The gent, I mean.
It's been 3 weeks and 4 days since my last shot which can be the typical window in which the effects are likely to take hold. So there's a little personal experience and scientfic evidence behind my optimism here. Thanks also to a fellow MMer who got me past the 2-week point when I was still getting vertigo for telling me she didn't feel anything until 3 weeks post-shot. You know who you are and thanks for the encouragement!
Yesterday my ear started buzzing a bit and continually ramped up throughout the day. By bedtime I was feeling those off-kilter feelings that precede a full-blown vertigo attack. So I took 2 mg of Valium, which historically has never prevented an attack for me, it just takes the edge off and I always have to take more once the spins really start up. But I fell asleep, slept through the night, and woke up with that sloshy, water-in-the-ear feeling that always follows an attack.
I think the gent is working. I REALLY hope I am not jinxing myself, but I am feeling giddy.
I feel a little bit about this blog the way I feel about photo albums: I have so many thoughts/pictures to file, I don't know where to start. Shall I start with today and move forward in an organized manner or shall I go back and rush through the old stuff until I am up-to-date? Being a Type A personality with a B Student mentality, I will attempt to do both at once and be satisfied with a certain degree of mediocrity.
