I will, however, persevere with my stubborn stupidity and try again: <br /><br />When so many have been so sympathetic and supportive of your dizziness-syndrome, I feel quite the eejit coming here to tell you how funny I found the teenage-drinking horror story, but I did. Find it funny. It would make a kicking theatre-play scene in the hands (pen? typewriter? computer?) of, say, Alan Ayckbourne. <br /><br />However, I am truly hoping you feel better or at least not totally shite today. Many mwahs.<br /><br />xAnna MRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13801478271766064478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432201290620111119.post-73216162837098252322013-01-13T20:25:21.889+00:002013-01-13T20:25:21.889+00:00oh god I do sympathise - something I get spells of...oh god I do sympathise - something I get spells of too, but in my case they usually pass after a day or two.

One of my balance organs was totally damaged by a flare up of an autoimmne disease a couple of years ago. I have been dizzy ever since. Sometimes more, sometimes hardly at all, depending on what the day brings - and the night, for that matter. It was the most frightening thing at first and I really feared for my life (found out that loss of balance can have that effect). Amazingly, there is an enormous capacity for compensation, even if both inner ears are affected. It takes a while so be patient (!!) and check out simple vestibular compensation exercise on youtube. <br />Obviously, you also want to go and see an ENT expert just to get a proper diagnosis (which involves quite a bit more than swivelling a pen in front of your eyes). Dizziness can have so many causes and lucky for us our brain has amazing plasticity - I hope that's the proper word.<br />Take care and stay positive, it really does help.<br />Sabinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09015827501648296977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432201290620111119.post-28504332675700725442013-01-12T21:13:57.437+00:002013-01-12T21:13:57.437+00:00Cakelady, I always need emergency cake and they do...<b>Cakelady</b>, I <i>always</i> need emergency cake and they don't seem to provide it on the NHS!<br /><br /><b>Zhoen</b>, thanks for this, I have heard that something like this was on youtube - I will give your suggestion a try.

Can't find it now, but I will try to describe. <br /><br /><br />Sit on the side of a bench (bed) look left, lie down without moving the relative position of your head (Look at the ceiling.) Stay there for a minute (longer? five, maybe? Or until the dizziness eases.) Sit back up, return head to front. Repeat for the other side. Did this every couple of hours for a few days, and that dizziness went away, and has not returned. <br /><br />Zhoenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03515663141425057088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432201290620111119.post-70878609875839865052013-01-12T19:12:09.289+00:002013-01-12T19:12:09.289+00:00Oh dear god that sounds awful, do you need emergen...Oh dear god that sounds awful, do you need emergency cake?cakeladynoreply@blogger.com
