    About Me

    Have suffered with vertigo since the 90's after having been diagnosed and treated for an unusual measles outbreak. The dizzies have been really bad for the last six months. It really stinks to be dizzy and sick!

    Interests

    I love New York City, The Beatles and my children! I also love to write, and anything to do with Halloween!

      From TunaMan January 14

      I wrote this poem several years ago and hope that you will enjoy it and that it may give comfort and reassurance into the meaning of life. It goes as follows: LIFE'S JOURNEY I pray that God will bless you At the start of each new day And grant you health and happiness And friends to share your way As you journey through this life To reach that Ultimate Goal May you find peace and happiness Deap within your soul The road is long and narrow Full of trials and sufferings too But you must continually endure it As the appropriate thing to do Each of us has a tunnel Either filled with thorns or roses We must travel through the thorny tunnel To achieve heaven and the roses.

      Treatments

      Antivert Somewhat Helpful
      Makes me tired though and pretty much dysfunctional when taking it.
      Epley Maneuver Somewhat Helpful
      I guess it's helped a little. If I feel a spell coming on, I do the exercises and sometimes it keeps the vertigo at bay although I can still feel it trying to come on.
