benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.

last friday night i suddenly became lightheaded and extremely dizzy. at first, i thought that the hot fudge sunday i had just eaten from mcdonald's was the cause of this sudden onset of dizziness. however, when the nausea, dizziness, and vomitting did not subside for the next 3 hours, i knew it must have been something else.

david, my sister, and brother took me to the ER that evening and the doctors said i had vertigo. it basically is an imbalance you get that causes you to feel very dizzy and nauseated. the best way i could describe it is the feeling you'd get if you rode the teacups at disneyland and could never get off. that is how i'm feeling right now. i've been in bed for the past 3 days drugged up on valium. i'm starting to kind of "get used to" the dizziness, but it's still persistent and will not go away. even as i am typing this post my eyes are getting all cross-eyed and my head is swaying. david keeps telling me not to push it, but i am so tired of being in bed not doing anything.

the worst part is that the doctor told me yesterday that vertigo COMES BACK. it's not a one time thing. it'll come back and there's no way to tell when, nor is there a way to cure it.

prayers, please.
