Health Update

Went to see the doc yesterday to find out what's causing my vertigo. Basically, he doesn't know because it could be a number of things-- upper respiratory infection, atmospheric pressure changes, inner ear nerve damage, fluid build up, virus-- pick one. He checked my ears and said they looked alright to him, meaning he didn't see any fluid in the inner ear.

The only thing he told me I could do was try to reset my equilibrium thermostat by reproducing the vertigo episodes. It sounds kinda weird, but he insists that it works. I'm to do this by sitting on the side of the bed and turning my head quickly to either side and then up. I haven't done this yet. Maybe this afternoon. Wish me luck!
