A few days ago, I was struck suddenly and shockingly by vertigo. I'd been dizzy before, but never like this. It wasn't until after that I thought about the massive car accident that caused the traffic jam (photographed). I don't know what caused the collision, but I can imagine vertigo being involved.
The feeling was incredibly disorienting. One moment, I was seemingly fine, and the next, it felt like the world toppled over itself and reoriented with up being down and vice versa. With my eyes closed, the blackness spun in circles. Eyes open, the room oscillated.
I felt nauseated for several days. I'd taken <strong>prochlorperazine</strong> and <strong>Bonine</strong> (meclizine); my doctor said that it could make me feel better within an hour, but I continued to feel awful for days.
The experience was horrible. I think it's over now, and I'm thankful. My temperature was dropping and spiking; 96.6 to 100.1, very, very uncomfortable. I couldn't take my other meds, either.
