Hey Ilia!

Hi Ilia,

Watched a show on TV the other night on BBC America about a couple looking to buy a house in Scotland (they were looking within an hour commute of Edinburgh) and thought of you!! Is your house a stone house? Looks like that's all they had to pick from in that area. How cool. That's one of the bummer things about the States -- everything's too new, so no really historic looking places like stone houses.

How are things in your hopefully dizzy-free world?

Terri

Hi Terri!!

Back on the boards again after not being able to get on line over the weekend...rahhhhh.

Wow isn't that funny that you saw a programme about buying a house in Edinburgh! I was at universtity there and so live right in Edinburgh for the best part of 3 years. I live 3 hours drive away now (North) and yes my house was built in 1898 so is stone with lots of character which I love. Saying that I do like new houses too which is just as well as we make our living doing just that!

We went to Maryland (US) for a visit to all the show homes and get some ideas for back here in the UK - the houses were really beautiful! but you know thats when this whole labs mess started for me. I have not flown since and been abroda just once (drove!!) to euro disnet with the kids! May very well have to do that again this year as I am sooooo desperate for a holiday.

I am doing ok on the dizzy front. I am quite up and down, so I feel pretty good - its there but v mild for a week or so and the I get the symptoms storonger for a few days and then back to good. heck i wish it would just stick in good and be done with it.

May I ask, when you say that you are 98% whats the 2% symptoms? I also read that you go for massive walks! may I ask do you feel a bit off when you sit down after a long wlak like that? like slight feeling of motion.

Thanks Ilia xxxxxxxx

ps so cool that you thought of me!!

Re: Hey Ilia!

Ilia,

I'm jealous of your historic, stone house. My house was built in 1910, old for my city's standards, but it's made of wood, so doesn't quite have the same appeal as structures in the UK. So are you and your husband realtors or builders? Or something related?

I do do long walks, but mostly shorter ones like 3-4 miles (around 5 kilometers, plus a little more). While I was training for the 21k race I did yesterday I'd have one day a week, usually Sunday, where I walked 12-15k. I didn't feel any real residual dizziness yesterday after I was finished with the race, or I should qualify that to say that I didn't feel anything that I wouldn't normally feel after such physical exertion before VH (vestibular hell).

As far as the 2% goes, I would say it's just a sensation where for the majority of the day I'm 100%, but then there's parts of the day where I just feel a little floaty or have these very slight movement sensations. That's why I asked Subs under that thread today if he had that "looking over the shoulder" sensation. That's what I call it, because sometimes I wonder if the 2% isn't mental because I find myself feeling really good and then any little sensation is like "is that it??" So who knows. I'm beginning to think that I just need to get enough 100% days in a row and then I won't think about every little feeling anymore. I keep telling myself, knock it off, you felt like that when you did such and such before this stuff!!

Hope that helps! I wish you a well-deserved holiday soon.

Terri

Re: Hey Ilia!

Hi Terri,
I know that looking over your shoulder feeling. I have had over 6 virtually symptom-free weeks, am sleeping much better, anxiety level at night seems to have just about vanished, yet there are times during the day,usually when I'm relaxed or not so busy, when I think, hey, am I getting imbalance, or what? Like you, though, I think at this stage, it's as much in the mind, sort of lack of confidence in ourselves that we really are beating this thing. I'm sure there will be setbacks, but at least I know that they're shortlived - hopefully.
