Anxiety plays so much more of a role in my symptoms than I thought. Yesterday, the sun was out and I got outside in the yard for several hours. It was almost like there was nothing wrong...almost. Just being able to get a different mindset made so much of a difference.
True. The mind matters. An offshoot of what you said is to try and have something to look forward to. I got that from the book Mind Over Meniere's. Which is similar to hope, or "seeing light at the end of the tunnel." When I started considering a laby, and also, when my caloric test gave me insight into why I'm still dizzy, (i.e. another VNS would solve it). My mood and my dizziness have been better. Still up and down, but it seems better.
Glad you are feeling better. Today was a polar opposite from last Saturday. Was in the yard again all day, perfect 65 degrees and breezy. Moved about 50 forty pound bags of gravel and made that patio area my wife has wanted for a couple years. The light at the end of the tunnel analogy is good. But I’ve been riding these waves so long I can’t help but feel nervous when I’m on top, because the wave always breaks. I guess I should enjoy the flow and survive the ebb.
That LenseCrafters has a lot of nerve asking $425 for lenses. I got up and left. I went in there with boots that were specifically made for walkin', and I used them.
That David Bowie's different eyes were not caused by genetics or disease, like he used to say, but from an injury. http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2016/01/14/the_story_behind_david_bowie_s_unusual_eyes.html
