Amy Lu's View

I missed my second day of 50 Days of Amy because I had a case of vertigo last night. No blogging for me, as I had to go to bed ASAP–even (slightly) before 10:00!

For me, vertigo isn’t related to heights or Hitchcock, but is basically really bad, ongoing bed spins that seem to hit out of nowhere, without the fun of earning them through drinking. Vertigo makes it hard for me to walk without falling and makes me slightly nauseous. My case is similar to  Louise 2’s from “Arrested Development” (and much less severe).

Let me assure everyone that my vertigo is NOTHING SERIOUS and not related to any other problematic medical condition. I know this because I did see a doctor when it first hit almost three years ago, when I did panic and think I had a brain tumor or something. It’s an inner ear thing.

Luckily, after the first few original “attacks” (so dramatic!) my vertigo went away. I think it’s back now because I’ve had a low-level cold/allergies/sinus gnomes? for the past couple of weeks that are messing with my sinuses. I’ve had three instances in the last week or so, and hope it will once again miracuously disappear. But I do have  (expired) medication (which I barely needed and can hopefully get refilled) and Physical Therapy exercises (which I’ve lost the instructions for but can hopefully find) if needed.

But the main takeaway is that my blogging streak is already thrown off! However, I’m not going to count this as a failure, due to extenuating circumstances. I will not be deterred or discouraged.

AND I have learned that I can backdate posts! I will try not to abuse this power, but it makes me feel more like I’m adhering to the rules of my blogging streak if I can have posts with the “correct” date.

Onward with 50 Days of Amy, and hoping that from here on out, the only things that make my head spin are alcohol or love!
