...finding my feet again after that little hiccup that came about by my friend's shocking death, however now I have been diagnosed with VERTIGO, and every time I stand up I fall over whilst every time I turn my head it feels as though it is going to spin off! LOL (if I was not feeling so nauseus).
Doc thinks the stress did not help, but the viral infection and the subsequent post viral infections have not helped either.
I feel as though I am drunk and the room continues to move when I stand up, but what is most disturbing is that my bed is like a merry-go-round. I hate merry-go-rounds and stay off them and I have never been a fan of the fairground rides and this makes me feel as though I am constantly on one.
Now I know what it feels like to have been intoxicated beyond my body's tolerance and I HATE IT. So I do feel a little for those who find this feeling needsome in their lives.
There for the Grace of God go I.
Sorry got to go lie down again before I fall off the chair. ARGHHH! The last time I had this it lasted for around five months. Boo hoo.

Been going thru that myself HB and it's got me concerned enough to get out of one of my businesses...that of roof repair and replacement. It's been violent enough while in my house to cause me real concern. The major portion is gone and the residual portion still has me concerned. Gotta do what I gotta do. Take care of yourself and follow suggested guidelines on it.
Sending prayers that you will be feeling better soon! I haven't been well lately either, and have had two migraines that sent me to ER in a month, so I understand.
Please do take care of yourself (((hugs)))

HB, if you google New York Times, there is an article on it in today's edition.
I had this for around 8 months.
It was horrible. I would fall on the sidewalk. I could not use tools (I am an artist). I am so sorry you are needing to go through this. When people told me of this before I actually experienced it I thought it must not be that big of a deal- let me tell you, after actually experiencing it, I know it is a very big deal.
PLEASE be careful. I swear that the stress of having this problem makes it a zillion times worse! Mine was stress-related. It just very slowly faded away after around 6-7 months.
I went to the doctor and she said there was nothing she could do. I guess there is some exercise on-line (if you google vertigo, you will find it) but it did not work for me. Its like laying on the bed with your head hanging off the edge and doing something? Anyway, take care and hope it departs quickly. Hugs, J.
