I’m feeling so much better than I was a week ago today. I woke up this morning for the first time without feeling an immediate need to take my medication and crawl back into bed. In fact, I didn’t even take it until I got to work. I got both girls ready for the day without many problems. After an episode like last week, you really learn to appreciate your health.
I did see my doctor on Monday morning, and he said that I seem to have Benign positional vertigo (BPV) – my inner ear is out of whack and will take time to get back to normal. He didn’t really give a time frame for how long it might take, a few days to a long time. He said that since I am improving, that we are just going to see how it goes. If it gets worse, I’m to go back, but otherwise, I stay on the medication as needed.
I can’t drive as long as I’m on the medication, so I’m really hoping to be able to go without it soon. Of course, I won’t be driving as long as I’m dizzy anyway. I’m not really dizzy anymore, more just having random balance checks if I’m not careful about how I turn my head when I’m moving around. Maybe by this weekend I’ll be in better shape…
