I’ve had a rough week.
I haven’t been feeling all that well. For once it doesn’t seem to be my Crohn’s that’s acting up … it’s something else.
I’ve been dizzy. Crazy dizzy … room spinning dizzy … fall over dizzy.
Today isn’t too bad, but the last two days were terrible. I was dizzy even when I was lying down and worse when I was standing.
My doctor thinks it’s another migraine side effect. I seem to get really dizzy hours or even for a few days before a bad migraine hits.
I’ve never in my life been this dizzy … well with the exception of the few times I had way too much to drink and couldn’t shut my eyes when I tried to sleep or else the room would spin even faster. LOL (Ever tried falling asleep with your eyes open – not easy!)
I’d rather have been doing searches for discount diet pills for the last two days than even spend one more hour with this extreme dizziness.
A week from tomorrow I’ll be in the hospital having an MRI (actually two different head MRI’s apparently) so I guess I’ll find out soon enough if anything serious is going on. I’m keeping my fingers (and toes) crossed that it’s just migraines even though that diagnoses will be bad enough as my migraines and side effects like squiggly visual auras have been quite bad lately.
Oh and at the end of June I wrote a post about going to the hospital for a bunch of xrays and ultrasounds? Well I’ve been called back in to have another mammogram and ultrasound of my left breast … God I hope they didn’t find anything. Or rather I hope that this second round of tests proves that there’s nothing there that shouldn’t be there. If there is … well there’s a good chance it’s benign. I seem to grow tumors (breast, thyroid and one weird one in my thigh) and they’ve all been either pre-cancerous or benign … so if there is anything in my left breast lets hope it’s harmless.
hey! I’m a blond(bottle) and I’m not ever dizzy…well, at least not the room spinning kind of dizzy…dingy? maybe
LOL Jackie. Glad to hear you aren’t dizzy.
Sounds like you’ve had a bad week. Hope it all vanishes soon.
Thanks Jean Luc .. those two days were terrible! I’ve been a little bit dizzy each day since, but not quite as bad. I’m seeing one of my doctors tomorrow and I’ll see what she thinks of my newish problem. I’m sure some of my doctors will think it’s an inner ear problem and I guess it could be, but I’m fairly sure that the dizziness is tied in to my migraines.
If there’s one thing that needs more sympathy in this world, it’s migraine sufferers. As a fellow one, I’m hoping that your MRI reaffirms that it’s just migraines at the cause and act accordingly. Good vibes to you!
Thanks Eugenia I certainly hope that the MRI doesn’t show any serious problems … or any problems!
Migraine is awful, but I hope that nothing worse will happen to you and the survey did not show serious diseases.
Hi Tricia! I’ve read this post a few days ago, but I remained speechless. Did your test results come back, how about that MRI? You are a very strong person with a good sense of humor and I don’t think there is anything you cannot handle. I’ve been reading your blog and it’s been quite inspiring. Thank you for that and I am really looking forward to hear some news about you.
Hey i am feeling very bad that you had a bad week…. Let hopes that the better days will come again.
Stay well Tricia..
Drink more water & don;t work too hard:)
Hope you recovering soon..
Oh, you poor thing! Sounds awful. I hope they find the problem soon so your dog soon looses his stripes….All the very best wishes for you are sent today 🙂
