After my previous post last Thursday I expected to be in for a very rough week but fortunately it has been manageable, not great but ok. It's just so discouraging when my symptoms decide to fire on all cylinders for no particular reason and I immediately assume I am back to square one for good. I don't ever want to feel as bad as I did for the first 5 years of this thing ever again. So sorry for the negativity in my last post, that dramatic increase in my vertigo/symptoms scared me a little. Stupid really as I know this is what happens, I know symptoms are up and down but even after all this time I cannot get used to it. I think I am getting somewhere then boom reality check. It pains me that I still have this issue after so long.
Anyway this week has not been bad really. I have really tried to increase the intensity of my current mild cardio workouts. This I know could be the wrong thing to do as I am sure exercise irritates the brain further (maybe this is why I feel so rough lately) but I figure that I have tried everything else and since I can exercise again some of these days I may as well go for it and try to get my body fit in the hope it might have a positive effect on my brain and vestibular system. Maybe it will kick start my brain and vestibular system in to gear (I don't know but I am going to give it my best shot). It is difficult working out as I have to constantly balance myself and fight the pull/push sensations and the moving environment. Dizziness or visual vertigo is not a friend when simply standing still nevermind trying to hold a yoga position, bend over or jump to the floor and back up. I am sure you vertigo sufferers understand what I am saying.
Got to keep trying
