'Safe'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Consuela, it could be random vertigo, which, as Sue said, can last a day or so. Do you get migraines? My mother gets migraines whose only symptom is vertigo. No head pain, to sensitivity to light, etc. Just vertigo. And in her case, she takes Ativan for it and it abates in about a day.
Fingers crossed this is very short-lived vertigo.
I vacuumed a whole lot today. I swear, some of the rugs are now different colors than when I started.
Still have to do the living room, though.
Brother & family arriving tomorrow late aft./evening, and yes, they're going to a B&B nearby, but still.
I can now cross having a threesome under the open sky in a backyard swimming pool off my bucket list. Needless to say, it was a fun afternoon.
Damn. My day has been good, but I could use a few more days like Matt's.
Flea, that sounds dreadful. Both the Casper and the Dillo bits. Augh.
Consuela, good luck. And yes, Megan Walker had a lot of vertigo at one point, I'm sure she knows some tips and exercises. And a friend of my roommate's had a whole bunch of it and it was messing up her life until they finally realized it was a weird form of migraines. Too bad I didn't know about Steph's mom at the time!
Oh Consuela! Stay very very still.
Too bad I didn't know about Steph's mom at the time!
My mom only figured it out in the last 6-9 months or so. So weird, because my migraines are just pain pain pain, but no vertigo. The human body is weird as hell.
Ugh, vertigo is the worst.
I don't know if there's a non-viral labyrinthitis, but my dad used to go down hard for a couple of days with it, but there was never any talk of PT or anything.
Oh yeah, when I had the vertigo (which they thought was viral), I saw an ENT and the things to do were antihistamines, motion sickness drugs, wait it out.
My mom has always gotten regular migraines, not too often but painful and auras and whatnot, but the last decade-ish she started getting just the aura and nausea (maybe vertigo? I don't know). Her doctor told her it was the veins in her head losing their elasticity, which sounds scary, but I guess makes for less pain. He called them opthalmic migraines, I think?
Completely unrelatedly - the attachment that turns a KitchenAid mixer into an ice cream maker is BRILLIANT. My first batch is not even done yet, but just watching it work is making me happy.
Yikes, Consuela. Hopefully whatever it is you have will pass quickly and without complications.
