I suffer from hydrops, or a form of Menière's disease. It usually manifests itself in the form of spinning vertigo, sometimes ferociously and sometimes mild and transitory. This morning I woke up and felt like someone had shifted gravity to the left... the world isn't spinning, but it's like I'm in one of them "mystery spots" where everything falls funny. I keep running into the left wall. Very odd. I just did the FACE test for strokes on myself, just to be sure, but I'm fine that way. Just a little off-kilter.

Hmm. Are there any other symptoms? I've been dealing with varying degrees of vertigo for a few days. It seems finally to have settled down today.

I have nothing constructive to add, but *squish*.

I'm not familiar with Menière's disease but I experienced similar loss of equilibrium a few years ago due to an ear infection. It truly felt like the ground had shifted. You have my sympathy Old Wolf (can't abbreviate your initials to OW, can I?).

I like the emoticon! LOL

Maybe you need to ask the giraffe to move to the right side of your head? =^.~=

I am glad it is you with this Old Wolf. I would not want to se McClaw off Kilter...
