No More Dizzy Blonde!

This dizzy blonde doesn't want to be dizzy anymore! Ever since I was a little girl, I have had problems with vertigo. I would get this debilitating disease every three months as a child. I remember having the same dream before waking up so dizzy I would throw up. I couldn't get out of bed. The whole world was spinning and all I could do was lay in bed until it passed. This would go on for three days. Doctors always said I would outgrow it and, for a while, I did. In college and my twenties I barely got this horrible ailment, but when I did, the vertigo seemed to hit me when I was worn down. Now as I've gotten older, had three kids and then a complete hysterectomy, the dizziness has hit me more often. Well I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. No more guessing, or home remedies. I am not going to assume it's allergy-related or anything else anymore. I am finally getting help. And, boy am I happy! Today I went to an ENT doctor who specializes in vertigo and spent an hour and a half in his office- answering questions, taking tests, getting solutions. I go back Thursday for some more extensive testing and I am a little nervous, but oh, so happy. You know why? I'm finally going to get some answers. I have something, and have had it all my life, that is real. People who battle with dizziness or vertigo have a disadvantage, I think, because the disease can be so hard to diagnose. Do you know what the doc thinks it might be? Some form of vertigo migraine. This makes so much sense to me, because when I am hit with this (like a bomb), I am in bed for days. Don't come near me, don't move around me, no lights on or food. And I have always been so encapsulated by the dizzy/nausea part of my illness, that I have made light of the headache that accompanies it. I do have a headache when I get this. Now, we don't know for sure and I am still learning about all of this, but if this is what I do have, then I can take a little pill at the onset to stop it. Praise God! I am free at last! (At least I'm getting there).
