A place called Vertigo
Saturday, January 27, 2007 at 12:36PM
Last Saturday night I woke up throughout the night with vertigo. When I got up, it went away, which made me happy because I didn't have to run around at the last minute to find someone to preach for me. Nothing like a pastor keeling over in the pulpit. Every night since then, except for one, it's come back. I'm being thoroughly checked out, although so far it appears to be a virus. Yesterday I had some during the day and took some Gravol to help. The only bad thing about Gravol is it makes you drowsy, which didn't make me the best date for a lunch I had booked yesterday with Charlene. (Amazing lunch, by the way - part of Winterlicious.) Nothing major, but a bit of an annoyance. I'm not enjoying this song quite as much as I used to.

My boss has a recurring issue with vertigo. I understand that little crystals form in the inner ear, and then break off and float around... giving the icky symptoms. There is a series of motions you can do with your head (in a very specific order) that gets the crystal where it's supposed to be. If you don't find relief from your doctor, email me, and I'll fax you the sheet that my boss uses.e
Something similar happened to me today, although I was hurtling down a 1000m zipline at 80kph through a cloud forest in Costa Rica. Not to trivilize your plight... how are you feeling today?
Thanks, Erin. I may take you up on that. Brian: I'm not jealous. Okay, only a little. A lot actually. But my vertigo wasn't bad at all last night.
