Wow! That's a lot to deal with. I would've ended with a beer, too! My husband has bouts of vertigo periodically, and it's scary. It's hard to tell what brings it on, although I think sometimes it's the change in the air--sometimes if it rains and we sleep with the window cracked, he wakes up with vertigo, especially if he sleeps on his side. I'm glad everything turned out OK. contemplator´s last blog post - Grade Bailouts

Nothing throws you like a loved one in trouble does. My wife passed out cold a couple of weeks ago and I probably didn’t sleep for the next 2 days. She seems all right now, but one still has to wonder wth happened.

I don’t do the drink in such times (what they say about my kind and alcohol is largely true,) so I crack open the blues. I listen to the drunken tales of others and live vicariously

Wow! Glad everyone is back to “normal” My oldest son had the chicken pox when he was a baby, so no need to vaccinate (they did not even make it mandatory until he was already in school anyway). But I fought the school over the right NOT to have my younger son vaccinated for it. It is Chicken Pox for goodness sake! We all went thru it. I tried everything to get him to get it, no luck. Finally I had to write a letter saying how it was against my religion (yes, I am catholic and found a loophole where they used eggs (aka chicken fetus) and that is abortion. A long stretch, but it worked! lol He finally go them (very mild case too) so yay.

Wow! Heidi, What a trying week! It's incredibly stressful when those we love are in distress. I hope both your son and husband are feeling better soon! Write and Earn a Living´s last blog post - Writing Courses

Hi!
I’ve been following your blog for a while but have never commented. I just had to share with you on this one though!

Tell Hubby that this too shall pass! I had the same thing (without the passing out) happen to me in September. I had been moving furniture at a friends house and went to get in my care to go home. I began to feel dizzy and it just got worse and worse! And then the nausea arrived. Obviously I wasn’t going to get anywhere under my own power so we called 911.
After many tests to rule out all of those things that they ruled out for your Hubby they came to a similar conclucions for me. They added a suspected inner ear infection and put me on IV antiobiotics as I was kept in hospital for three days.
In conclusion, it took me about a week after my release (so a week and a half) to feel ‘normal’ again. Driving was interesting the 1st day or so as rapid head movements to make lane changes made me dizzy!

It is a VERY strange feeling. I hope your son is feeling better and you get some much needed rest this weekend!

My best to you and yours

Jennifer
