The Winter Dizzies

Hi Everyone

Well after a full December of less intense dizziness and vertigo I am sadly back to feeling heavy headed and out of it. To go a whole month with my symptoms much less intense is a first but hopefully not the last time. The main symptom that basically vanished was my full pressured like head. You know that heavy, full, swaying sensation. It feels like a balloon expanded under your skull. That went away as did any noticeable headaches for the whole month and because of this my balance and sense of well being and clarity was much better and the visual and internal movement appeared and felt much less. I no longer felt like I was being pushed and pulled because of every shift of weight I made or because of every movement my eyes tracked. The sensations were steady and under control instead of all encompassing and erratic.

Why I had an easier month I do not know neither do I understand why I woke up roughly six days ago with a heavy head and weighted and all of the usual symptoms heightened. So it is back to feeling like a robot and taking more care and thought when turning from one room to the next.Small things like cleaning my teeth are once again a brain shaker. My visual perspective of height and depth is just plain wrong ( I know this since my kitchen now appears to be back on an angle the walls are breathing and I swear the ground is closer today). Also that zombie like vacant stare at an object but can't quite connect visually with it sensation is in full force. That being said I remember days even worse.

Anyhow I am pleased I had that month it is certainly a positive in my journey thus far. It's now the new year and hopefully by the end of 2015 there will be significant improvement as this is the year I finally commence treatment with a specialist neuro-otologist.

I best leave you guys now as this typing is sending me of my rocker (head is buzzing with swaying fullness)

Happy new year guys maybe this will be the year you and I get better.
