Heads up
Left the Hospital on Sunday afternoon, Kevin came and picked me up. We could not find our way out from the hospital!!
I said to Kev, "maybe they let you in but not out". He did not find that funny at all?
After I had landed in my own bed I started doing the Eply manuver. It means you actually stimulate the sensation of spinning until you fatigue the symptoms. Easy, NOT !!
If you can imagine spinning out of control every time you try to move, and how well you feel for hours after. This I had to do 3 times a day.
I did it and way and behold on Monday afternoon I was cured, or at least that was what I thought.
Woke up Tuesday morning and felt like I had been out partying, I felt sick and every thing was moving even when I sat still. I did not do my Eply manuver at all as I was to neasous. A big mistake!
Woke up Wednesday morning and the walls were falling in on me, could not stand up.
Prior to this it had only been spinning when I was laying down and moved my head from side to side, and a bit shaky walking.
Called my work and told them I would not be in on Thursday or Friday either, went to see my GP and he gave me see sick pills. Nothing helped ... Wednesday evening I was so miserable it was not funny, could not sit or lay down with out spinning out. Fell over in bed and passed out for a few seconds.
I was violently sick in my stomach and did not want to be me any more.
Had an appointment for Thursday morning to see a Neurologist. Kevin had to drag me in as I was like the leaning tower of Pisa.
Dr Redell made me walk on a line and I could not keep my balance, he checked every thing and was not happy. He sent me down to have an MRI urgent, to check for any abnormality on my brain.
Kevin dragged me around, or maybe it was I who dragged him, cause If I had fallen he would have gone down with me :)
Great news the MRI scan can back normal, but the fact remains I am still dizzy and still have problems standing or walking. Dr Redell will have me do the "rostisserie". No, you do not get a tan with it, it is a special ride where they test Nasa Pilots and dizzy girls like me to see if there is something wrong with their ears.
So here I am propped up in bed waiting for life to begin

$9 & up -- Flights Around Australia at 50% OFF
Hey guys,
Check this out, lets go some where and have some fun
$9 & up -- Flights Around Australia at 50% OFF
I have been in bed for a week and if I could wipe this week from my life I would.
Acute Vertigo, every time I move I spin like a fast spin in a washing machine.
Could not stand up with out falling to the left.
MRI scan was good so I am happy about that !
Lots of needles and blood taken.. spent 2 days in the hospital.. can't believe one week has gone by!
I am so happy to be almost well and nothing serious. But I tell you it was a wake up call.
We do not live forever and we are so fragile .... I for one will start living more and taking better care of myself.
How about you?
Love life and yourself
Irene

Always Mondays and Fridays
Hi Guys,
Have you ever noticed that is seem to be Monday or Friday, anything in between goes like a blur!
Why is that ?
Life seem to be spinning out of control!! I do not have time to do what I want, between working full time, taking courses, going to weight watchers, spending time with Kevin.
No wonder people don't know who I am after they have interviewed me for a job opening...I hardly know myself :).
Actually I am a bit disgusted with recruiters. Not one but many recruiters seem to do the same thing. They promise you the world and to call you back, then they never do! What is that all about. Is it about making them feel better about themselves ? Where is customer service !
Yes, I know I am wining.. but I just had to, as I am getting very frustrated with people who promise and not deliver
I have now started working on a project that might help me with the problem !!
I will tryt it out this week end and then let you know if it works or not.
see ya

Just another day!
Hi guys,
Just another day! Or maybe not.
Rolled out of bed at 5 am.. checked for New jobs ! Bingo there was one with a fabric and interior design company. I applied at 5.30am, maybe a mistake as I was not quite awake yet. Time will tell.
Today I was told my company where I work have no money to give me the raise they had promised me in Dec 2009, as long as I stayed on, and they could tap in to my knowledge and experience, to help the new Practice Manager. I stayed .......... and got no reward! Will have my talk with them tomorrow, will keep you posted as I am, Not happy to say the least.
More to come. Please keep you fingers crossed for me.

The queen of commute!
The Queen of commute, that is me ! Not very funny, but so true.
Yesterday I was ready to crawl out of my skin... It took me two hours to get home, it take takes17 minutes to drive.
You tell me what is wrong with Sydney's infra structure and with the public transport. One morning you wake up and they have taken away 2 direct buses out of 3 on my line, but they have increased the bus fare with $1.30 a day. The connections don't work any more and I had to wait for over 40 minutes at the Queen Victoria building for my 2 bus connection to go home. It is really pain full !!
What can we do ?
