My Meniere’s Disease is acting up today. It hit me real sudden, right when I got to my first class today. I tried to go to my 2nd class, but I felt so nauseous from the dizziness that left before class even started. So long as I keep my eyes straight ahead, don’t look side to side, and walk on straight lines, I can more or less get around with a minimum of stumbliness. As I type this, my screen is shaking side to side and closer and farther, at a rate of about 3 cycles per second. It would be amusing if it didn’t make me want to toss my cookies.
I took a valium, which I keep on me for this very reason. Now I’m both dizzy and loopy, reduced to a state of clumsy, sleepy oafishness.
