So...yesterday morning I went to get out of bed and this overwhelming feeling of dizziness sat me right back down. I tried to stand again with the same results. Then I became sick to my stomach. I have never felt something so awful. I tried to get up and function, but I was sick to my stomach and so dizzy I couldn't even stand. I finally got a shower, got dressed and called my parents to take me to urgent care. This is big for me. I never go to the doctor. I don't think I have been in at least three years, so you know I was feeling miserable. The doctor said I had a inner-ear infection and gave me so medicine to take down the inflammation in my ear and something to make me not so sick. The medicine that she gave me for my ear makes the rest of me feel terrible. I already quit taking it. The medicine for the sickness makes me so sleepy that I am out cold within 15 minutes of taking it.
I am feeling better today. Forcing myself to be up and moving. The dizziness is only now and then and the icky feeling is starting to get better. The doctor said I was lucky, most people stand up and fall right over. I was able to sit back down. Some kind of lucky:)
Today I am thankful for medical insurance. We went a few years without it and were lucky we didn't need it then, but I made use of it yesterday.
Ugh, I'm sorry, Allison. I've got a bug, too! Glad to hear you're a little better today. The dizziness is NOT fun!

ReplyDeleteI hope that you are feeling better. I know that there is something miserable going around. Glad that you were one of the "lucky ones" and didn't fall down!
