Since the vertigo started- back last November and then hit me really hard after a bad migraine this spring the vertigo has been a nightmare. I've been thru Vestibular Rehab for it and no prevail.

I'm taking a low dose of Valium for balance- as needed. Balcofen for muscle spasticity/? Walking is a nightmare. Everyday I wake up and hope my body will cooperate. Normally it doesn't. It goes in spurts of bad days/weeks to a few good days then relapse again.

I felt good for the last few days- with resting in periods; some vertigo/gait problems. So I was hoping to wake up feeling the same today knowing I could clean the house/vaccuum/kitchen floors- basic stuff. Nope. Luckily I cooked a lot of various meats for crockpot meals the rest of the week.

When I woke up at 5:30 to take the dog potty I kept falling backwards onto the bed. Went back to bed an hour later got back up to help kids off to school. That did not go well. I kept walking side-ways, running into walls/doors/anything in the way- so unbalanced that I was petrified.

After everyone went on their day I ate a bowl of cereal (low salt) and drank some water. Still felt horrid- infact- worse. Went to bed for another few hours and then realized that I had to cancel appts. No driving today! grr

Ate some lunch, which lately, my stomach can only tolerate very few foods. Stupid- I ate a bowl of chilli!!! DUMB!!! Almost puked for an hour afterwards- felt so sick to my stomach/nausea. Doubt I will eat much of anything tonight. Not used to eating heavy foods let alone anything with spice. Too much.

Had to go lay back down again after I did some light housekeeping/laundry.

Laid on couch most of afternoon. Is this normal?
