Vertigo

The one thing I dread most about MS is my bouts with vertigo. I have not had a bad one since the fall but today I woke up and rolled over to find myself spinning. I still managed to get out of the house to an early appointment but I felt rather disoriented. Unfortunately, when I got home it came back. I tried to ignore it but after running to the bathroom three times thinking that I would puke, I gave in and laid down. I still felt bad so I finally took some Dramamine. That of course put me to sleep and I slept through everything. Now I'm up but I still don't feel all that well (vision is cloudy, stomach upset and slight headache). My hope is that I will sleep it off tonight.

I guess the good news is that I had no really pressing obligations although I got bent out of shape about not doing the things I wanted to do. I am hoping for a better day tomorrow.

My next MRI is on Sunday so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that everything is still A-Ok. Overall I have been feeling pretty good lately so I think things will be fine.

Vertigo is the worst symptom for me. I hope things are better for you tomorrow. If not then call the doctor. I know the Neuro gives me something for vertigo and nausea and it works really well.

Thanks Living. I am already feeling much better. I'm just going to take it easy.
