Vertigo....

I left work early yesterday because I was having a horrible day with the vertigo; after 5 days of steroids (took the last one on Monday) I was still having BAD dizzy spells & it was hard to work, take care of Brayden & try to not fall over yesterday so I just decided to head home!! I left at about 1 so I really didn't leave that early but anyhoo....I got home got Brayden & the pups settled & then decided that I should eat something since Brayden was napping & I hadn't had lunch yet! I go into the freezer to see what's in there...have a dizzy spell....& proceed to hit the side of my nose on one of the shelves of the freezer door!! No blood but the pain that I felt made my eyes water for an hour & the mark that is there today is so beautiful! Needless to say I called the doctor to make an appointment with the ENT specialist & you know what they told me?? They have to process the referral & it could be up to a week until that happens....WTF?? I am hitting my face on things because I am getting so dizzy & she wanted me to wait a week; I DON"T THINK SO!! I explained to the nice lady on the phone my issue & the fears I have driving around with my 3 month old in the car & possibly having a bad spell & she made my referral a priority so hopefully I will get into the doctor office today....HOPEFULLY!!

Thankfully it is Lance's day off so he has little man at home with him...it is a nasty rainy day out & with my head the way it is I am happy that I didn't have to put him in the car with me!!! I am just praying that I hear from the doctor by 8 this morning (the time they get in the office) otherwise I will be getting a call from a very dazed, dizzy & foggy woman!

  1. I hope you feel better! If it comes down to it, I think you should just go and demand that they see you and not leave until someone does! I hate when they are @ssbutts like that!

  4. I came accross your blog through a friend of mine and can totally relate. I have been dealing with Vertigo myself for the past couple of weeks and have found that Drammamine that the doctor presribed has helped me manage those nasty dizzy spells. Good luck and best wishes!

  5. I have had vertigo for over 8 years and have an amazing Dr. here in TX where I live. He prescribed Clodine and clonazepam. Hope that helps. Feel free to email me if you have questions.
