Hi Everyone,
Prayes to all my disboard friends. I haven't been on much, but all my disboard friends are remembered in my prayers.
I am currently suffering from Vertigo. I was first diagnosed Feb of 2008. It went away for the most part for a year. Only having passing moments of it during that year. Unfortunately, it came back this past winter. I have had few days without atleast a passing wave of it since. Since April 1st I have been suffering from it to the extreme. Meaning nausea (& worse), stumbling, even fallling. I can't sleep due to the feeling of falling out of bed. The doctors have prescribed meclizine, even though I take 1/2 a pill I cann't stay awake with it. I have been pretty much unable to work. I'm not driving. It is difficult to be on the computer or read. I am constantly spinning. I have tried, Physical therapy, meds, psychologist, 2 neurologist, an ENT who speciliazes in Vertigo/meniurs disease, accupunture. I cann't go to a chiropractor due to other medical conditions.
I have faith that everything happens for a reason. I realize there are alot more serious conditions. We know I am blessed. My concern is financial. I'm barely middle age, I cann't retire. I have been approved for FMLA, and have just applied for short term disability. I waited as long as I could before I even applied for it, hoping I would be able to return to work, but now all my paid leave is gone. I spoke with the disablity insurance people today, now I am concerned because this is generally considered an intermitten medical condition that they will deny my claim. Does anyone have any good news regarding anything like this. I just need a little hope. I think since all I can do all day sit & recline, I have too much time on my hands, therefor thinking too much.
Like I say. I cann't be on the computer too much. My DD is helping me out by typing this. ... which would explain any she's instead of I..(sorry)
