Erin, I hope your vertigo has settled. From reading this thread, it seems to have gotten better. At least, that is my hope for you.

AMN - I quoted you just because since having MS, I read things wrong. Can't quite explain it but I see a different word.

I had to say something to you on this thread because when you said "I take high doses of Meclazine," I saw the word "Mescaline." The hallucenogenic(sp) drug. I had to laugh thinking, no wonder she is dizzy!

Erin - I use my cane for vertigo too. Good idea. And if nothing else, people realize you're not drinking.

Aarcyn - LOL! I saw mescaline too.
