How 'bout that?

So yesterday I had a very weird and disconcerting experience. I was dizzy all day. I woke up and got out of bed and almost fell to the floor. Also while I was trying to get dressed. And everytime I turned around semi-quickly. And looking up after looking down for a few seconds. This was really annoying in class when I was trying to hand back papers, read a test, grade the same test, read journals, and anything else having to do with teaching. But it didn't stop there. Oh no. All day the dizziness continued. I thought I was going to die. Or that maybe, after all, I was pregnant. So I broke my rule. I called a doctor's office. I generally try not to go to the doctor unless I think I am near death. And this didn't quite qualify because I just called the doctor's office. And I talked to a nurse for a few minutes. She thought it was really strange too, since I don't have a headcold, am not congested and have had an earache only once in my life when I was five. That was a while ago, so it didn't seem to have anything to do with this.

She suggested I get my blood pressure checked in case I was having a stroke. I tried but couldn't find a nurse. She also suggested maybe taking a decongestant, in case it was a cold induced thing.

So instead of those things I went home and laid on the couch for a while and read and went to bed early. And today I'm not dizzy. It's a wonderful feeling. I woke up this morning and was fully expecting to fall when I tried to get up, but I didn't, and I haven't and I hope to never experience something like that again. So yeah. Halelujah.

I've had so many weird and random health problems, maybe this will become one of the weird recurring ones. Since I haven't had the cysts since March maybe my body came up with something to replace them. I might prefer the dizziness to the cysts. At least it's not mind numbing pain.
