more ‘fits and symps’

by admin

I described it to my doctor yesterday as feeling like a cast member on NYPD Blue–a reference to their jolty camera technique. Talk about suck.

To determine if true vertigo exists, you must describe a sensation of disorientation or motion. In addition, you may also have any or all of these symptoms:

Nausea or vomiting

Sweating

Abnormal eye movements

The duration can be from minutes to hours and can be constant or episodic. The onset may be due to movement or change in position. It is important to tell your doctor about any recent head trauma or whiplash injury as well as any new medications you may be taking.

You may have hearing loss and a ringing sensation in your ears.

You might have visual disturbances, weakness, difficulty speaking, decreased level of consciousness, and difficulty walking.

Has anyone ever had vertigo?  Any holistic-ish remedies to recommend, besides laying down, not moving, and closing my eyes?  With work and everything I can’t really do that.

 I said it once, I’ll say it again: Paxil can suck it.
