Well guys, this is my apology post...
I'm sorry I havent been
keeping up with my blogs, have been knitting and crocheting but its been a slow process over the last week or so, plus Ive been busy with allotment and gardening stuff and the usual family stuff with my eldest starting school tomorrow.
As well as that I
have had quite a diffcult time health wise over the last week or so. I'm
not wiritng this to have anyone feeling sorry for me, but if any of you
have or know or anyone who has been diagnosed with the same condition
I'm reaching out to you for your experiences and how you control the
disease.
6 years ago i was diagnosed with menieres
disease. For those of you that don't know its an inner ear condition
that causes dizziness, ringing in your ears and hearing loss amongst
other things. I have been relatively ok for quite some time with just
the odd slight dizzy spell, however over the last week or so its been
terrible! I ended up on the floor unable to get up on Monday night and
had to phone my dad to come and 'rescue ' me. Since then I've had to
take things alot easier. Even walking the short distance to the shop or
even down the stairs of our flat has been a challenge. Ive been
prescribed some anti dizziness tablets ( Prochlorperazine) [how on earth
do the doctors even know how to both pronounce this stuff and spell
it!!?!]
I haven't tried them yet (i only got the prescription yesterday and am waiting to pick it up).
In
the pasty Ive had Betahistine and some kind of water tablet (i can't
remember its name) both of which made me feel worse. I recently googled
it and found a guy who also suffered from meneieres who had been taking
anti fungal medication with quite some success, however my doctor was
unamused with this idea.
So, anyone out there that has any tips or tricks or useful info, please please let me know!
thanks for reading and hopefully back to yarn related posts soon :)
