Deep Thoughts:On the Mend
I think, think I might be better. The vertigo that has plagued me for the last week and a half has really drained me. I basically spent the last 2 days sleeping. With four kids that is an amazing feat and Aaron deserves a great big medal for making it possible.
Though out this time I have puzzled over what caused it because if I knew the cause I could just do the opposite and be better. I think I basically decided that sometimes people just get sick.
So in case one of you ever has vertigo, here is what I did:
- Chiropractic Adjustment
- Ibuprofen
- Zyrtec
- Epley Maneuver
- Dramamine
- Neti Pot
- Sleep, Sleep, Sleep
- Water, Water, Water
With all those different things it might be safe to assume that I would still feel better today even if I hadn't done all those things. Honestly the things that seemed to help the most are the Dramamine, Neti Pot and Sleep.
I look forward to resuming by blog schedule this week.

Dear Lauren, I am so sorry to hear you had vergigo- somehow, it is just the worst.
I have a question: do you ever get migraines? Sometimes, they manifest in odd ways. When I get a true migraine (tunnel vision with sparkles, etc.) for about a week afterward, I have dizziness, vertigo, and nauseau as my body recovers from the migraine- because they are neurological.
In my experience when I suffer from something like this, only rest and hot baths with lavender do a darn thing. And Andy's massages. Time is the true healer though.
I am glad you're feeling better!!
So glad you are better! Waas this the first bout with vertigo?
