Vertigo

Vertigo is no longer just a movie for me.

Sunday afternoon I had an attack like I have never had before.  I had before some small attacks in the morning getting up attributed to my APAP.

I had eaten lunch and was enjoying the first two sips of a brandy when the room began to spinn as if I had just finished a huge bottle of brandy.  Then I began to sweat and was clammy alll over.  DW finally convinced me to let her call 911.  They came and took me to ABMC/ER where I was treated well and quickly with an IV and some oral meds then sent him after a few hours with a script for more oral meds which I am still taking.  I can type today though or at least think I can.

So you have been forgiven?

How scary that must have been for you and your wife!

I am glad that you have gotten treatment and are recovering!

I can kind of relate to you.  I have had vertigo since 1990 and on meds for it.  I haven't had the room actually spin just a woozy feeling all of the time and worse at other times.  Has the medicine helped you since you have been sent home? 

I'll be thinking about you and hope you feel better.
