! Because I went to my mom and dad's and my dad gave me some of his. I finally got completely unable to handle the time-flippiness. I went to my girlfriend's house Sat. night for booze and bitterness with the girls...I'd finally fallen asleep at 11 a.m., slept on and off till 6 pm, and it was just TOO weird. I basically got up, got dressed, got coffee, and then at about 8 a.m. body-time, started having wine. Then everyone was outta there at about midnight, and I went home ( I didn't drink that much, it just was too weird for me) and read a book till 8 a.m.
Then I filled up the cat bowls, changed the litter and drove to St. Joe. I took a back road, and it was a gorgeous late night (body), early morning (RT) drive. I then proceded to stay up as long as I could (21 hours, btw, and I was slapppppp-happppppy) and then took a nap (4 hours). Woke up, ate, read and talked a little and took 2 Ambien at midnight and FUCKING slept 12 hours in which I didn't wake myself up at all.
It was bliss.
And then I woke up, and argued with my polically-wavering family about the election, and then we all shut up and I kicked everyone's ass at JEopardy. They gave me some fish, and I am home. Yay!.
And I didn't get that sexual assault outreach job. BOO!
But I have decided to substitute teach while I job search. I figure if I work both sides of the state line I can gig every day I want. Maybe get a long-term sub position. I'd be super in-demand, being certfied, and I'm going to spend the $50 and get my certification in Kansas, too. They just need a reciprocal test, but I got a fucking 100% on the English PRAXIS, so I'm all "Hey, here's my PERFECT test results and my 4 years and my multiple degrees...and oh, the $50. GIMME!"
So, I have some drugs, and a plan, man.
Life is good.
benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.
My mom has that; I would have preferred to not inherit it, damn it.
I do also have an exceedingly full feeling in one ear, and my doctor said he suspects infection, plus the eardrum was in a strange position; concave, I think.
On the other hand, if I have canaliths roaming free, I'd prefer to get them back where they need to be.
Could it be both?
Poking head into Bitches to wish Sail a very happy birthday!

I have my grammar book! Thank you, Cathy!
Anyone here ever pick up Lawler's® Cheesecake Miniatures Variety - 63 ct?
Someone at work had a box of these in the freezer.
$13.87 at Sams Club. I wonder if any of the Super Wal-Marts carry them?
Hmmm, we have the biggest Super Wal-Mart in the state, so....
