Jerry...LOL! Thanks for the chuckle Reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a coworker accidentally sent an email to our boss, when he/she meant to send it to me...it was complaining about the boss. He/she quickly ran into my office asking how to recall a message. So, I distracted the boss while she ran into his office and deleted the email...I still chuckle over that one.

Just got back from doctors this morning. Vertigo is gone now, thank goodness and I talked to my dad at the hospital. He did not have a heart attack, but was very close to it, got him there in time, on meds, blood pressure going down and he is still going through tests to see if it effected his heart. So, good news on all that.

Debbie great news. Keep an eye on that vertigo, my uncle developed vertigo problems and he was flat on his back for quite a few years before it was resolved. They could never figure out what his problem was, which made curing it, all the more difficult.

Below are some actual quotes by doctors doing actual dictation on patients' records (with some comments by me). Could YOUR doctor sound like these? This is really scary! If I have to go to the emergency room and hear my doctor dictating like some of these, I'm going to RUN!!!

Cecil, I was just a my regular MD today for a follow up on the vertigo. I ended up in the ER when it started on Saturday. I feel better now, but was a bit frustrated as none of the doctors know what caused it! I have never had it, but they claim it to be quite common, really stange and scary. I plan on keeping the meds with me when I travel or just with me for anytime it may decide to rear it's ugly self again. Some folks have only gotten it once and never again. I hope I am one of those. I feel for your uncle. The meds at least enabled me to be able to walk around, made me tired, not able to drive, but it was better than spinning and spinning out of control in my head!

Debbie - so happy to hear your vertigo is gone - do you still have to stay on med's? And very happy to hear about your Dad.

Hello, everyone. So glad to be back from vacation. I missed "talking" with everyone daily. Glad your vertigo is improving, Debbie. Watch out for those patches, though. They can be addicting. Had a friend who had a heck of time getting off them!
|
By Debbie Babcock (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #4075) on Tuesday, August 8, 2006 - 1:13 pm: |
Hi Judy, Nope, no meds today for the first day. Doc said to just keep aware of any dizziness for the rest of the week as it is still there, but on its way out. I am keeping them near, just in case.

Jerry, thank you so much for the laughs, they were much needed! Debbie, hope your Vertigo stays away. Had a very short bout of it once while in Bonaire, very scary!

I've experienced vertigo a few times. It happens while ascending if one ear clears and the other does not (reverse block). It is the weirdest feeling all of a sudden the world is spinning, I call it instant sea sickness. With a reverse block it clears as quickly as it occurs, which can not be quick enough.

Debbie, there is a patch containing an anti-nauseau drug or something that was often prescribed for severe cases of vertigo that just wouldn't go away. Not sure if it contained an antihistamine. The med is fairly addictive apparently so perhaps they have quit prescribing it.
|
By Debbie Babcock (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #4080) on Wednesday, August 9, 2006 - 3:48 pm: |
Ohhh... I get it now! Nope, didn't have that. The nauseau stuff had to be put in an IV to me as nothing would stay down, then after that, I was able to take the dizzy pills as they come only in pill form. You would think that with all this modern technology, they could figure a way to make that pill be liquid and then I could have had instant relief! You know, a shot in the butt, and that would be that! LOL!
