Only yesturday my dear sweet mother in law called round (she never asks any more how the dizzies) but for a change did. I briefly said well usual and she said.....well of course my uncle he had the same thing you know and it was mis-diagnosed for over a year........turned out it was all stress. then give me that pitying look!!  I was thinking - yeh i know what you are getting at!!
Then theres the others - oh yeh - dizzyness oh yeh i have had that! and I think BET you have soooooooo not!! its more than a brief sensation...as you all know to well.
AHHHRUGHHHH 
I know this whole long winded affair is pretty boring for most who have never had it but boy I would so like to give them it for a week they would run back to me saying OH NOOOOO HELP!!
Ok thats the vent over!  |
yes, I can relate. I mentioned in a previous thread how I tried to relate my condition to someone by saying it was kind of like having one too many drinks without any of the "fun" effects of alcohol. They replied, "cool! That's a cheap date!" Now, they were joking but it gets old after that joke is played out over and over.
I also had my kid's irritable swimming instructor claim she too had the same condition when I told her I couldn't swim with the kids and wondered if I could have her continue their lessons even though the season ended. (that makes a lot of sense
swim instructor, not a chance, not in a pool all day!)
Sorry your mother in law was so insensitive. It's almost better not to discuss it sometimes, but then people might wonder why you are such a pill when you have a bad day! My second attack that started in June came on right before my inlaws visited. They were ok about it (at the time I had no idea what was going on and I was SO sick
), but I still felt like I was on the examination table or something. I felt so obligated to entertain them and try to go about my business, but meanwhile I was in the worst part of my troubles. Plus I already had a reputation of being sick whenever they visited (what's up with that?
). My husband jokes that I should just admit it, his parents brought on the vertigo!
I hope you get some better support soon, I know how nice it is to have a little sympathy instead of judgement!
