First on this list, are the vertigo attacks!! These have created a life of dreadful anticipation for me...everytime one of those certain noise's pop up, I go on the alert. I have had the vertigo attacks for several years now and have experianced them in most every place off the top of my head...work, at home which is my safe place and my yard,...have had these sitting, standing,on the toilet,in the shower, in a moving car, in bed, etc. The most embarrasing are those witnessed by others, as when in public or amoungst kinfolk. I prefer and much rather be home alone when my world's spin about with no control. Yes, my dear doctor, does direct me to take certain medications at certain times when these attacks come about, but, I don't carry pill's in my pockets - nor have I placed them in secret places about the house. These attacks occur at the damnedest of times!! Morning, noon, and night!!! Like the lightening strikes...
Some folks, go through extra ordinary measures to get the sensations of being dizzy/off balance...mostly, at an event that is paid for, such as Carnival/Fairs/Festival rides...such as roller coaster's or gravity manipulated rides...then even worse - drugs, pills, or alochol.
Let me share with you now, having these experanices of total dizziness for minutes to an hour and a half or more is not fun and not damn funny...my room, my house, my world and Spirit's spin and spins totaly out of control...when the medication's are out of reach, I do my best to ride them out...then fight self to sleep......to then sleep for 24 to 72 hours...
It has been one week and one day since my last.
In the mean time, I wait...and listen.
Mario I feel your pain. My first attack lasted 2 days and I thought I had the flu or something. I can't sit in front of this computer for to long or I will get dizzy from my eyes moving too much. I do however take a motion sick pill everyday to keep the movement to a minimum. It's a crazy life we live, never knowing when we will be spun upside down and round and round. The ringing in my ears has to be the most annoying at night. Blast in my head like a rock concert. During the day not so bad because the background noise covers my constant buzzing. By the way I am using you as a personal reference to my comp II paper that I am writing. Thanks again for all the good information. Love you to pieces cuz. Take care and stay grounded.
