BPPV

I have been having dizzy spells since Friday & finally went to Urgent Care at my regular clinic today. 


So... I have benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. It is like being drunk but painfully aware of all the sensations and knowing it is not fun at all. It lasts until it is over (days, weeks....) and all I can do is take double doses of over-the-counter meclizine & rest. No driving, no cooking, no doing anything that can be dangerous if I suddenly get dizzy... I hope this passes in a few days. I cannot tell you how bad this sucks. It is like being on a boat in rough water every time I move my head.






No bueno, my friends, no bueno.
