rebecky_moBenign Positional Vertigo, actually.
That's what the Clinic doctor said is wrong with me, and it sure as hell makes sense with what I'm feeling...Basically, there's these little canals of fluid near our ear that tells our brain when our head changes position. When the liquid gets outta whack, it tells the brain the head is moving, even when it's not. Thus creating the feeling of a spinning room, or vertigo, along with nausea/vomiting that is caused by the vertigo. He was rather impressed with how much research I did on my symptoms when I mentioned vertigo, inner ear problems, and possible dehydration as possible issues. *puffs her chest a bit*
Good news is, it's not permanent, and it'll go away on it's own (though it may come back, guess it's one of those things where if you get it once, it's easier to get again). I have a perscription to help with the symptoms until then, and I'll need to keep downing liquids, even with the nausea.
Bad news is, it could take days, or even WEEKS for it to go away. D= Bummer. I'll have to call into work tommorrow; I'm supposed to work 8 hours tommorrow, but no WAY will I manage that long like this. Maybe 4-hour shifts, but not a full-day.
...This WOULD happen just as my higher-seniors at work are going off on vacation, and I get more shifts. Damn you Murphy's Law.... xD;;
