I'm ILL!!!!

Had to break down and go to the doc Monday. All this weather we've been having has produced a bad sinus infection which went into my inner ear and I can't walk straight (cheap drunk), so I'm down for the count. Bedrest (with a little time on the computer - one cannot stay in bed all the time!), no driving (that's a given) and not much walking without something to hold on to.
I'm MISERABLE!!! And not a very good sick person. I can't even turn over in bed without the room spinning.
Did anyone ever try having a CH and try getting to the O2 with vertigo? Oh, that's fun with everything spinning around. Hope these meds kick in soon.
Anyhow that's how my life is going.....
Hugs BD

UGH. Take good care of yourself, Barb. Are you taking any decongestants? It may help to "dry up" all that fluid in your head.

Back in the 17XX the docs did prescribe 1 ONE glass of Cognac as a miraclecure for things like that 
No words on the size of the glass though 
Take care my friend

Barb,
Here's some vibes for a fast recovery... 
I'm a bad patient myself, so I knew how you feel about that. At least you have a great "excuse" to catch up with your online interests...
PF wishes,
Sanna

Before you step off the merry-go-round in the dark, move it closer Barb for this period of time, even an arm's reach from bedside, your butt can hit the ground teetering and tottering on your own.
well-wishing kisses Barbie

Hope you get feeling better soon, Barb. My sis inlaw had this on her daughter's wedding day and was in the hospital. They offered to take her to the church by ambulance but she could not do it. She was so upset!
After she got better the rental company offered at no charge the gowns and tuxedos for they could take pics of the bridal party with her mom in the photos.
You will get better, it just takes time.

If you try them together, you'll be so busy throwing up that you won't care if you have vertigo!
Vertigo sucks, I've had it once in my life and I was utterly miserable (and mine wasn't near about as bad as yours, I could still drive). I'm with Kevin_M on this one, move that damned tank closer to your bed!

Vertigo sucks big time! I had to have a permanant tube put in my ear because of it.
Give the meds a couple of days and you'll probably feel some improvement.

Vertigo is just plain nasty! Please take care of yourself and don't do anything silly - although the tequila doesn't sound like a bad idea!

I beg to differ......if you can get vertigo without paying for booze its a free ride an amusement park cant offer....LMMFAO
Seriously, I hope you feel better, Mom......if I was there I would rub your feet, I love you so much!

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

Barb, I am so sorry you have vertigo.
my husband had vertigo onset Chistmas day 2006
Went to hospital in ambulance. they tried all kinds of meds and the LAST one they gave him was plain old MECLIZINE. Thank goodness it worked...well enough so he could stand and I could get him home and it helped better than anything else in the long run.
I don't know what they have given you to take, but i thought I'd share the info.
PF's and less spinning things!

Aw, Barb, I'm sorry for the infection and all the other nasty garbage that came with it.
Hope you are on a heavy antibiotic that will knock the sucker out.
But, I'm with Rosy - tequila and lime. It's a natural antibiotic, or so I've been told
