@Crazy Hitch I'm so sorry. May you have a smooth recovery process.

Invisible illnesses suck...I had to have another conversation with my boss about how my current mystery physical health issues make it so I should not go on any of the overnight field trips (one of which I have been in charge of planning the past two years) next year. He has been extremely supportive with all of my health stuff, but he isn't always willing to sit with the tougher realities of a situation and sometimes dismisses the concerns (he is known for being overly optimistic).

In the past month, I've also had a couple of friends dismiss my bipolar disorder. When it comes to both my physical and mental health, you'd never guess I have issues with either based on how I look and interact with others-sometimes, this seems to interfere with people's ability to understand my suffering.

My pdoc did say he thinks I'll be okay stoping my meds for a couple of days so I can get the dizziness test done. I happen to see him the same week of the dizziness test so at least I have that set up if something goes south. I plan on making no plans the weekend before the test so I can relax and do my best to prevent/avoid triggers. I really need to know what's going on.
