Every so often I get vertigo attacks. Can't stand up from lying down without the room spinning. At bedtime it takes me a while to get settled because the bed is spinning. Especially if I just plop myself down. So I prop myself half-sitting/half-lying and gradually put myself in lying position.
I know it probably has alot to do with my ears. They've been ringing and itchy lately, too. The spinning comes and goes, but ALWAYS in December! :doh:

Oh...I was gonna say it happens in pregnancy :D Something you wanna tell us? ;)

I would get your ears and head checked out. My neighbor had the problem and just had surgery to remove a tumor from right above her ear. Benign but a tumor nonetheless. Go...
What are you waiting for?

TUMOR?? :blink: Well, I certainly hope it's nothing like that!! :faint: Give a lady a scare, why don't ya? :gotcha:

No, I don't think it's that extreme. My ears have always given me problems for as long as I can remember. Just something I've gotta live with, I guess. :dunno:

I'm just griping here....

Well, wit em big dumbo ears of Lena's.. is anyone really surprised? :P

:rollseyes: Nice try, punk.

Nah, I'm leaning (no pun here) more towards Meniere's Disease. I relate to other people's stories when they talk about their MD. My ears scream at me. Sometimes at night, I'll wake up to what sounds like somebody shaking a plastic bag in my ear. :blink:
Today I'm feeling much better. Not so dizzy.

Get it checked out!!!!

Yes, MA! :tease:

From what I've read, getting a check-up from the eye doctor might be a good idea. They can tell by the eyes if there's a possible underlying problem. Especially if it's in the brain. Then if/when I get all cleared, I'll come back in my best Arnold Schwarznegger voice: "It's not a TUMAH!" <~ Kindergarten Cop. :happy:

Nah, really, after all I'm reading on tumors I don't have ANY symptoms like that! Heck, I never even :puke: unless I have a bad flu bug. Headaches for me are also rare. Unless I'm so stressed or sore, tension headache....

Getting tested for Meniere's sounds exciting. Walking in the dark, (:yikes: I'm not good with that!) on a balance platform, shooting warm and cold water in the ears, audiology test (which I'm way overdue for anyway) and some meds to control the spinning. Possibly a low sodium diet, too. Depends on how much my intake is now. :dunno:

I am researching my "symptoms" so I know what I'm going to my GP for. :P

So no more lectures! I just want your pity! :cheeky:

Sympathy? :umno:


j/k

I'm sorry...but I would get it checked out.
