Dizziness is the third most common medical symptom reported and vertigo is to blame for at least 40% of those sufferers. Some people say they can predict the weather before a storm through how they feel, and problems with balance on a normal day are only worsened by a sudden change in barometric pressure.
Iv mentioned previously that a glass of wine on a "dizzy day" completely turns my day around and settles any feelings of drunkiness (oh the irony!) I'm not sure that a hip flask in my desk drawer at work is entirely appropriate so a latte will have to do!
Doctors advise to avoid bed rest and to get back to normal routine as soon as possible to kick start the brain in to compensating for the vertigo allowing it not to develop in to an "all day long" episode. Its sometimes easier said than done when I can barely walk in a straight line through the office!
19 months on from loosing my hearing my bad days are getting further and further apart. I'm not sure if its luck or whether its just a change in mind set. Either way, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger and however cliché it sounds, there is always something to smile about, even on a bad day.
Someone I barely know told me this week how much they liked my blog and that they had read every one, while my new work colleagues changed my phone around so it was on my good side.
Its the small things that really do make my day...
