Falling Down

I have been falling down many times over the past week. When I was getting out of bed in the mornings and seems like I lost my balance. And like this morning when I took my dog outside to have him do his business. I fell over the ramp when I have no balance. Seems like it getting worse day by day with all the falls. Tomorrow I have 2nd round of inner ear injection and hope this time will help. It takes to get this to work for me. I heard some people who took the injections and it doesn't help them much just a short time and then went back to attacks again. It seems like I am having one of those like these people. It works for short time but it went back to where I was before.

I have been getting weird visual that something moved or something that wasn't there. I guess it just the way the brain is interrupted my vestibular system and it takes time to get the brain to get it right for what I am seeing. I have checked online for people who have experience it and sure enough I am not alone with this Meniere's Disease.

I am trying to find a way to reduce my stress level so it won't trigger the attacks. I just started learning how to knitting and it seems to help somewhat and sometimes when I knitting too much and/or seeing the color patterns I have to put it down and need to lay down to let this pass. I am trying to find a way that I can able to enjoy things that won't make me too sick with nausea and having vertigo attacks.

Well just pray that tomorrow will goes well with the injections.

Another Round of Injections

I have so many appts this month...I have another round of gentamyclin injection in my right inner ear on the 12th. Also another round of trigger point injection on my left shoulder/neck area on the 19th. I have been dizzy today during my ENT appt and been having the headaches since this morning. This is everyday battle for me to deal with the vertigo and balancing.
