vertigo flared up today. this usually only happens if I get really, stupidly upset and cry a lot. but I haven't, so I don't know what's up. gotta spend a lot of time in bed because moving = more vertigo and nausea. but it's even worse for my back. the laying around, I mean. so I don't know.

also today my period started up (a few hours after the vertigo arrived) so now I'm dealing with cramps on top of awful back pain and being unable to move my head certain ways without feeling like the world is tipping in alarming ways.

UGH.

it's possible that your period caused the vertigo. It can happen (it's happened to me, and other people i know)

:(

thanks for telling me. whatever the reason, it is horrible.

Oh, no! I hope this passes very, very soon. <3

It's better now than it was earlier, I am just being very careful about how I move my head. (sometimes not so careful and then I pay for it...)

But seeing you here makes me so happy! I am smiling at your name! Hi, gloss, hi!

hi, Greenie! I've missed you! So glad you're feeling a little better.

A nurse at work explained to me that the Epley maneuver works pretty well to self-treat vertigo (since vertigo is because of floaty crap in your inner ear causing havoc). I know this post is two days old, but next time you have an issue, give it a try! I've seen it work effectively. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llvUbxEoadQ

(They have another video for the other side but it's just reversed movements. There's also one where you kneel on the floor.)

thank you! I've been sent this info by others in the past but for some reason I never remember it when I need it /o\

Must be something about having the spins that makes your recall less than perfect, I suppose. ;)
