lmao. awww hope you sort you vertigo out, my parters mum had that and ended up walking sideways like a crab, its funny what your ears can do to you. xx

Nope, not funny at all

To get off the loo I have to hold the towel bar or I fall sideways into the tub and I've spent the last 3 nights sleeping in a sitting position on the couch because lying down makes it worse!

Don't worry, I know I'll see the humour in this later, just not yet...

Progress! I'm still half-asleep since I've only been getting a few hours of sleep a night but after a bracing nap I decided to forge ahead with zoo zone modifications! I went through several cutting discs before I finally called a friend with more experience. He gave me some tips so I could get more than one cut out of the disc before it exploded in my face

Then when I thought I'd cut enough bars out I switched to the grinding stone to rub off any sharp spots. Of course, I put the lid on and the hole I've made is only just big enough. I need to cut out at least one more bar. I'm so tired now though that it can wait until tomorrow.

Thanks princess-rhi, hopefully the doctor I saw today is right and it's something called BPPV that's often easily fixed by a simple series of head motions that my GP should be able to perform on me. I see her tomorrow!

Bless ya!! Well I hope that your GP can sort you out, and that its easily solved by the head motions (that sound intriguing!) Hope it goes ok for you tommorrw!

From what I've been reading it's caused by crystals that are normally free-floating getting lodged in the inner ear canal. The patient's head has to be tilted in a certain pattern to make sure that the crystals make it out of the canal. It makes me think of one of those sealed maze games that have a little ball bearing rolling around inside if you know what I mean

**Hope** · 06-17-2010, 07:45 AM

Hehe! Yeah, thats what I was thinking! You are a just a living version!

BrainGirl · 06-17-2010, 07:54 AM

Lol, yup! At least now I know what all that rattling in my head was about
