Shock the vertigo out of me

I  have not posted in a couple of weeks so I thought I best had as I don't want you thinking I had ran off. I didn't want to bore you with the same old I'm dizzy blah blah blah so I thought it best to take a little break from blogging.

Anyway during this last couple of weeks I have ramped up my cardio exercise schedule like I said I would and have really gone for it. I have repeatedly pushed my body to the limit, deciding that my vertigo is not going to beat me. I have been working out hard daily convinced that if I push myself and move that not only will my body and fitness be better but also my vertigo.

Unfortunately I am still dizzy 24/7 and the dizziness immediately increases upon starting my routine and continues to worsen as the workout progresses which leaves me at the end of each workout absolutely disorientated, unable to walk from room to room and utterly zoned out for about 30min afterwards. When feeling like this I just accept it and sit down not moving my head and I eventually come back down to my familiar base dizzy level. I am now starting to fling my body side to side, bend over (still not great bending over) and jumping up, down, left and right all the while dealing with the vertigo and visual problems. I am going to pummel and shock the vertigo out of me I swear.

I have to admit that I do worry a little about maybe over doing it and possibly causing myself more harm than good as there have been a few days here and there that have not been too nice with frequent waves of nausea as a result of all the exercise but hey just exercising alone is a huge improvement for me so if I can do it then I am going to do it and go all out.

I sometimes wonder where on earth my will power comes from. To get up everyday and workout whilst dealing with a chronic vestibular issue. I am sure many of you fellow sufferers think I am bonkers for even attempting it but I have a plan and that is to batter the vertigo out of me. If my fitness improves then shouldn't my brain and vestibular system also improve? My brain must adapt it simply MUST.

So there you go, nothing new to speak of but I thought I would give you a little update. Until next time
