Dizziness & Vertigo Support Group
Dizziness is the sensation of instability. Vertigo refers to dizziness with a sensation of motion. Vertigo is more likely than other types of dizziness to be associated with nausea, vomiting, or double vision, to occur even when lying down, and to feel better with the eyes closed. If you are a frequent sufferer of dizziness or vertigo, join the group and find support.
I'm going to have a little fun with my situation. I'm going to list all the small, comical things that come with the package.......
1) Friends offering pointless advice based on one time when they got dizzy for 5 minutes. Get off your laptop and go for a walk! Lie down in a cool, quiet room! They make this handy stuff called Dramamine!
2) Requesting pink medical tape around your injection gauze to match your outfit (I have seriously done this).
3) The browsing history on your computer has the word vertigo in almost every search.
4) You could get food poisoning and not even notice.
5) You can walk just as well at night as in the day.
Feel free to pipe with some of your own!

"Just lay down and relax or do a puzzle" - gotta love that people truly just don't understand that my dizziness is all the time and "relaxing" is impossible!
"I bet you are just stressed, take a hot bath and some tylenol" - again, they just don't get it
Doctor told me this one "when is the last time you were outside, could be a lack of fresh air" - Haha, I was forced to go outside to get to the office so I don't know like 5 minutes ago, lol
