vertigo + saturday 10.

Vertigo (from the Latin vertigin-, vertigo, "dizziness," originally "a whirling or spinning movement," from vertere "to turn"[1]) is a specific type of dizziness, a major symptom of a balance disorder. It is the sensation of spinning or swaying while the body is actually stationary with respect to the surroundings.

I woke up thursday morning and showered. I remember being a little unsteady during my shower, but attributed that to being tired. I don't remember the next part, but according to J., I couldn't get dressed. he said I stumbled around until he got up to help me, and then I knocked all of my jewelry off of my nighstand. after sleeping a good 8 hours, I went back to bed and slept from 7:30 am until 3:00 pm. ate, then back to bed until 9 pm. ate, then slept from 11 pm until 7 am friday morning.

after walking into some walls at work and spilling my diet coke at lunch, I decided to go to the doctor. he attributed it to vertigo, and after running some tests [I did the walk and turn, just like my defendants!] he sent me home. I felt great today, until a few hours after my run. the spinning/ uneasy/ 'off' / clumsy feeling returned. I got OTC medicine at the pharmacy, and that seems to help. what a pita.

[it doesn't seem to be harming my training though, which is good.]
