That's terrible, Consuela. Bad enough feeling terrible, but the vertigo makes it so difficult to do anything else.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Home from vacation. A/c is broken, elevators at my doctor's office are broken, it's raining, and the doctor is of course running late.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Returning from vacation always sucks, but that's even more sucky.

Here's a weird medical thing that I don't trust Dr. Google for info on. Every once in a while when I'm talking I suddenly feel like I can't control my mouth and tongue to speak properly and all I can do is make gibberish noises. Usually this happens for a second or so. Last night I was talking and this happened for about three or four seconds--I just couldn't form words at all during that time. I had to stop speaking, wait five seconds and try again, when everything was back to normal.

Is this something I should be concerned about?

Could be very brief seizures, tommyrot...

Well that doesn't sound good.

Back when I first lost vision in my left eye, I had a brain MRI that showed I'd had a number of micro-strokes. Maybe this is related? Maybe i should see a neurologist?

With you having a history of micro-strokes, I'd encourage a neurology check up.

I would, because that's the best way to rule stuff out as well as narrow down any possible cause.

Definitely worth a consult, even if it's only to establish a baseline.

OK, you guys talked me into it. Thanks.
