Labyrinthitis can be a real pain. We were supposed to be taking M.I.L.
out for lunch today at a nice old hotel in Chepstow - and she's had to
retire to bed because she's so dizzy she can't even read a clock.

She's had a mass of medical help and they have it under control most
of the time, but there are days when the pills just don't work. She is
also going totally deaf in one ear, which is quote nice for her - she
can only hear half of her own gibberish - everyone else has to put up
with the lot..:-)

Fortunately mine seems to be totally stable. It doesn't come and go,
it is just as though the nerve from that ear had been cut. That allows
me to adjust to the missing sensory information, but that takes a long
time. I am, in many ways, glad it is this way rather than being a
recurring thing. One of the first things they say to you when talking
about recurring vertigo is "you *may* have to give up driving*. At
least that threat is off the table.

If you've never had real vertigo try this: Spin around until you are
so dizzy you fall over, then lie on the floor and try to imagine how
it would be if you were not just feeling like you were spinning out of
control, but tumbling in all three dimensions with no directional
references at all. I have great sympathy for anyone who sufferers the
intermittent attacks, having to deal with that level of vertigo over
and over would be totally miserable.
