I am now 10 (!) days without vertigo. New record since November 16th.
I wish I could say I have been feeling great these past ten day, but my ear is angry and not going down without a fight. I am not complaining, mind you. I have not missed a day of work or of life, and I am utterly grateful for the fact that I am vertical everyday, but all of my other symptoms have been raging.
My head is in a constant fog. I have had varying degrees of pressure deep in my ear which only today seems to be letting up. And the ringing: a loud, constant buzzing which interferes with any good hearing I have in my good ear. This week has been the mother of all attacks minus the vertigo. And I am FUNCTIONING through it all. So take that, bastard!
I have been through this before and it did get better. And, honestly, if it doesn't this time, that is okay, too. But I will continue to beat the vertigo into submission every time it even thinks of rearing its ugly head. It will not win. Though we may both look like a haggard and bloodied Rocky Balboa in the end.
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.

It is now fourteen days and counting with zero vertigo? Peut-etre?! I verily hope so. Do let us know!! :D
ReplyDeleteBtw, I always think of you when I watch "Arrested Development": Lucille 2, the Liza Minelli character, and her vertigo. If you do not know of the show, shame on you. I shall do my best, if need be, to keep you up-to-date with pop culture. Voila, un clip of Lucille 2 and her vertigo:
