    I know that isn't such a long time but I was having two, sometimes three, a week for a while. One week vertigo free! :)

    You should be very pleased with your gent results. Didn't you just have your first shot on Friday? IIRC.
    That's a pretty wonderful outcome for you. Many folks get worse for a bit after a gent injection.

    Hope your good luck continues.

    It's not like it was before. That's a good start. Take it easy and don't stress. Try to find out triggers.

    In the meantime...live and enjoy every spin free day!

    I stayed knocked out with valium today since I tok one when I felt an attack coming on. It lessened it and was able to sleep a good bit. My balance is off a bit from the gent shot and I didn't expect a quick fix. Making progress one day at a time.

    That's good news and a good perspective.
    Your body needs that's rest, don't fight it.
    Looking forward to your staying better everyday and see you posting in the other rooms.

    I'm holding steady too with my fingers crossed.

    It's sad that it feels so good to know someone in the same boat as I am.

    May it continue

    Another good day. Yesterday was a bit rough at the end but got up and good this morning. My husband took me out with him to run errands. Being cooped up in the house two days at a time with no way to go anywhere stinks but it's only temporarily.

    My husband had planned a fishing trip with friends for the first few days of May. There is no cell service where he is going and it's a good 2 hours away. His mom told him he doesn't need to go and stay with me. I want him to go but really want him here at the same time. He asked me tonight if I minded if he goes since I seem to be doing a lot better. *sigh* Don't know whether to be selfish and ask him to stay tell him to go.

    I think it's good that we DO know what we each are going through. It's sure hard to go it alone and as much as you try to explain to family and friends what's it is like, unless they've lived it they will never get it. I'll just say thank you all for understanding what it feels like and giving support.
     


  19. Is there anyone that you can stay with or maybe with you? Hope it works out for you.

    I think for both of you it would be good that he go fishing as planned. Don't let this thing take over all of your life. Don't stop living. If you can setup a friend or family member that is close by as a backup "if needed" you will be good. You may have a bit of vertigo - but you already know that those too will end, you will get through it. But as you said the attacks are already a bit less severe so you have made great progress. I think with a "in case" plan you will be fine - and believe that both of you will feel better after it because you took a step forward claiming your life back.
