Title: Severe dizziness
Post by: GROWLER on March 04, 2010, 11:26:49 PM
Felt really lousy last night. Extreme dizziness like I was totally bladdered, which I wasn't.

Did one of those self diagnostic online tests today to try and find out what caused it.
What a complete and utter waste of time. It came back with the answer that it'll probably be one of the following 165 reasons. eeek:

Me head's spinning again tonight.
It can go fuck itself anyway, as I don't actually 'do ill'. cussing:

Wot he said, get it looked at.

If it is any consolation, I think you can probably rule out any of the 165 that relate to low blood pressure.  ;)

Growler, I would suggest it is Labyrinthitis - symptoms sound just right.

Growler, that could be true. What is definitely true is that you are getting "extreme dizziness". FFS get it looked at

Thanks JOM, but it's a lot better today, so whatever it is/was seems to have nearly buggered off now.
A day in me 'ills will finish it off completely I feel.

As I say, I do actually know what the quack would say anyway ::)

Big Bad Growler is scared of doctors  point:

That is actually not far off the truth, truth be known.
Scared is a bit strong tbqath, but a very strong hatred and overwhelming desire to avoid any medical institution at virtually any cost is a fairly accurate assessment, yes.
Hospitals are an extreme no no to me. Nowt but bad sad and frightening experiences of them.

Are you losing weight but still eating normally? Are you thirsty a lot of the time? It could be diabetes (Type 2) as those plus sudden dizzy spells were my symptoms four years ago when the diagnosed me. Pop into Boots .... most larger branches will do a simple and very quick blood test (Just a finger prick) and give you an instant answer. If not pop in here when passing and I'll let you use my test kit. I have to check my blood sugar levels every day.

I've had my suspicions of exactly that several times now, but the tests say negative so far.

Not really losing weight though tbh...unfortunately, fat...ish bastard that I am. evil:
8 mile walk through the Clwydian 'ill's from the north side of Moel Arthur up to me own 'ill today. cloud9:
Bloody knackering though. ::)

With all this walking I'm doing I should be, mmmmm  rubschin:, 3 stone?
Good job I'm tall, and nearly always wear black. lol:
