Vertigo entered my life a little over 2 years ago. Not the movie, though I could have handled that a lot better. That horrible sensation when you move your head a certain way, and the room just spins. It came on like gang busters. I actually missed work for a few days at the start, and then it got a bit easier to deal with.

I had been aware of other people who had experienced it, and I considered myself very lucky. Mine was a bit milder than some I knew of. I could still drive, and I never got sick. It was just becoming a master of how to move my head around and in what position to prevent a spin. The first onset lasted for over a year, and then would leave for a few weeks.

My longest absence from vertigo was from January of this year, until a few days ago. I did tons of reading on the subject. The possible causes and solutions. No ear infections were involved, no tumors, but perhaps hormones. Yes, it always comes down to those. So not having it for so long, made me go back to how I behaved before it ever came about. Now, once again, I must think before I turn, bend or look back.

I decided to just deal with it on my own terms. It’s a nuisance and a pain in the ass. However, as I said earlier, I am lucky. I can still sit here and type, and work and run or walk and drive. Just don’t ask me to look up at the stars! That might cause a major spin out!
If anyone who might read this ,has ever experienced it, share. Only those who have had it, know how it feels. It does change your daily routine, but as with anything else, sometimes you just have to deal with things.
