Goodness, the past few months have a been a roller coaster for me!
Vertigo Update
I finally ignored the doctors I’ve seen and took advice from some of you and other friends and booked in to see a chiropractor/physio…
Last Thursday I went for my first appointment and like many people have been saying, I do have crystals in the wrong part of my ears…. both ears… he said no wonder you’ve been unwell!
This is called Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo or BPPV and here is a video that explains it:
The Chiropractor did this maneuver with me twice last Thursday and sure enough, my eyes were going crazy like in the video above! He could see exactly when I started getting dizzy… it was quite interesting. He told me I’d probably need two more appointments, and before I left he warned me that I would feel “miserable” for the next two days… he wasn’t wrong!!
Yesterday I went back for the second session of treatment – he did it three times – there wasn’t as much dizziness during the procedure which is good news – it is working! Yay! I don’t feel as bad today as I did last week, but I am still under orders to rest so that I don’t agitate things and make it worse.
I go back for one last treatment on Friday. I am feeling quite confident that it will be the last one I need, and I am so thankful that we found out what was really going on. Thanks to all those who contacted me with this suggestion!!
The other good news is that if it happens again he will get me in asap for more treatment. Apparently it is quite common in middle aged women 🙂 And he had no answer as to why…..
Computer Woes
For the past two weeks I have been having trouble with my website hosting service blocking my ip address. We have changed it numerous times, but each time it gets blacklisted. When that happens I can’t get onto the backend of my blog or my emails… it has been pretty frustrating to say the least!
Once they whitelist it, it can take up to 2 to 24 hours for me to log in…. and then it gets flagged again…
I’ve been on countless chats with the host trying to solve this issue… and getting nowhere. They say it is my fault, I say it is theirs!!
So I’ve decided I’ve had enough for now and I am giving up……..
I will take a blogging break until this can get sorted because I can’t deal with the stress right now…
I will reply to emails as and when it works… and I’ll be back one day….
Till then, happy stitching!
Glad the treatments are helping. Take good care of yourself Joy! I hope you get your computer and website woes fixed soon! No fun!
Good luck with your treatments! Hopefully they will get you back to normal (whatever that is). Take care of yourself!
Pleased to her that you are getting on top of your vertigo – it’s amazing what a chiropractor can do!! (My daughter is one and her knowledge is incredible!) Good luck with sorting your website/computer woes…grrr can’t live with them can’t live without them!
I’m so glad that your problem was this one. Having been through it myself, while its very uncomfortable going the vertigo as least now you know what it is, that its treatable. I didn’t go to the chiropractor, but after finding out from my doctor about the crystals I looked it up online and found the solution. Once I learned what will prevent it I haven’t had the problem again. When I wake up in the morning I make sure that I turn on my left side and slowly get up from that side position. It gives those ‘crystals’ in my ears time to adjust and no problem — I’m good to go. I’d love to know why its middle age or older women it affects, but obviously it’s going to be one of those “it just IS” things we have to accept. Getting older is not for wusses! Take care, Joy!

I’m thrilled you seemed to have found a solution to your health problem, but sorry about your blog. I do hope it gets fixed. See ya later, Lord willing.
So glad the treatment is working… such a pity about the website nonsense… hope that gets sorted but probably a good idea for you to leave it for now till you feel a lot better….

Glad that treatment is working well as it did with me all those years ago. As for the……..i’net, mine is still playing stupid too, as other people are also saying with both blogs and emails. Just too much out there in the nether-nether (giggle). I’ll ring sometime this week and chat. Take care & hugs.
I have Meniere’s look it up. I do the Crystal at home. Once they showed me how to do it when I have a dizzy spell I do the procedure on our bed. Look it up on google to see how to do it at home
Also. If you have tinnitus, full filling in your ears and dizziness you should be tested for Menieres Disease.
I control mine with low salt and low sugar diets. Too much of either will bring on a spell. Weather also plays a part

Fingers are very firmly crossed that the chiropractor will help you. I remember when I first started going to mine for a back issue he said I’d feel worse for a couple days after the first treatment so I guess it’s common.
Hope you can get the internet issues sorted in your favour soon!
Good to hear you’re finally getting treatment for your vertigo. I just found out the other day that a good friend has the same problem. I’ll let her know what you’ve done – I know she’s on some kind of medication right now but it hasn’t completely done the job.
Good luck with your blog woes. Considering all the technology we have these day, you’d think it would be easy to fix.
It’s just never easy, is it? Keeping you in prayer.
Blessings
Oh Joy I’m so glad you’ve narrowed down the cause and are on track to get rid of this devastating dizziness. Thank goodness for chiropractors! Good grief on the blog issues – how could it be your fault? Sheesh. Take care of yourself, and hoping you get a new lease on life. 🙂
Glad the vertigo issues seem to be working out, sorry about your internet stuff though.
Perhaps you will get this message, perhaps not?
