The continuing saga of bleurgh

[bookzombie]

Short version: the labyrinthitis is not getting any better.

Long version: I still feel light-headed much of the time and sea-sick. The drugs are on are definitely helping (I forgot to take one at lunchtime yesterday - so I got first-hand experience of what it would be like if I wasn't taking them...) Today I finally gave up struggling through and took the day off work sick. I'm on leave anyway tomorrow and I've got another doctor's appointment Monday - which is when my current drug supply runs out - so we'll see what happens.

But the novelty has definitely worn off now :-(

pennski has got a horrid 'flu-like thing going on as well (which triggered an asthma attack on Monday), so we are, officially, both falling apart!

On the positive side:

• A box of sf magazines (and a book for p.) arrived fromdesperance today!
• I'm within grasping point of 100% completion for Final Fantasy XIII-2
• There's been a lot of reading getting done this week :-)
• I got my first payslip after my promotion!
• Our new fridge-freezer is being delivered tomorrow. No more accidentally frozen food in the fridge!

Have they tested you for Menieres? I know two people who have it, they describe something much like you're experiencing - but the drugs for it do keep it at bay.

Sorry to hear Pennski is ill too - having just got over a vicious cold bug myself, I can definitely sympathise.

Rest, and feel better - both of you!

There are other symptoms (like hearing problems) that you normally get with Meniere's, which I don't have, so it's unlikely. Worth asking the doctor on Monday though!

I can't remember how long you've had it? I remember when I did that it was at least 3 weeks until I felt like I was getting back to normal, and 2 or 3 months before I could tilt my head back to look up without having a dizzy spell.

I've had it for just under three weeks now. I hope it doesn't last as long as yours did!

The biggest problem for me is that reading text/typing on a computer screen is about the most uncomfortable thing I can do (something to do with small movements of the eyes I suspect) which is, you know, my job... After these few responses to comments I'll be feeling really quite seasick again.

Feel better soon, both of you.

May all plagues pass swiftly, never to return.
