Gettin' the dizzies - (i.e. getting old is the pits)*sarcasm filled*

[CathrynRose]

I cant move my head around too much.... I tilted my head back in my chair and WHOOOOOSH a rush of the dizzies!

Im tired of knowing the weather that will soon hit, from the pain in my neck, Im tired of knowing it will rain - even when the weather man says "clear skies" from my ankle's piercing pain....

Getting old - it aint all it's cracked up to be. I dont feel any "wiser" - I feel "achier" ! ! !

You realize if it were still Little House on the Prarie days - I'd been dead by now. I'd have like 6 kids, and grandkids, no teeth and be bed-ridden and ready for God's Kingdom. <sigh>

Ah, the old "benign positional vertigo." Lovely, isn't it?

Youre right! I looked it up: http://www-surgery.ucsd.edu/ent/PatientInfo/info_bppv.html

I have a "condition" now.... <<<sobbing>>>>

Im going to admit myself the nursing home, tonight - after work.

I'm sorry that you are going through this. My mother actually has the condition that is a little bit worse.

It's called Meniere's disease. http://www.entnet.org/healthinfo/balance/meniere.cfm

She was so sick for months before she found out what it was. She would be in the bathroom from just doing day to day things. And she is only 65, and I don't think that is old at all! Luckily she has been put on some medication that has seemed to help.

I hope that yours was just a one time thing!

Sounds like you have a low iron count. You can ask your dr to take a blood test to see what your iron count is.

I saw you took your picture off, I think I am going to do the same. I am so self conscious everytime I post and see our picture come up.

I didnt take it off on purpose. I messed something up when I was in there and have been too lazy to go fix it.

DH and I have had this discussion.....I would have probably died in child birth....but my back would probably still be intact if I had made it this far 'cause I wouldn't have been in any of the car accidents!

I probably would have died in child-birth too! They had to plunger both my kids out....

Joey's head *seriously* looked like the Coneheads...

How you hanging, MTBLU?

Doing better today. I had a good hard cry after all the posts the other day and I went out and had lunch with DH and did a little shopping yesterday.....trying to change my schedule around a little bit so I don't spend so much time alone right now.

How are you doing??

ETA: Didn't mean to kill your thread!! Hope you are doing well!
