the sick, she is a drag

[quesarah]

I've had a virus of some kind since Tuesday evening, which is normally nothing remarkable. However, this one has sent my equilibrium completely off. I lean over to put on my socks and feel like I'm going to fall on my face. Yay.

I had a truly classic visit to the doctor today:

Doctor:(Feels sinuses)
Me: Ow.
Doctor: (feels lymph nodes)
Me: Ow.
Doctor: Yeah, you're sick.

I love her honesty.

Apparently, having congestion in one ear and a progressing infection in the other can cause a sensation of leaning to one side when walking, or of the room spinning. Who knew.

I got vertigo from some ear infection once and could not stand up without losing my balance and needing to barf. It was quite something.

feel better.

This is quite something. The antibiotics are helping, but walking has been an adventure.

Everyone I know is sick right now. Must be one of those computer viruses you hear so much about.

Sorry to hear you're feeling poorly. Hope it passes soon. Those damn sinuses will be the death of us!

The thing is, I know how to tough out the sinus troubles. It's the damn ear infection (and resulting vertigo) that's done me in!

Ah antibiotics, you are my friend. :)
