What to do when you're spinning out of control?  Search me.  That's where I am now.  I'd love to be spinning some yarn, and even started to this weekend.  And after a good start, I fell asleep on the couch Sunday night and woke up in a spin...again.  Vertigo.  BAD.  Spent all day monday in vertigo/vomit city and finally gained a semblance of control by yesterday afternoon after a couple of doses of antibiotics and antivert meds.

So where have I been since the fall? Long story short: Dizziness, Doctor, ER, neurologist, hypothyroid, MRI, ER...  so far it all leans toward inner ear problems which have been exacerbated by a lingering sinus infection, and hypothyroid which may or may not be related.  The first 'big spin' sent me to the ER on New Years' Eve day in the ambulance, ugh.  Antibiotics didn't quite get the infection and it came back this weekend.  I was holding off to go to the ENT (please let this guy have answers for me...I'm at the end of my rope) this afternoon.  Glad my midwife wrote me a backup script for another round of antibiotics or I'd have ended up in the ER yet again this weekend when the second spin began.

I always seem to be on the edge of 'out of control' but this sent me over.  I had been making some positive progress, slow and steady...decluttering, sorting, shredding old papers, getting rid of baby clothes, emptying boxes, throwing out old, useless items, donating things.  I had plans of getting some painting and maintenance done on the house this winter, getting a jump on our taxes instead of doing it the last week of March.  Instead I am making at least one doctor visit per week, and now am making a long list of symptoms and issues to give to the ENT, with prayers that he will help me get to the bottom of this thing that's dragging me down.

Cross fingers that I can be spinning yarn again soon, instead of my world whorling around me...
