Goddess help me....please...

Yesireebob - this is what I have officially been 'diagnosed' with. You have no idea how bad this is - or how terrifying this is...I have to laugh because when I was little one of my favourite things to do was spin around and around and around until the room began to spin around me - but now I am a grown up and without the buzz of alcohol my body is doing this to me at times and there's no warning and no control and I just want it to stop. Seriously.

The treatment: Sleep!!!! or pills to make you sleep. I just can't do this.

We are trying to figure out the underlying causes and figure out some other options/plan of treatment because if I have to be on pills to make you sleepy all the time I just can't live that way...

I've asked before - I will ask again....

Keep me in your prayers...

Love to all

Colette


EDIT (from dear Mr. C): Vertigo is not a disease but a symptom: dizziness, a sensation that things around a person are moving, a seasick-type of feeling, different from fainting in that a person doesn't actually pass out. Behind the symptom, there can be serious problems. Go herefor more info
