Stayed home sick with a major attack of vertigo this morning. It's gone now, thank goodness, or I would still be on my back in bed.
What I want to say:
a) Don't panic. This is familiar, if very infrequent. (It's often associated with migraines, but I didn't get one today.)
b) Don't feel guilty. I have no fever, no other sick symptoms.
c) It might have something to do with my neck and shoulder pain. I am calling a massage therapist as soon as I sign off.
d) Just for fun: it's not the lightheadedness kind of vertigo, but the heavy-headed sensation, of being pulled at an angle toward the floor.
e) Did you know that there's also a form of vertigo where it feels like you're stable but other objects around you are moving (when they're not -- otherwise, it'd be motion sickness)? I didn't!
