Well, maybe not so drastic. I woke up feeling very dizzy yesterday morning. I have several conditions that could cause it, but didn't know what was. (Still don't) Didn't feel like I should be driving, though. I waited until Carl was done for the morning, and made him take me to my Dr., who opens at 9 AM. When I got there, their comment was, "your appointment was yesterday." I had completely forgotten. Carl said the dizziness was punishment for not making the appointment, so I would HAVE to go. He may have been right.
Even though the Dr wasn't particularly helpful.
They took my blood pressure, which was only slightly above normal, pretty good since - like my mom - I will spike it in the Dr's office. They couldn't take my blood sugar reading (????) because "they don't do that any more" (again ?????) But Carl and I had stopped at Walgreen's on the way there and found an inexpensive one that came with everything. When I tested at home, 4 hours after I had eaten, it was 118, which isn't too high OR too low. The Dr thought my allergies and sinus were causing a problem in my inner ears, but there was no sign of infection (in fact my allergies and sinuses were feeling better than they HAD been the week before). He also had me lean over to see if that made the dizziness worse, but it did not. Well. Hmmm. He sent me off to get my blood taken for bloodtests that I was due for. Carl took me home, and since by that time I wasn't feeling dizzy, I drove to get the blood taken, and then to work.
It was a wierd feeling.
It made for a strange day.
But today, I'm much more myself. I even remembered to blog BEFORE I turned of the computer. I also now have a blood sugar monitor that I have felt like I have needed for a while. Of course insurance didn't pay for it, nor will it buy the strips at a dollar a pop. Still, I have it now.

If you continue to have dizziness, check with your ear, nose, and throat specialist. I've had a couple of friends who suffered from vertigo and it turned out to be that the crystals in their ears were "misplaced". The ENT had them better in no time at all.
In the meantime though, it is not fun to be dizzy. I'm glad you're feeling better...
Okay, I have to say it. Cause, well I'm just like that. Dizzy Dina.... are you pregnant? (hahaha... this is paybacks for everyone who does that to me).
Hope you feel better. Keep away from the Peeps. The Peeps are not your friend.
So far so good, haven't felt dizzy any more. ENT would probably be my next step.
LOL, I'll remember that Dev, cause you ARE liked that. And, not that I know of. Also, I can keep away from the peeps without much problem, they are not a big temptation for me (although wrestling one away from Raine might be entertaining. Messy, but entertaining).
