Preserved Topic: sigh

checking in...
I havn't been around too much as I have been a bit "ill"
Today the doctor says I probably have Labyrinthitis. This causes me to be dizzy... in a bad way.. kinda like being sea-sick all the time. I can hardly walk or even drive a car.. all I can do is lay there and drool. cuz if I move.. so does my entire world. He has given me some "motion sickness" drugs to help, but there is really no known way of dealing with it.. i must let the infection run it's course.. which may take many weeks.

If it gets worse, I may need an MRi

I just thought I would share that with you all. Other than that I am still alive.

Hey! don't be depressed man!!
Maybe some magics black pills help?

What you can do while you cannot go out to kick some ass is to spend time here man!

we're with you!

wow... what a cool name

ya i am just starring at this monitor trying not to move my head at all.. thank god my bed is right next to the computer.. i can lay down and surf at the same time.. but thats all I can do.
To make matters worse.. I know no one here.. so I get no moral support LOL... I could make phone calls to friends back home.. but there is a 4 hour time difference and long distance costs (alaska to NY)

good to know others are on this board at this same time

I hope that you'll get well...

Not fun. Speedy recovery and just in case you haven't already.... here ya go! <bg>

thanks.. I have read a littile about it before.

The bottom line is...if you every get this.. or an inner ear infection... be afraid.. be very afraid. It totally sucks

Is like getting dunk, but without the drink.. your totally consious of your surroundings, which spin all about. Your only escape is to sleep, and you can only do that for so long.

Do you get that from seeing too much of David Bowie in tights?

"David Bowie in tights" ???

LOL ya lost me on this one....where is this going?

Hey doc, I just can't get this out of my head....

Yo, Human, drop me a line on ICQ. Perhaps you forgot there was another Alaskan here.

Bummer dude...hope things get better soon...but be aware that you are not alone...you got all us stark, raving mad loonies rooting for ya!

h23- there was a movie named 'Labyrinth' with David Bowie singing and dancing with a bunch of rejects from Fraggle Rock....

I liked that movie... But I did think David could have done without the tights; a guy that skinny really doesn't have much to show off....

Labyrinthitis... hmm... sounds a lot like Vertigo. Not a pleasant condition either way... Hope you get better man.

wow man that is really shitty. Hope you get well soon. . .

So if you don't mind telling us, what caused this. I read through some of the pages but it never really says what causes this.

I had a freind in college that was broad sided by another car. After a few weeks he started to get real bad dizzy spells. He was pretty much in the same situation as you. He couldn't move a lot because he would get sick to his stomache. One thing that he did do (and I am not a doctor and wouldn't recomend this) was to smoke a joint and just lay down and fall asleep. I doubt that a doctor would recommend this though.

Hope you get well soon.!!!

Thanks guys..

lol I never seen this "david Bowie movie" and from the sound of it.. I don't plan on anytime soon.

As far as the cause of it.. who knows... The Doc says it is a virus-type infection.. thats why I have no real medicine for it.. I have to let it run its course. If it was a bacteria-type, then I would have medicine. The problem now, as it stands, is, if it gets worse I have to go in for an MRI... sometimes this condition is caused by a tumor that grows in the "Labyrinth" part of the ear. I just pray its no tumor.. I don't have that kind of cash to undergo the surgery.

anyway.. I suppose I shall crawl to the couch and watch TV.

Witherin.. I have not installed ICQ since my last "format c:\" so I'll do that in a bit.. it'll give me something to do for a minute hehe
