My issues have started recently
I had to go to the local hospital for severe dizziness back on the 28th of August and was kept overnight for observation and testing.
To make everything fun, the testing hasn't brought anything back. I had a CAT scan, an MRI of just my head, and an MRI of my eyes. Everything came back clear, which is great news, yet bad news. My dizziness has gotten worse, along with severe fatigue.
My pdoc thinks it may be BPV, which is Benign Positional Vertigo. There are many causes of BPV, but it is a life long issue. Will put me on meds with the rest of my life (valium or something along those lines). My pdoc also thinks that I might have thyroid issues.
BPV can be a hard disease to deal with...you NEVER know when it could strike...it makes trying to take care of my son extremely hard because when I get dizzy - I either have to stop and hold on to something or just sit down.
I just feel frustrated with this whole thing >_<
