Vertigo

Vertigo is an interesting experience. For me, I get severe vertigo probably twice a year. The experience isn't very pleasant, especially if it hits you while your are walking around and you suddenly get motion sickness.

Well, I got vertigo today. A bad case of it, too. I'm still experiencing lingering symptoms as I'm typing this. So how it happened is I was just typing away on my computer and all of the sudden I started to feel a little dizzy. I thought at first it was just my sinuses until it started getting worse and the room looked like it was spinning.

So I tried slumping back in my chair to help the spinning, then it hit me. I have to pee. lol

I tried getting up to go to the bathroom; I get about halfway there and the motion sickness sets in. I'm getting sick because I'm having tunnel vision and the fact that I can't walk in a straight line.

So I turn around and head back to my office to wait out the spell. I call up my boyfriend to see if he could help calm me down. Unfortunately, he was on his way to a meeting.

So, for me this is a very scary experience. The last serious vertigo I had I nearly fainted. The room was spinning and everything started to go dark. But I didn't faint and eventually came out of it.

So, I just wanted to share that experience. I didn't realize how much it exhausts me too. I'm really sleepy now...
