I haven’t been able to sleep on my right side since the fall of 2002, and boy, do I want to turn over! I’m lucky, though. If I turn my head as far as it will go to the left, the vertigo vanishes. I’m sure at times we both look comical!
Really?
*I* only sleep on my left side!
If accidentally roll over and don’t wake up instantly, I’m
-wrecked- the whole next day.
Neck ‘seizes up’ something terrible.
[a crummy chiro rally messed it up *even worse* for me a couple years ago]
Mine started clear back in 1985 when my ex fractured my neck refused to let me have it treated for fear he’d be arrested.
Sometimes I look like the town drunk.
Odin, the boy Dobe has been taught to plant his feet and brace himself against my hip when I start to act wobbly.
One night, right before Christmas, I went “post turtle” in a Best Buy and everybody just stepped over or around me.
Not one single ‘gentleman’ even offered to help me up.
I pulled myself, hand over hand up the shelves.
Took me a good 10 minutes and at least 20 people just walked right by.
