i'm not usually the anxiety type, but i've been having vertigo since last wednesday. it's off and on every 2 days. last sunday, i ended up in the e.r. because of this, since the vertigo made me sick twice. it's the only symptom i have, and i'm only 35. i had a stroke on december 2005. that's why i'm terrified. since, i have no neurological symptoms for the docs to suspect this, i'm still terrified. the vertigo triggers memories of being a medical mystery for many months and not knowing if i was going to live or not. at least the meds work. as i was hit with the spinning sensation, i took my meds right away, so i'm waiting for them to kick in. i take no comfort that i'm ok. the world can be a brutal place to live in.
