Several years ago, I was dianosed with benign positional vertigo, which in laymens terms, means just very bad dizziness(I mean the whole world seems to spin and spin with the slightest head movement), and also lots of nausea and vomitting...When these symptoms first appeared about 5 yrs ago, I honestly thought I had a brain tumor, and had to see a neurologist for my symptoms...they ran lots and lots of neurological tests, hooked me up to all sorts of machines, rans different ear and hearing tests, and finally a catscan of my brain(nothing there so they said), to eliminate all possible causes of my problem...
Since they could not really find anything wrong with me, and the tests showed I was suffering from unexplained vertigo, I was diagnosed with benign positional vertigo...which of all the possible causes of my problem was probably the best diagnosis...
There is really no medicine that can prevent an attack before it occurs, tho there is a medicine I take after the first attack that may occur, in order to prevent or at least soften the next attack....I had this problem for about a year, and then it subsided which is often the case...
However yesterday, it again returned, which is also often the case, as benign position vertigo, comes and goes, and will probably be a chronic problem for the rest of my life, tho, thankfully its not serious, just inconvenient, as I am very, very dizzy, and very nauseated...
So since, we were planning to go to the Doll House in Saturday, and up to Mt. Rainier on Sunday, I have just been resting quietly in an effort to put a halt to all this nonsense...so far, I have been only slightly successful, as the dizziness and nausea are still continuing....
So, just thought I would log on to let you know why I have not been around yesterday and today, and why this will probably be my only posting today, as I plan to go back go bed...Bah, I hate this, but just have to cope with it all...
So, in advance to all you 'moms' out there, have a very happy and joyous Mothers Day....and to all, lets all remember our moms whether they are with us still or not
Andfor those who have no human children, God bless you for being 'moms' to your beloved pets, at they need a moms loving touch as well...
When I am feeling somewhat better, I shall return...
Palo, do give Happy and Lulu a moms day kiss for me, and hopefully your Bill will not get lost in a cave....see ya all later...
