Spinning Again, Dangit

20
Aug

Well, for the last couple of days I’ve had some off-balance feelings again. This has been accompanied by pain in my left ear (mostly yesterday). Odd enough, the pain was only noticeable when I opened my mouth.

(I suppose that means that I should just keep my trap shut and quit eating, right?) Anyway, today my ear isn’t hurting as badly, but my neck feels like it is going into spasm, also on the left side. I keep getting this sharp jabbing pain in that chord of muscles about 1-2 inches under my ear, especially when I move my head in certain directions.

The dizziness isn’t as pronounced as I have felt in the past, but it’s more like a noticeable shadow of a spin. If I concentrate hard on something for a while on my computer screen then look up suddenly, I can definitely feel my stomach pitch a little bit.

I think I’ve had enough of doctors for a while. I’m going to continue just pushing through this for a while to see if it will go away. I’m certainly ready to be done with this. Let’s see, since May 5 — that makes it 16 weeks that I’ve been doing this, off and on.
