Kate this is brilliant, really brilliant! I have experienced vertigo but not nearly to the degree that you are continuing to experience.. it feels just like.. Your image. Bravo for a most unique entry!
Oh wow! It makes me dizzy just to look at it. I have known people who have experienced vertigo and it is not fun. They did eventually recover from it though and I hope you will soon too.
I suffered this a few years ago. A friend suggested that it might be BPPV (among other things). I searched on YouTube for a test for it. Found several, tried the maneuver and within two minutes I knew I had it in my left ear. Other videos demonstrated how to get relief from it... basically the same maneuver but slower. But if I would look straight up, it would return. Fortunately this only lasted a couple of months and it hasn't come back. Sorry if you're still suffering from it. It was no fun. Anyway, your photos do the symptoms justice!
I can't look at the photos, only squint. I read the words prior to the photos actually opening and knew that I couldn't really look. I have no desire to deal with motion sickness or vertigo right now--I'm not wearing my acupressure bracelets which have proven to be a great aid for me. I hope you are no longer dealing with this rotten-to-the-core condition.
A good attempt at explaining the symptoms of BPPV, Kate. I hope that when you go to the neuologists at the Mayo, they can confirm the BPPV, or set further investigations in motion, oops .. poor choice of word..

ReplyDeleteKate, those books are on my shelf and they all belonged to my grandfather.
ReplyDeleteI am still trying to figure out how you did this?
ReplyDeleteVery creative shots but oh no, no fun...
ReplyDeleteI have to go take a nap!

ReplyDeleteVery creative.
ReplyDeleteWhoa! Very effective post except it breaks my heart to imagine feeling like that. So, so sorry!
ReplyDeleteI've had bouts of vertigo before and it's such a terrible feeling. Hope things improve for you soon.
