The World Just Keeps Spinnin'

Today is no fun.

I'm dealing with a lovely bout of vertigo. No, I'm not watching Hitchcock's movie.


And I'm not afraid of heights either.


Instead, I have a constant feeling like the world and I are not in sync...and one of us needs to quit moving already!


I've had bouts before, so I know what what I have is just benign vertigo (BPPV), possibly linked to my occasional migraines. To quote Ah-nold, "it's not a tumor"...which I guess should make me feel better. Except it's hard to feel better when you feel seasick just sitting at your desk!


Adding insult to injury - yes, there is a medication to deal with vertigo. Dramamine. (And other Rx versions of course) So, my choices today are (1) feeling like I just got off the Spiral Rollercoaster of Death or (2) nappy time. I'm trying to split the difference - take a half dose - so I can function enough to work...but I seem to have achieved some DMZ state of staggering and drowsiness that I can only compare to heavy alcohol consumption.


I just hope HR doesn't pull me aside for a breathalyzer.

Thank you everybody! I'm feeling better today - a little wobbly, but no where near as bad as yesterday. Thank goodness these spells only seem to last a day or two!
