BPPV

...or in other words, vertigo.

Over the last few months, there have been occasions of unusual motion sickness and car sickness, but it's never lasted more than a day. Driving erratically caused it; other unknown reasons caused it. The next day was always better.

Severe nausea was never a symptom until this weekend- only dizziness. For the past three days, the only thing that's held the nausea at bay is sheer determination (I haven't thrown up yet). Nothing has prevented the dizziness.

It's the worst feeling in the world.

Web MD says that symptoms go away on their own (for some people) in a few weeks.

For the rest, just get used to it.

Neither of those are options when you have two busy children and a husband and household to watch over.

I suppose tomorrow means another trip to the doctor...
