Where is SCG when I need her?
I came home from work yesterday and as I was getting out of the car, I noticed that I was just a little bit dizzy. I have a hole in my right eardrum and the eustation tube on that side doesn't work. I know that when I start having trouble in that ear, it can turn into severe vertigo so I am careful. The problem is, the drug I take, Meclizine, makes me drowsy and I hate that feeling (but less than I hate the room spinning and dipping about so that I have to hang on to the corners of the bed!) I took one at bedtime last night, and managed to sleep through the night, but this morning the dizziness was about the same as the evening before and getting worse. I gave in and took the second Meclizine (dosage is one or two in a twenty-four hour period) about 10:00 this morning. I just woke up about an hour ago. Slept like a baby all day and evening. Now, I will be up all night, and I have a 4H chicken show to attend and help with tomorrow.
Oh man, I can relate to that dizziness! I have called it, Woozy head for years! I never knew, neither did the drs. until this very year what was causing it, they just suggested Meclizine. I'm with you, don't like it! I have to lay straight up in a chair..head straight...to try and keep things equalized. They have test now days, that can find out so many different problems with the inner ear. No, I don't have Minears Disease. But, I have a significant .. less.. amount of fluid in my left ear. They gave me exercises to do, but that didn't do a thing. They call it therapy. :/ They said being dizzy will come and go. I know that! I just had to find what works for me. It's gotten worse for me as I've gotten older. I'm glad I'm not working now. Or, I could say, wish that I could work, but my health just won't let me at this point. I loved working~!
pass the butter!!!
