What a horrible day yesterday was! The weather was, apparently, warm and sunny - just the sort of day to be outside enjoying nature. I was inside - until my husband took me to casualty.
I've never had vertigo before and I don't want it again. The feeling of dizziness began when I got up to visit the bathroom during the night. I made it back upstairs to bed and slept well. In the morning I sat up and immediately my head began to 'swim'. I clung to the bannisters to get downstairs to the bathroom and then sat in there for an hour before I could bear to try to get to a chair in the dining room.
Every movement brought giddiness and nausea. At the hospital I was given tablets and an injection to stop the nausea and sent home with seasickness tablets!! Today I'm still a bit dizzy, and unsteady, but the worst has gone and the tablets are working well, thank goodness. I don't intend to drive until I'm completely recovered - but now I can not only sympathise but empathise with others who suffer from this horrid complaint.
