Well I'm sitting here at my desk in my office with my head spinning.  I've been out of work practically all week.  Apparently an inner ear virus/vertigo is going around.  I'm on medication am felt pretty good this morning but holy mamma...not so much now.  And I would feel horrible if I leave early...plus how the hell would I be able to drive home.

Doctor gave me steroids to get help drain the fluid from behind my ears and Zyrtac D. 

Anyone else ever have this?

@SoontobeMrsA: Yay...I was so bored at home that I was actually looking forward to coming to work today and now I'm not so sure.

@kitzy: Thanks, I appreciate it.  Has not been fun.  They thought i might have viral meningitis at first from my symptoms.  Thank god it wasn't.

Ugh, I just got over having Vertigo!  It was awful, I couldn't bend my head down or back without the room spinning.  I must have looked drunk for a week, because I couldn't walk straight!  Driving was definitely not safe.

It took me about 2 weeks to get rid of it.  My doctor gave me a steroid nose spray and pills to help balance out my inner ear.  They didn't really work!  I'm glad I don't get motion sick... I would have been way more miserable.  Hope you're feeling better soon!

@Blueshoes2: Did ANYTHING help you?

@stephinPA: Sitting still was the only way that I found relief.  It was really frustrating!  I wasn't dizzy when I was laying down, so I did a lot of that too.   They even did blood work to make sure I wasn't anemic or deficient in a vitamin, but I was fine.  I feel for you.  Just hang in there!  It will slowly start to get less and less intense... and then it goes away.

@Blueshoes2: urgh.  Okay. I do agree, though, that laying down was the best position for not feeling like I'm spinning in circles. 

@stephinPA:  You could try taking a decongestant like isilme recommended.  I couldn't take one because they make my heart rate go nuts... but maybe it could help you?
