My face shows what i feel and its an annoying thing, believe me! A mask is much better but lorena very few ppl care enough to want to peek behind your mask, those who do are your freinds.<BR/><BR/>M- and you get ten goodness points for saying that, my child!! i want to overcome my weaknesses and belive me, i have quite a few. ;) <BR/><BR/>PV- thanks! sometimes my mind does come up with something sensible. :) Everytime i talk to somebody, i end up listening to their problems and i feel so bitchy complaining about mine. My dad's uncle and his wife were here last week and his wife had this strangely wonderful way of laughing at every problem. then one day, she, my mum and another aunty were sitting together talking about their problems and laughing after a lil bit of tittering. watching them made me realise that their laughter is their way of coping with what they cannot change. they might not seem like sages but this one thing about them is something i want to learn, deeply.<BR/><BR/>Deewani- When i wish i am another, it is because i get so disgusted by myself and that is when i wish i was somebody else, wiser and stronger. no sense in that! :)<BR/>you don't blog much, so i don't get to ask you this, i really hope life is treating you better now? <BR/><BR/>Russell- thanks you are quite a teacher, an inherent teacher! i'm going to try and follow your plan...and maybe get a nibble of a choclate too. :)<BR/><BR/>lazydad- Hey that was so sweet of you!! please do come again!! also leave a link to your blog, so that i can visit yours too. :)<BR/><BR/>Mitzee- that line if it works for your freind will have justified its existence in space. :) thanks! :)<BR/><BR/>Lynn- yes i know about positional vertigo, my dad had it two years back when we had gone to kashmir for a holiday. the problem started almost as soon as we got there. when we came back, the doctors suspected something worse, did an mri of his brain but it turned out the be positional vertigo. he would also feel it when he rolled over but the dr here gave him lots of drugs but no exercise. initally, i thought i had this but my problem is of a far smaller magnitude. in any case seeing me lie in the bed for two days made my mother actually sick and she started complaing of not feeling well, which in turn makes me get up. thanks so much though! :)<BR/><BR/>nasra- sometimes my faith is not very strong, i'm ashamed to admit it though but i talk such crap, saying stuff like he doesnt care and such. hope he forgives me.<BR/><BR/>Santa- actually you are right but i am not a grumpy person. in fact i smile a lot. :)<BR/><BR/>Nurse Mia- ah a nurse just when am feeling unwell, god has sent you my way! :) thanks for coming by please come again.:)<BR/><BR/>Khakra- thank you so much for all this information, it was very thoughtful and kind of you! the dr told me its proably due to some allergy/cold. i have a slightly deviated septum which gives me sinus like symtoms in the morning. he did not mention labyrinthitis. i will ask him about it when i go to him after a week. he is an ent. he did a few audiometry tests to test my hearing which was normal, so thank god. he has told me to inhale steam twice a day, which i dont do as its irritating. gave me an anti-allergen and another drug, which i'm going to fing out if its a steroid, am hoping its not. <BR/><BR/>the only time that i would not mind being dizzy will have nothing to do with medical problems. :)<BR/><BR/>.:A:. - i am feeling much better now, thanks! :)gulnazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04303326222747011474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11421541.post-1125135152365326372005-08-27T15:02:00.000+05:302005-08-27T15:02:00.000+05:30Gulnaz, with a talent with words like yours, you s...Gulnaz, with a talent with words like yours, you still want to be someone else?

So I went to the ENT (Otolaryngologist) and here is what I went through:<BR/><BR/>1) Tried to rule out allergies -- ear jams up if you have many colds, coughs etc. Ears, nose and throat are all connected, so if anyone is jammed, it could jam the ear as well. I started two anti-allergents, both steroid based, which had so many side effects that I stopped it. If it isn't that, it could be labyrinthitis: which leads to point 2<BR/><BR/>2) Labyrinthitis is excessive fluid inside the inner ear that sends random signals to the brain, which leads to dizziness. Nausea could be a labyrinthitis symptom, but of course, I'm not a doc, so only a doc will be able to certify that. This stuff goes away over a period of time, or based on hearing tests and inner ear and vestibular testing. Inner ear fluid flows cannot be found by the usual ear inspection devices that doctors use, as its deep inside the ear. go to webmd -dot- com and type in labyrinthitis. it's got great info about the tests, exams, diagnosis etc. <BR/><BR/>There's a battery of tests that need to be done, so the quicker you get them done the better. Did your doc mention labyrinthitis? Of course, there could be other reasons. The doc knows best. Trying to help out here. <BR/><BR/>But remember: every person gets dizzy atleast once in a lifetime!!Khakrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09559997953141681575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11421541.post-1125132270710329012005-08-27T14:14:00.000+05:302005-08-27T14:14:00.000+05:30I like your comment about how wishing you were som...I like your comment about how wishing you were someone else would just be trading problems.
