Goodness, the past few months have a been a roller coaster for me!
Vertigo Update
I finally ignored the doctors I've seen and took advice from some of you and other friends and booked in to see a chiropractor/physio...
Last Thursday I went for my first appointment and like many people have been saying, I do have crystals in the wrong part of my ears.... both ears... he said no wonder you've been unwell!
This is called Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo or BPPV and here is a video that explains it:
The Chiropractor did this maneuver with me twice last Thursday and sure enough, my eyes were going crazy like in the video above! He could see exactly when I started getting dizzy... it was quite interesting. He told me I'd probably need two more appointments, and before I left he warned me that I would feel "miserable" for the next two days... he wasn't wrong!!
Yesterday I went back for the second session of treatment - he did it three times - there wasn't as much dizziness during the procedure which is good news - it is working! Yay! I don't feel as bad today as I did last week, but I am still under orders to rest so that I don't agitate things and make it worse.
I go back for one last treatment on Friday. I am feeling quite confident that it will be the last one I need, and I am so thankful that we found out what was really going on. Thanks to all those who contacted me with this suggestion!!
The other good news is that if it happens again he will get me in asap for more treatment. Apparently it is quite common in middle aged women 🙂 And he had no answer as to why.....
Computer Woes
For the past two weeks I have been having trouble with my website hosting service blocking my ip address. We have changed it numerous times, but each time it gets blacklisted. When that happens I can't get onto the backend of my blog or my emails... it has been pretty frustrating to say the least!
Once they whitelist it, it can take up to 2 to 24 hours for me to log in.... and then it gets flagged again...
I've been on countless chats with the host trying to solve this issue... and getting nowhere. They say it is my fault, I say it is theirs!!
So I've decided I've had enough for now and I am giving up........
I will take a blogging break until this can get sorted because I can't deal with the stress right now...
I will reply to emails as and when it works... and I'll be back one day....
Till then, happy stitching!
