Headjob

We took a bottle of this to dinner last night with [livejournal.com profile] anerys. It was delightful. I'll be buying/drinking that again. It comes with a little plastic toy bull. Bonus! I would love to buy bottled [livejournal.com profile] anerys, too. She lightened my mood yesterday.

Today, however, well...120mg of Sudafed yesterday afternoon and again this morning. Still dizzy. Still unable to move much. This blows. I wonder how much of the dizziness is playing off the depression, and vice versa.

I need to find a solution to this problem, but I don't know where to start looking. Three doctors, including an otolaryngologist (ENT doc), saw nothing unusual with my inner ear or sinuses, except the fact that I have very large sinuses in a fairly small face. I've had x-rays, a CT-scan, and numerous pokes and prods in my ear canals. Zip. My chiropractor, who worked wonders with my allergies, tried for four sessions to get some results/relief and absolutely nothing happened.

Nobody disbelieves me that have crazy dizzy spells that last for days, or that I get motion-sick from something as simple as turning around in my chair too fast, but nobody can see the cause of the problem. Why can I do a headstand from a forward-leaning position, but if I let my head lean backwards towards the floor, I start to get sick?

The situation puts "it's all in your head" in an entirely different light.
