i haven't been drinking
I got hit with a dizzy fit this morning, in that space between sleep and awake when you roll over and adjust your position to get comfortable and are juuuust starting to become aware that you are alive and a person once more. I rolled over and was tugged out of sleep by the feeling of the entire room spinning wildly. It was so intense that i remember thinking to myself that i needed to put one foot on the ground to make the spinning stop. After a short moment the dizziness subsided, and i slid back down into slumber without fully waking up.
Not long after, when i woke for the day and sat up to swing my feet over the edge of the bed - another wave of dizziness slammed into me. It was so strong that i stumbled as i stepped to the floor and had to grasp at the edge of the bed to keep myself from falling over. The entire world felt like it was spinning me around at a relentless speed. After a moment, the feeling again subsided, and i was able to make my way to the morning routine of letting the dogs out and brushing my teeth. Slowly, though - because the simple act of moving seemed to be completely willing to slam that feeling into me once again.
It continued throughout the day. I seemed to be ok if i wasn't moving, but the moment i did the dizziness was nearly overwhelming. Closing my eyes and turning my head was ridiculously difficult to get through. Laying down and closing my eyes seemed to allow the entire planet the freedom to toss me around in circles pell mell. All day it felt like i was completely drunk plastered dizzy - without being drunk or even having had any alcohol in my system.
I still feel it, but it seems to be lessening. I don't have to move as slowly to get from A to B - but i am still afraid to lay down and try and sleep for fear of being spun around like a rag doll in my head.
