As if the current health issues haven't been enough. I've now added a touch of vertigo to the mix. I woke up at 2am Sunday morning and went to the bathroom. I got incredibly dizzy and things were spinning. I tried to go back to bed but then felt like I was going to throw up. I spent the next hour in the bathroom.
Finally got back to bed and had to lay on my back with a couple pillows. Fell back asleep till 6:30. I spent all day on the couch. I'm ok if I don't move my head real fast or bend over. But I'm so incredibly wore out.
I'm writing this Sunday night and hoping that I feel better in the morning. I have a loan to close at work and don't know what I'll do if I can't make it. I'm the only one in the office on Monday.
Right now though I'm going to finish writing my posts for the week and then go back to the couch until it's time to go to bed.

That's rough. Quick trip to an ENT - it may only be crystals in the ear and they can fix that right up.
I'm so sorry! I have had BPV (benign positional vertigo) for over 40 years.) It has been so bad that things spin even with my eyes closed! Try not to tilt your head back, that will cause it. Also no fast head movements. My doctor gives me Dramamine for it, the motion sickness pills. That is the only thing that sometimes helps. It has never helped me, but it might for you. It's such a horrible feeling. You need to keep a walker close by!!! Back when I didn't have one, I had to crawl on the floor.
Oh no, Ann! The Epley maneuver helped me get the ear crystals back in place - usually the cause of vertigo. But perhaps visit an ENT to make sure.
I hope you are all right today, and I hope if you keep getting attacks they can help.
Not my area but a little visit to your EENT doctor seems called for…could be as simple as a sinus infection, but you might do better to let someone check you out. If you have an urgent care unit, that’s a good place to start.
Big hug

I had a version of this recently, though not quite as severely as you. I hope it's passed now and you're feeling more normal.
Ann goodness me I am so sorry for that scar on Saturday.
I hope and pray today you are better. Will you call your Doctor re:
dizziness?
Sending healing warm hugs

I hope you feel better today. I have experienced vertigo. My doctor said to take a Dramamine at first signs of Vertigo. I don’t know if that will help, as I have t had vertigo since she made that suggestion.
I have a dear friend that I used to tell, "one of these days it will hit you and you will fall apart all at once". I started falling apart in my late 20s....she waited later, she is mid 70s now and all is going at once., Its really unfair, we work so hard to get to this point in life where we can enjoy more things, but you can't cause you can't stay well or you have to keep bending to pick up other parts, and usually then you fart!
I am so sorry to read this. I too am struggling. Some things are better but my lungs are terrible. I want me back and I want you to have yourself back too. Sorry you got dizzy and spent time in the bathroom.
I hope you are doing better today. ((HUGS))
Darn that doesn't sound at all fun. Hubby has had issues with Vertigo and so has our granddaughter. I hope by now you are feeling much better.
Oh my ... by the time you read this I sure hope you were able to go to work and close that loan. Prayers on their way !!

I know so many people who suffer from this. Hope things have cleared up by now. Ken had it a couple of times, but hasn't for a long time now.
I went through this when I was working. It was an inner ear infections. Easy to fix.
Have a fabulous day and week, Ann. Healing hugs to you and lots of scritches to Gibbs. ♥
Did it go away today and hope you got into work. I am so sorry, I hate vertigo.
Oh yuck! I had this once. Looked up the ear crystal thing to fix it, followed the video and it worked. I do hope you're okay now, Ann.
Oh no, I am very sorry to read about this. Hope you are feeling better by now.
Oh Ann, feeling dizzy 😵 😪 is very scary 😨
I hope you are feeling better now. Bless your heart ❤️
